Dispose of half a case for fifty quid (4)

I believe the answer is:

sell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dispose' is the definition.
(I know that dispose is a more specific form of sell)

'of half a case for fifty quid' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'half a' means to take half the letters.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'fifty' becomes 'l' (Roman numeral).
'quid' becomes 'l' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'case' cut in half is 'se'.
'se' put after 'l' is 'lse'.
'lse' anagrammed gives 'sel'.
'sel'+'l'='SELL'

(Other definitions for sell that I've seen before include "Exchange goods etc. for money" , "Retail" , "Give up for a price" , "Dispose of, maybe in 23" , "Exchange for cash" .)
