Offer (Ask)
The price that sellers of shares are prepared to accept for their shares..
If you are buying shares you always pay the ask price (the higher price), and if you are selling shares you receive the bid price (the lower price). There is always a gap between the bid and ask prices, and this gap is called the spread..
