Honestly, go download Pleco, and purchase all the add-ons. ABC: covert to cash (V.O.)/appear by magic (V) PLC: convert assets into cash OXC: liquidate, realize KEY: turn into cash/realize (the cash value of assets, stock, etc.) and even 规范: 把非现金的财产、有价证券等换成现金。if you like German: realisieren (V)/realisiert

倒卖 is not resell, or at least its missing an important connotation.  If I've gotten it right, it means to sell something that doesn't belong to you. Don't use it for ordinary resellers, who are 經銷商, not 倒賣商. This meaning is not in Google translate.
