peddle

An item that's peddled is sold to people who might not even want or need it. Sometimes this means buying things at a market or from someone on the street.

When we think about shopping, peddling usually comes up as selling door-to-door. Think of an old-fashioned person ringing your doorbell, trying to sell something - like vacuum cleaners, knives, or kitchen gadgets. They're peddling their wares, hoping you'll buy them. This can sometimes feel pushy or unwanted. Some people might see it as a bit annoying, but others enjoy the thrill of buying from someone who's genuinely passionate about what they're selling.
