Bedeutung
Selling off stock at low prices
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Indonesia, 'Cuci Gudang' is often accompanied by 'Midnight Sales' in big cities like Jakarta, where malls stay open until 12 AM or 2 AM. Digital versions of cuci gudang are called 'Flash Sales' or 'Cuci Gudang Digital' on apps like Shopee and Tokopedia, often happening on double dates like 11.11 or 12.12. In traditional markets (Pasar), 'cuci gudang' might be called 'obral' and involves the seller shouting prices to attract passersby. Influencers often do 'Preloved Cuci Gudang' where they sell their used branded items at very low prices to clear their closets.
Check the Goods
Always inspect items at a cuci gudang carefully. Since they are clearing old stock, some items might have minor defects or be near their expiration date.
No Returns
Most cuci gudang sales have a 'no return' policy. Make sure you really want the item before paying!
