Which of these two is the correct form to say?

Are there alternatives to say the same?

Both of these sentences are acceptable, with the latter being more natural. This is because you directly can associate 'pay' with 'sell' or 'buy'.

Additionally, you can even say:

I would sell my book to you for 100 dollars

  • @Isa, 'give' is mostly informal. So I would suggest using 'pay' in a formal context. But that's just my opinion.
