Definition
开价 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to quote/name a price', typically used by the seller or in a negotiation. The object 价 can separate from 开 when a measure word or modifier is inserted, e.g., 开了一个价 (made a price offer). You can also combine it directly with adjectives like 开高价 (quote a high price) or 开低价 (quote a low price).
