Is it correct to use "finish" in this sense? I'm a seller. A costumer gets into my shop and asks, "Have got any pencils?". Then I say, "No, it has FINISHED." Is this correct? If this wrong, tell me what is the right word to use.

How about "sold out"? The word "finished" does not work here.

No, sorry I have none left, or I have sold out.

Nope, that's definitely not correct. If someone asks "Have you got any pencils?" when you've already sold them all, any of the following would be natural replies: "No, we are all sold out." "No, we are all sold out of pencils." "No, we are out of pencils." "No, we are out of them."

I'm sorry, we're sold out. I'm sorry, we've sold out of pencils.
