The entire Phones4U inventory of over 600,000 items including iPhones and iPads is being liquidated.
Phones4U was a large U.K. retailer that recently entered administration (bankruptcy) after EE, Vodafone, Orange and O2 terminated their contracts with the company this year.
Bidding is now live at John Pye Auctions on over 2000 lots that include hundreds of iPhone 5 and 5c devices, iPad Airs, iPad minis, Sony Xperia Z phones and tablets, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and Note 10.1 devices, Beats headphones, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii-U consoles, and more.
All lots are ‘Sold As Seen’ as auction lots, they cannot be returned or exchanged via ourselves or retailers. They are available for public purchasing and there is public showing on Monday, January 5th from 10am to 2pm at John Pye & Sons' warehouse in Staffordshire.
The auction house does not deliver items; however, lots can be collected from the salerooms by bidders themselves or their own courier (eg. Parcelforce, DHL).
Not stupid Brits, they failed to secure the contract renewal which put them out of business due to EE being their main (only) supplier.
So no, not stupid Brits - Greedy Capitalist EE who don't want any competition to make people buy from them. Monopolising the Mobile Phone industry.
And our prices usually include VAT unlike in the States where your sales tax gets added on at the till.
And finally... Apple products are nearly 2-3 times the price over here than they are in America so these prices are an absolute steal when an IPhone here retails for equivalent to $900-$1000
Do some research before you make stupid comments.
Well you dumb Brits have hellacious taxes due to your free education and free health. So f*ck off. Don't complain about the prices in England. Mismanagement is mismanagement no matter how you put it.
I'm not sure If I read the wrong item but it said that there were NO Delivery..so this is simply for the folks that lives in that area of the world? hmmm what a waste of time.
Some people in the UK need to learn simple maths and reading skills
For example, bidding £229 on an iPad Air with a recommended RRP of £319 makes no sense at at when there is a 20% buyers premium (bp) and 20% VAT on the bid price + bp.
229 + 20% bp = £274.80
274.80 + 20% VAT = £329.76, which is already over the RRP by about £10 and then there is shipping and 2.5% credit card charges.
Bids at these prices are NOT a deal at all.
