attempted sale
Explanation:
I think that you can use "attempted sale" the term is used in US Law:

(19) of an item of personal property, including a food product, that is made by hand by an individual, if the sale or attempted sale of the item is made by the individual who made the item; in this paragraph, "made by hand" includes the use of ordinary household devices if the majority of the value of the item is added by the labor of the individual.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, in fact that's what I've been writing for years, but I needed confirmation. The proforma had been half-written by the customer who had had the bright idea of using his own translation here, "tried selling", which of course is rubbish!
