Everything must absolutely go
Hello to all. And a belated Merry Christmas 
This time I got a problem with this sentence quote 'Everything must absolutely go!'.
It was used in a commercial context. So I guess 'go' means being sold here.
However, I've never seen this kind of usage before. Hence I'm uncertain.
I think it means everything must be sold now(or in a short time). As a result it implies an extremely low price.
Am I correct?

This wording is often associated with a so-called "going-out-of-business-sale." Any sale implies reduced prices.
They sometimes say, "Everything must go to make room for new inventory." Of course they'd like to sell everything, but they never do.
"Lost Our Lease Sale!!!" One in my neighborhood

Hi,
'Everything must absolutely go!' Here, 'absolutely' relates to 'go'. eg things must not go a little bit, but rather completely. This is a somewhat odd meaning.
The more common form of this advertisement is
'Absolutely everything must go!' Here, 'absolutely' relates to 'everything'. ie Nothing must remain. This makes more sense.
Best wishes, Clive

Hi, Clive,
I suspect they sometimes put it in the wrong place to shock you, or to make it stand out, or to get your attention - like putting a letter backward. - or maybe they're just dumb.

Thank you so much.
I'm flattered now, becuase I've never got this many replies before. It's good to know someone cares about me.
I wish you a Happy New Year Avangi, Clive, CalifJim.
