خلفية ثقافية
The term evokes the image of traditional open-air markets where vendors shout to attract crowds. It became iconic during the economic reforms when surplus goods were sold off cheaply. Today, it remains a staple of 'low-price' marketing in both physical stalls and e-commerce platforms like Taobao.
The 'Last Day' Trick
If you see a sign saying 'Last Day of 甩卖', don't panic. In many Chinese markets, that sign stays up for weeks!
Quality Check
Items in a `甩卖` are often non-refundable. Check for small defects before you 'throw' your money at them.

What It Means
甩卖 is the ultimate bargain hunter's keyword. It means a clearance sale. Think of it as a 'fire sale' or 'everything must go.' The word 甩 means to throw or toss. It implies the seller is so desperate to clear space that they are practically tossing items at customers for pennies. You will see this on bright red posters in shop windows.
How To Use It
You can use it as a noun or a verb. If you see a sign saying 大甩卖, that is a 'Grand Clearance Sale.' If a friend asks why your new shoes were so cheap, you can say they were 甩卖 items. It usually follows the store name or the item type. For example, 书店甩卖 means the bookstore is having a clearance.
When To Use It
Use it when you find a massive discount. It is perfect for seasonal changes. Think of winter coats in March or mooncakes the day after Mid-Autumn Festival. It is also great for talking about businesses closing down. If a shop is moving locations, they will definitely have a 甩卖. Use it when texting friends about a deal they cannot miss.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for luxury brands or high-end boutiques. You will never see a Rolex 甩卖. It sounds a bit 'cheap' and loud. Avoid using it in a serious business negotiation about high-value contracts. It sounds like you are selling junk. Also, do not use it to describe a small 10% discount. That is just a 打折 (discount), not a 甩卖.
Cultural Background
In Chinese street culture, 甩卖 is often accompanied by loud speakers. You might hear a recorded voice shouting 'Last three days!' for six months straight. It represents the vibrant, chaotic energy of local markets. It is the heart of the 'street stall economy.' People love the thrill of finding a hidden gem in a pile of 甩卖 goods.
Common Variations
The most common version is 大甩卖 (Big Clearance). You might also hear 清仓甩卖 (Warehouse Clearance). In modern internet slang, people sometimes use 跳楼价 (price so low the boss wants to jump off a building). It is dramatic, but that is the spirit of a true Chinese bargain!
ملاحظات الاستخدام
Mainly used in retail and casual conversation. It carries a 'loud' and 'urgent' tone, so avoid it in subtle or high-luxury contexts.
The 'Last Day' Trick
If you see a sign saying 'Last Day of 甩卖', don't panic. In many Chinese markets, that sign stays up for weeks!
Quality Check
Items in a `甩卖` are often non-refundable. Check for small defects before you 'throw' your money at them.
The Power of Red
Almost all `甩卖` signs are written in yellow or white ink on a bright red background to grab your attention and signal 'luck' and 'deals'.
