What constitutes a bulk sale?

A bulk sale is defined as a transfer of goods that occurs in bulk and not as part of the ordinary course of business. This typically means that the goods are being sold all at once rather than in the usual incremental sales that a business might engage in on a typical day-to-day basis. Bulk sales often occur when a business is liquidating its inventory or transferring ownership in a manner that is more substantial than standard operational transactions.

In contrast, regular business transactions usually involve incremental sales, which would not constitute a bulk sale. Similarly, a sale of minor items or one where items are individually priced suggests a more typical method of selling that doesn't align with the definition of bulk sales. Therefore, the focus of the correct answer is on the nature and context of the transfer—specifically that the transfer is significant and outside normal business operations, which characterizes a bulk sale.
