 * BTW, the phrase I know is "price for a quick sale". To me, the version without "a" seems like a headlinese abbreviation. Mihia (talk) 19:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * As I said below, as the creator of this entry, previously unfamiliar with WT:CFI, I agree with the IP that this is SOP and not eligible and hence should be deleted along with the other-tense entries; but my familiarity with the phrase is in the past tense, “priced for quick sale” in newspaper classifieds of the last century like the one I gave as a quote, where indeed you paid by the letter (edit: or word) to advertise. So that's the most common use I'm familiar with. --Struthious Bandersnatch (talk) 21:58, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The classifieds style that you mention would be akin to what I termed "headlinese". You could call it "telegraphese". Mihia (talk) 01:26, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, on further reflection, perhaps there is a way of looking at this such that the absence of the article needn't indicate "ese". To me it seems marginal or debatable. Mihia (talk) 01:52, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
