She said: “I bought made.com furniture at auction for cheap, the popular furniture store recently went bust and I pretty much bought their liquidation stock.”
Liquidation return pallets are a box full of inventory which cannot be sold in the regular store.
Many stores have begun selling off their old backlog of stock for lower costs in an effort to make profit from unsellable items.
Many people even made a living out of refurbishing goods from return pallets.

But there is always a risk and some people are left disappointed with their pallets.
Roxi herself confessed she didn’t know what to expect before unpacking her haul.
She said: “The thing about auctions is you never really know what you're getting. You only get a couple of pictures here and there of the listing but it never shows you what quality the items are in so you do take a bit o a risk.”
“In my case this is a massive risk because this could be a brand new piece of furniture that didn’t get sold or it could be customer returns, they could be faulty, they could be defective.”
