I'm auctioning off out/away (? Non native speaker ๐Ÿ˜…) my old-ish gaming consoles and this person is asking about a unit's serial number. Why? I mean, I put up more than ten images of the console from various angles and such... What's the significance?

I 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
