There not planes sitting around waiting for a buyer.
No OEM is building aircraft to stock. They are generally build to order.
Bombardier may be desperate however to keep the production line going by selling some new 900 for marginal cost.
Don't expect a sizable number of new planes before late 2018 if there will be an order for new equipment.
