nonmarketable

Not for sale

Nonmarketable describes something that cannot be easily sold or traded on the open market.

Nonmarketable securities like U.S. savings bonds can't be transferred to another owner—they must be redeemed by the original purchaser.

The term also applies to goods or skills with no commercial demand: His expertise in obsolete machinery proved nonmarketable.
