商务英语入门辅导报盘文体介绍
1. 文体介绍
报盘(offer)，也叫报价，是卖方主动向买方提供商品信息，或者是对询盘的答复，是卖方根据卖方的来信，向买方报盘，其内容可包括商品名称、规格、数量、包装条件、价格、付款方式和交货期限等。报盘有两种：
虚盘(non-firm offers), 即无约束力的报盘。一般情况下，多数报盘均为虚盘，虚盘不规定报盘的有效日期，并且附有保留条件，如：The offer is subject to our final confirmation/prior sale. 该报盘已我方最后确认为准/是否事先售出为准。
实盘(firm offers)则规定有效日期，而且卖盘一旦被接受，报盘人就不能撤回。
