Images I sold out of (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idols

'images' is the definition.
(I know this)

'i sold out of' is the wordplay.
'out of' is an anagram indicator.
'sold' with letters rearranged gives 'dols'.
'i'+'dols'='IDOLS'

(Other definitions for idols that I've seen before include "Objects of worship" , "False gods" , "Effigies worshipped as gods" , "Graven images sometimes worshipped" , "Much-admired persons" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
