Examples from texts

The rascal of an agent to whom she had offered to sell her furniture went around to her creditors to find out how much she owed; they took fright, and in two days she would have been sold up."
Le gredin d'homme d'affaires à qui elle avait proposé de vendre son mobilier avait été trouver ses créanciers pour leur demander combien elle leur devait ; ceux-ci avaient eu peur, et l'on allait vendre dans deux jours.

Portugal, since the republic broke up the convents and sold up the big royalist grandees, was full of bargains in the lacquer and curio line.
Car, depuis que la république a dissout les couvents et vendu les biens des grands nobles, on trouve des occasions merveilleuses au Portugal en tant que laques et curiosités.

I've seen'em as would pull a woman's child out of her arms, and set him up to sell, and she screechin' like mad all the time; – very bad policy – damages the article – makes'em quite unfit for service sometimes.
J’en ai vu arracher l’enfant des bras de la mère, et le mettre en vente, la femme criant tout le temps comme une folle. – C’est une détestable méthode! – l’article s’endommage, et devient quelquefois tout à fait impropre au service.

The advantage is, that in case of my getting in debt, or dying, – things that might happen, – you cannot now be taken up and sold.
Le grand avantage, c’est que si je venais à m’endetter ou à mourir, – choses qui peuvent arriver, – vous ne pourriez être, maintenant, ni saisis, ni vendus.
