Haggler

/ˈhæɡlər/ noun

Definition

A person who haggles; someone who persistently negotiates or argues about price or terms.

Etymology

From 'haggle' plus the agent suffix '-er.' This is one of English's most productive ways to create nouns for 'people who do X.'

Kelly Says

Haggler appears constantly in Victorian novels as a stock character—the working-class person haggling at markets was seen as colorful and authentic, a disappearing type even then.
