vending - Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Vend \Vend\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Vended; p. pr. & vb. n.
     Vending.] [F. vendre, L. vendere, from venum dare; venus
     sale + dare to give. See 2d Venal, Date, time.]
     To transfer to another person for a pecuniary equivalent; to
     make an object of trade; to dispose of by sale; to sell; as,
     to vend goods; to vend vegetables.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Vend differs from barter. We vend for money; we barter
           for commodities. Vend is used chiefly of wares,
           merchandise, or other small articles, not of lands and
           tenements.
           [1913 Webster]
