Investopedia explains 'Non-Negotiable'

1. When an asking price is considered non-negotiable, it means that you cannot try to change the price as it has been firmly established.

2. Securities and products that are considered non-negotiable cannot be transferred from one party to the next and thus are typically illiquid.

An example of a non-negotiable instrument would be a government savings bond. These can only be redeemed by the owner of the bond and are not allowed to be sold to other parties.

Also known as registered securities, non-marketable or non-transferable securities.
