'they' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'have lots to sell' is the wordplay.
'have lots' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'sell' becomes 'auctioneer' (auctioneering is a kind of selling).
's' after 'auctioneer' is 'AUCTIONEERS'.
