How it's used
Carries a slightly more formal or professional tone than the everyday word 賣. It is frequently seen in classified advertisements or online forums where individuals are offloading personal items, memberships, or property. Using this word implies a deliberate transfer of ownership rather than a simple retail transaction.
Examples
He wants to sell those concert tickets he has on hand.
Are you planning to sell this second-hand car?

Common phrases
to sell a property unit
to transfer interests or rights
Common mistake
Avoid using this for everyday grocery shopping or casual sales, as it sounds overly stiff and pretentious in those contexts. Stick to 賣 for common items like food or clothes.
