1. asking price; seller's quoted price
The price the seller names, before any haggling. Usually used when the buyer either accepts it without negotiating or complains that it is too high.
言(い)い値(ね)で買(か)った。
I bought it at the asking price.
相手(あいて)の言(い)い値(ね)をそのまま払(はら)うつもりはない。
I have no intention of simply paying the other party's asking price.
市場(いちば)では言(い)い値(ね)から交渉(こうしょう)が始(はじ)まるので、そのまま払(はら)う人(ひと)はいない。
At the market, negotiation starts from the asking price, so nobody pays it as it stands.

The stem of 言(い)う (to say) + 値(ね) (price): the price that is said. Do not confuse it with the いいね of social-media "likes", which is written in kana.
