Bargain alert: Snap up cheap Phones4u gear at auction

Remember when Phones4u went bust? While it was unlucky, it could now result in you saving a bit of cash ahead of the gift-giving season.

When the retail giant went under, it still had plenty of stock left over. Stock which its administrator, PricewaterhouseCoopers, is putting up for auction.

Each week (beginning on Friday evenings and ending on Tuesday afternoons), headphones, smartwatches, speakers and cases will go under the hammer.

There are up to 3000 items that need to be shifted overall, with the aim to raise just under £11 million to pay off the company’s various debts. Unfortunately for consumers who were left in the lurch at the time, it’s unlikely that any of the money raised will make it through as refunds.

Still, if you fancy trying your luck over the next few weeks then head on over to this link to see what you can snap up. Good luck!
