Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number?
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 weeks agoI would find that an odd phrasing.
I’ve always heard “auctioning off” or “putting up for auction” or just auctioning.

Oh wow!
Yeah, putting up for auction is more general and common. I guess I don’t “auction off” enough things to know what most people say.
I’ve heard “auction away” enough – maybe that’s what the nom-professionals say? Lol

I think it definitely makes sense and I’m not sure I’d notice if I read it. I might assume it is a localized English thing (“how are you going” in Australis, or “standing on line” in New York)
