Bargain down
Hi,
I found this sentence but I'm not sure if it's correct. Can somebody say:
"I BARGAINED her DOWN to half what she originally wanted."
I ask because I know one can bargain a price down, but I'm not sure if one can say that to a person.
Also, I noticed the sentence contains "half what she wanted", shouldn't it be half of what she wanted?
