closeouts

End-of-stock markdowns

Closeouts are items sold at deep discounts because a store or manufacturer is discontinuing them, clearing inventory, or going out of business.

The term also names the sales themselves: The furniture store is having a closeout.

Closeout merchandise may be last season's stock, excess inventory, or products from bankrupt companies—perfectly good goods that simply need to move.
