[be] sold cheap/cheaply?
Dear All:
- The goods are sold cheap.
- The goods are sold cheaply.
I found that "sold cheap" has more hits than "sold cheaply" on google books search and some corpuses (Corpus Of Contemporary American English; Time Magazine Corpus; and British National Corpus)
Which is correct?
Best Regards
