Please give us some contextTömk. Is there more to the sentence? In what situation would you use it?
(For starters"buy" and "sell" are verbswhile "sale" is a noun.)
(For starters"buy" and "sell" are verbswhile "sale" is a noun.)
"Buy" matches "Sell"so that pair of words is goodbut they do not use "of". A sign might say:
We Buy and Sell Used Bicycles
I Buy and Sell Used Bicycles
Buy and Sell - Used Bicycles
A little more formalto put on a store:
Purchase and Sale of Used Bicycles
Used Bicycles Bought and Sold
We Buy and Sell Used Bicycles
I Buy and Sell Used Bicycles
Buy and Sell - Used Bicycles

Purchase and Sale of Used Bicycles
Used Bicycles Bought and Sold

Sale is a nounsell is a verb. Buy is a verb. There is no corresponding short noun.
If you want to write a sign to tell people that you buy and sell bicycleswhy don't you just put "We buy and sell bicycles" or "Bicycles bought and sold here"?
Humour should be funnynot silly.
