Rfv-sense: "A particular opportunity for a sale". I'm not quite sure what this sense is getting at, but I think it's a misunderstanding of things like "there's a sale to be made here", which refers to an actual sale (instance of exchanging a good for money) rather than an 'opportunity'. Compare something like "there's a chance of a goal here" where there's no sense at goal to cover an opportunity. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Several dictionaries have the sense in almost that wording: MWO, RHU, WNW, AHD, Collins. I'm not familiar with the sense. Webster 1913 had the wording most of these have: "Opportunity of selling; demand; market." The usage example is from that master of the idiom of commerce, Spenser: They shall have ready sale for them. This looks like a job for the OED. DCDuring TALK 01:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
