Hi guys! Could you please help me to understand the following phrase?
"We liquidate while you wait, walk-ins our specialty!"
I get at the first part, but the second one is kinda riddle to me. Is it an idiom? Or maybe some words are missing here?
Thanks!

walks-ins [are] our specialty. No idiom here, as far as I'm concerned. The broader context, I'm sure, is better known to you (it could be estate liquidation or what not).

Hello, Anonymous:
I think the verb has been ellipted from the second clause:
...walks-ins [are] our specialty.
No idiom here, as far as I'm concerned. The broader context, I'm sure, is better known to you (it could be estate liquidation or what not). I believe "walk-ins" could refer to "walk-in services" (i.e. those rendered without appointment or reservation).
