cannot be purchased vs is not available

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'Cannot be purchased' implies that the item is not for sale or cannot be bought, while 'is not available' suggests that the item is currently unavailable but may become available in the future. The choice between the two depends on the specific context and the intended message.
