Following the recent upgrade of the Comet auction site, the electrical specialist reveals that some customers have successfully bid as little as £1 for big electrical items and kitchen accessories, making savings of up to 98%.

 

In a tough financial climate where saving money is a high priority for consumers, it comes as a welcome chance to purchase high quality products at bargain prices. The site, www.clearance-comet.co.uk, gives consumers the chance to make an offer on a mixture of new products, end of line products, refurbished items and returns.

 

A recent example of the bargains available on the site saw one consumer bag a £199.99 Hotpoint freezer for just £1, with other bargains including:

 

  • An Indesit washer-drier, retail value of £379, sold for just £2
  • Newworld NW802FZ freezer, RRP £229.99, sold for £2
  • Beko DGS582W gas cooker, RRP £339.99, sold for £3
  • Sony DPF-D80/TC 8″ digital photo frame RRP £79.99 sold for £40
  • A Garmin satellite navigation system, with a retail value of £119, sold for just £48
  • An Hitachi 19 inch TV with built in DVD, with a retail value of £169.99, sold for just £95

 

Other big electrical items selling for discounted prices on the website include washing machines, dishwashers, fridge freezers and cookers, all on sale for drastically reduced prices.

 

With many bids starting at just one pound and no reserve prices set, consumers have the opportunity to buy home appliances for a fraction of the retail price; and they still hold a six month warranty. Users on the site can either bid on auctions or use the ‘buy now’ button to purchase products instantly.

 

Bill Moir, Comet’s head of marketing, had this to say: “At a time when the whole nation is trying to save money, the Comet site is a savvy option”. The items are all either brand new, end, have been displayed in store or have been returned by customers. All items work perfectly do, being refurbished where necessary. With some going for as little as £1 it’s a real money saver.”
