We need to know how much the item is selling for

Question

I heard that from a tutorial video and wondered if there is anything grammatically wrong with it. FYI, the narrator is native American

Thanks for your help in advance

Answer 1

سلام 

جمله از نظر دستوری درست است.

ترجمه: لازم است بدانیم این جنس را با چه قیمتی دارند عرضه می کنند.

لازم است بدانیم این جنس با چه قیمتی دارد به فروش می رسد.

Answer 2

Nothing's wrong with it. If sth sells for an amount of money,it costs that much

Comments

Shouldn't it have been:

We need to know how much the item is sold for

or

We need to know how much the item is going to be sold for

---

There is no grammatical mistake as the second meaning of "sell" is meant.

 [intransitive and transitive] to offer something for people to buy:

a job selling advertising space

sell at/for £100/$50/30p etc (=be offered for sale at £100/$50/30p etc)

Smoke alarms sell for as little as five pounds.
