Preț fix

Fixed price

Bedeutung

A cost that cannot be negotiated.

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

Haggling is common in 'piețe' (open-air markets), but 'preț fix' is the rule in 'magazine' (shops). Romanians often ignore the 'preț fix' label in ads and try to haggle anyway, leading to the common phrase 'Ultimul preț?'. In some cities, drivers might offer a 'preț fix' to avoid using the meter, which is technically illegal but common for long distances. Even if an apartment is listed with 'preț fix', there is almost always a 2-5% margin for negotiation in the Romanian market.

💡

Look for the sign

In Romanian shops, if you don't see a 'reducere' sign, assume it is 'preț fix'.

⚠️

Don't be rude

If a seller says 'preț fix' twice, stop negotiating. It can be seen as disrespectful to continue.

🎯

Online Ads

If an ad says 'preț fix', don't send a message asking 'Care e ultimul preț?'. It's a common annoyance for sellers.

💬

The 'Piață' Exception

Even if there are price tags at the vegetable market, you can often get a discount if you buy in bulk (e.g., 5kg of potatoes).
