Very last sale (4)

I believe the answer is:

vend

'sale' is the definition.

'very last' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'last' becomes 'end'.
'v'+'end'='VEND'

(Other definitions for vend that I've seen before include "Peddle" , "trade" , "Offer for sale" , "Sell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
