marketable
Ready for sale
Marketable describes something that can be sold or is likely to attract buyers.
A marketable skill is one employers want and will pay for; marketable securities are investments that can be quickly converted to cash.
The word often carries connotations of practical value in competitive contexts: Her degree made her more marketable to tech companies.
Something unmarketable, by contrast, lacks appeal or cannot legally be sold.
