    Default sold

    Hi there,

    Is it grammatically correct to use 'sold out' like this?

    A: Excuse me, do you have a book called...?
    B: No, I'm sorry, we are sold out.

    thanks

    Hi there,

    Thanks a lot. How about 'The book is sold out'? Is it correct?
    Thanks

    Yes, it means: to sell all of the perticular book that is in stock.
