liquidation sale

Everything must go

A liquidation sale is a sale of merchandise at steep discounts, typically when a business is closing or needs to convert inventory to cash quickly.

The term implies genuine bargains rather than routine promotional pricing: Everything must go—liquidation sale!

Retailers sometimes use the phrase loosely to suggest urgency even when not actually closing.
