sell out
Empty the inventory
Sell out means to dispose of all available stock: The concert sold out in minutes.
A sellout is an event where all tickets are purchased.
Extended to betrayal, selling out means abandoning principles for money or success: Critics accused the band of selling out when they signed with a major label.
A sellout is someone who does this—once underground, now mainstream and compromised.
