salable

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   suitable or sufficiently desirable to be sold

   The damaged furniture had to be repaired before it was salable.

Formed in the sixteenth century from sale + -able. The spelling saleable preserves the final e of sale and is usual in British English; salable is an established spelling used mainly in American English. Both forms can mean either fit to be sold or likely to find a buyer.
