Before they get sold out vs Before they all sell out

The phrases are both correct, but their meanings are somewhat different. 'Before they get sold out' implies that the items are being sold out by someone or something, while 'before they all sell out' suggests that the items are selling out on their own. The choice between the two depends on the context and the intended meaning.
