Status Rules

How each status should change the buyer path

Each status should help you decide whether to ask for price, confirm availability, request a similar machine or compare another route.

Available

Request current price and confirm availability

Use available pages when you want the fastest path to quotation. Confirm machine type, width, thickness range, coil weight and inspection timing before you move forward.

Reserved

Check if the unit is still open

Reserved pages should push the buyer toward a confirmation check or a similar-machine request. Do not assume the machine is still free until it is reconfirmed.

Sold Reference

Use the page as a sourcing reference

Sold pages are still useful because they preserve confirmed specs, sold month and public destination. Buyers can use them to source a similar used machine instead of starting from zero.

When available machines are not enough

If the listed machine is sold or not an exact fit, send the requirement through the sourcing RFQ path. This lets Coilmill compare similar used machines, refurbishment scope and new options.

Why sold pages still matter

Sold pages are not dead ends. They help buyers confirm machine scope, compare similar stock and move faster when the exact unit is gone.

Sold pages keep the search intent alive

A sold machine page still matches the buyer's search intent when the original unit is gone. It can answer the exact model, width and process questions that brought the visitor in.

They make similar-machine sourcing faster

The published sold record gives the buyer a concrete reference point. From there, the practical path becomes a similar-stock RFQ instead of a dead end.

They support trust without inventing a story

Sold pages should only publish confirmed facts. That keeps SEO continuity, avoids fabricated case narratives and still supports procurement decisions.
