German term or phrase: Zwischenverkauf vorbehalten
Definition:
Zwischenverkauf vorbehalten ist eine Handelsklausel zwischen Verkäufer und potentiellem Käufer, die bedeutet, daß der Verkäufer die Sache so lange an andere Interessenten verkaufen kann, wie der mögliche Käufer den Antrag nicht angenommen hat. Bis zur Annahme bleibt der Verkäufer demnach nicht an sein Angebot gebunden.

What I need is an English short conventional equivalent of the German phrase to use it without context. The phrase comes from a spare parts catalog.
