Not sure how you have come to the conclusion there are some "bargains"?  I scrolled through a a good few pages and found no item where the price had reached its reserve.

Also remember that you will need to add about 30% onto a final winning bid to cover VAT and seller fees.

Fair enough. However it does look like a lot of the stoves aren't going to make big prices....

Or just not sell.

what does a liquidator do with stock that doesn't sell?

So whats the purpose of the reserve?

The liquidator should be looking to get rid of stock as quickly as possible and turn it into cash.  Doesn't look like a good liquidation sale to me with reserves on everything as that won't encourage bidding.

Why don't you phone up the liquidator/ auctioneer and ask them?

 

All I know is that some of the stoves look cheap. Lot 38 is a Morso Squirrel, RRP £1,200. Current bid is £250 and the reserve has been met. Lot 116 is a 10kw stove that has met the reserve at £15....

 

I just started this thread as I thought someone here might need a cheap stove... I wasn't expecting an interrogation...

Thanks for that, I have a mate in peebles who could pick stuff up for me. Will see if I can find a bargain!
