before they got sold out vs before they sold out

These are both acceptable phrases, but their meanings differ a bit. 'Before they got sold out' implies that the items were sold out by someone else, while 'before they sold out' implies that the items sold out on their own. The choice between the two depends on the context and the intended meaning.
