Vender means 'to sell', and it is a model regular -er verb that fits shopping, money and work topics. Venden ropa (they sell clothes), vendí mi bici (I sold my bike). It is the natural opposite of comprar ('to buy'), and the two often appear together when describing transactions. The phrase se vende ('for sale') is everyday vocabulary. Because it is perfectly regular, vender doubles as clean -er practice. As with other -er verbs, the preterite accents (vendí, vendió) are the detail to keep right.
