What does RESALE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The sale of something that was bought earlier, rather than a first sale by its maker or original owner.
Resale covers any second (or later) sale of an item, from a used car passed to a new owner to a house sold again years after it was built, and the word is common in phrases such as resale value and resale price. It differs from wholesale or retail, which describe the first sale from producer to shop or shop to customer; resale always implies the item already had at least one owner. The term is widely used in real estate, the ticket market and online marketplaces, where buyers care about how easily something can be sold on again. Estate agents in particular use resale value as a standard measure of how good a purchase a property is likely to be.

Common in everyday and business writing, especially about property, vehicles, and tickets bought for the purpose of selling on.
