UK sellers only
Ex-display, ex-demo & clearance
Every listing links direct to the seller
Ex-Display Marketplace brings together ex-display, ex-demo and clearance stock from UK retailers, so you can find quality furniture and home goods for a good deal less than the shop price. The listings here started life on showroom floors, in demonstrations or as end-of-line stock, which means they were chosen to show a range off at its best rather than being used day to day.
You will find most things for the home across the site, from sofas, kitchens and bathrooms to bedroom furniture, garden buildings, appliances and technology. Because these were display or clearance stock, they are usually in very good condition, and the saving against buying new can be considerable, particularly on the bigger pieces.
We do not hold any stock ourselves. The site is a marketplace that points you at the retailer or seller behind each item, so every listing links straight through to the source. Browse here, click through, and deal with the seller directly.
Each listing is a one-off, so the range changes as stock sells and new clearance lines come in. It is worth checking back if you have something particular in mind, or browsing the categories to see what has turned up. Buying ex-display is a sensible way to spend less without dropping down in quality.
The appeal of ex-display is simple. A showroom model or clearance piece has usually seen little real use, so you get something close to new for a fraction of the price. On big-ticket items like kitchens, sofas, garden buildings and appliances, that difference can run to hundreds or thousands of pounds.
The range covers most of the home. Sofas and corner suites, dining and bedroom furniture, complete kitchens and bathroom fixtures, flooring and lighting, garden furniture, sheds and summer houses, fitness equipment and prams all turn up as retailers clear their displays and end-of-line stock.
Because each piece is cleared individually, it pays to move reasonably quickly on anything that fits. Check the listing for the condition, the measurements and how the seller handles delivery or collection, then click through to buy directly from the source.
Ex-display means an item that has been used for showroom or in-store display. Its job was to show customers the design, finish and features, rather than to be used day to day. As a result many ex-display items are in excellent condition, though some carry minor marks from handling, fitting or being moved.
Not usually. Second-hand generally means an item that has been owned and used in a home. Ex-display stock is normally retailer-owned and has only been on show in a showroom. It may have light wear, but it is often the pick of a range, chosen because it looks its best.
Yes. Ex-display and clearance caravans, motorhomes and awnings do appear when sellers have them, usually from dealers clearing display stock. As with every category, what is available changes regularly, so it is worth checking back if you are after something specific.
Sofas, corner sofas and armchairs are among the most common showroom items, so they come up often as clearance and ex-display listings. It is a straightforward way to get a premium look and solid build for less, especially if you are flexible on the colour, size or layout.
Often, yes. Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the biggest home-improvement costs, which is exactly where ex-display and clearance stock makes a difference. You might find a complete set or individual units, and some listings include worktops, sinks, taps or appliances, so read each one carefully.
They can be well worth it if you want a garden building without paying full retail. Ex-display summer houses may have been used for photography, on a show site or as part of a seasonal range. Condition varies, so always check the details and the measurements before you commit.
Garden furniture listings often include dining sets, lounge and corner sets, sun loungers and the odd extra like a parasol, storage box or patio heater. Stock moves quickly through the season, so the best approach is to browse regularly and act when the right set turns up.
A few categories consistently draw the most interest, mainly because they offer the biggest savings on big-ticket items:
