clearance items

Deeply reduced stock

Clearance items are products marked down for quick sale, typically because they're being discontinued, are out of season, or need to make room for new inventory.

The term appears in retail contexts: The clearance items are in the back of the store.

Clearance implies deeper discounts than ordinary sales—the goal is moving merchandise out, not maximizing profit.
