sold

In the dictionary, sell is ALSO a noun, meaning the act of selling. So, there is no error on saying, "For Sell."

See the Webster dictionary:

Yes, it was used as a noun in the 15th-18th centuries or in other languages (selle, sella) other than in English.

So, I bet If it was used in an English test today, it would be marked as an error. I did Google "for sell" and this was the only entry appeared on the first few screens:
for sell
