Definition from own experience or research:
A pánikvásárlás azt a cselekedetet jelenti, amikor is emberek hirtelen, a bennük fellépő bizonytalanság érzése miatti ijedtségtől befolyásolva vagy kedvezőtlen eljövendő esemény(ek)re számítva szokatlanul nagy mennyiségű árut szereznek be, valamilyen érték ellenében.

Example sentence(s):
  • Bár pánikvásárlás már ekkor is volt, az aggodalmak ellenére csak a lakosság 11 százaléka kezdett készletezni, aztán a felmérés időszakában ez már felfutott a lakosság negyedére. - Infostart  
  • A képet Angliában rögzítették, de a pánikvásárlás nem csak ott, hanem szinte mindenhol jellemző, hiába hívják fel a szakértők minduntalan a figyelmet arra, hogy felesleges a tömeges felhalmozás, a boltok nyitva lesznek, és megfelelő mennyiségű árukészlet áll rendelkezésre. - Life.hu  
  • A pánikvásárlás miatt fogy el, nem azért, mert keveset gyártanak. - PROMOTIONS.HU
