Default Is there anything left in Maplins?

How much would it cost someone buying up the stock to collect all those singly packaged
items in the stores, sort them out and then list them separately for re-sale?


They're still trying to run an online operation of sorts.

A lot of the stuff they're classing as "previously owned" when in fact what
they're probably talking about is demonstration or display stock.

So is presumably from various branches.

The big problem they have, is that they can't offer any guarentee - all the
website stuff is offered "sold as seen".

Which you'd imagine is enough to put most people off as even if only in
theory, buying from Amazon Marketplace or eBay sellers does offer some
form of customer protection.
