higgler

noun

1. (archaic)An itinerant trader, especially one dealing in dairy produce and poultry.

   “He was, besides, the best sacrifice the higgler could make, as he had supplied him with no game since; and by this means the witness had an opportunity of screening his better customers:”

   “Barter’d for game from chace or warren won, / Yon cask holds moonlight, run when moon was none; / And late-snatch’d spoils lie stow’d in hutch apart, / To wait the associate higgler’s evening cart.”

   “[E]very poulterer in the neighbourhood had repeatedly refused her custom […] so that her only means of procuring poultry was of the higglers: their fowls, she found out, were either so ill fed, or of such an enormous age, that there was no gravy to follow the knife […]”

   “'I don't quite like my children going away from home,' said the higgler.”

2. A person who haggles or negotiates for lower prices.
3. (Jamaica)A seller of any kind of small produce or wares; a huckster.
