However bargaining (haggling or bartering) in markets have existed since the inception of trading itself as early as the trade-by-barter era. In this paper a system is built to simulate this behaviour between buyer and seller and to show that it is enjoyable practical and certainly a valuable commercial product. The bargain model has some advantages over fixed pricing which could be exploited to the benefit of sellers and buyers alike. The software system designed and implemented in this work is essentially a web app achieved using objected-oriented programming; using languages and tools such as Python Django HTML SASS JavaScript Postgres and agile methodology.
