What “subject to prior sale” means

“Subject to prior sale” is not decorative language. It tells the buyer that the lot can be sold to someone else before the full inquiry, quote, and order cycle is complete.

Why this condition exists

Borvanta works with one-off industrial surplus lots, not endless recurring inventory. Some lots are available only once and can clear quickly.

That means the site needs to explain clearly that a published lot is not guaranteed until availability is checked and the commercial structure is aligned.

What buyers should do

Treat this wording as a signal to move with a complete RFQ: quantity, packaging, destination, timeline, and required documents.

Incomplete RFQs waste time and increase the risk that a workable lot disappears before the conversation becomes concrete.

How it should be read on the site

The phrase belongs on live-offer pages, RFQ guidance, and commercial-model pages so buyers understand it before they send an inquiry.

It should not be buried in fine print after the buyer has already assumed that stock is guaranteed.
