Canadian Liquidation Price Index
The Canadian Liquidation Price Index
What do Amazon-return and overstock goods actually sell for in Canada? We pulled the numbers from our own auction floor in Kitchener — 47,000+ real results — so you can see the real price of liquidation, not a sales pitch.
Nobody in Canadian liquidation publishes what things really sell for — so we did. Every number below comes from items that genuinely sold at our weekly Kitchener auction, where the price is set by bidders, not by us. You can browse the raw results yourself on our live results page. Think of this as the "blue book" for liquidation: a reality check before you buy, bid, or resell.
What you actually pay, by retail price band
This is the core of the index. We took a sample of 3,848 recent results and grouped them by the item's retail reference price. "Typically sells for" is the median — the middle result, so half sold for less and half for more.
| If retail is… | It typically sells for | Discount | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|
| $20 – $50 | ~$5 | 85% off | 1,396 |
| $50 – $100 | ~$7 | 88% off | 385 |
| $100 – $250 | ~$25 | 89% off | 438 |
| $250 – $500 | ~$45 | 86% off | 922 |
| $500 – $1,000 | ~$120 | 79% off | 258 |
| $1,000 and up | ~$490 | 61% off | 54 |
What common products sell for
Prices for specific popular items, based on the real units that sold. Sample sizes are shown honestly — smaller samples mean a wider real-world range.
| Product | Typically sells for | vs retail ~ | Off | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone (unlocked handsets) | $290–$590 | $849 | ~50% | 29 |
| Dyson (vacuum / hair care) | $165–$305 | $699 | ~66% | 25 |
| Robot vacuum | $55–$120 | $501 | ~84% | 14 |
| AirPods | $65–$158 | $284 | ~62% | 19 |
| Apple Watch | $50–$185 | $330 | ~79% | 9 |
Ranges show the middle 50% of real sold prices (25th–75th percentile). We only list products with enough genuine units to be meaningful — accessories are excluded, so an "iPhone" here is a phone, not a case.

- As a buyer: before you bid, check the band. If a $400-retail item is already at $150, that's above the typical $45 — wait for a quieter week.
- As a reseller: your cost target is the "typically sells for" column; your margin is the gap to local resale value.
- As a shopper comparing options: use it against bin stores and other auctions — see who's in the region on our Ontario Liquidation Radar, and read the full Kitchener-Waterloo liquidation guide.
Frequently asked questions
How much do liquidation items sell for in Canada?
Across a 3,848-item sample, goods sold for a median of about 84% below retail. Roughly: $100–$250 retail → about $25; $250–$500 → about $45; $500–$1,000 → about $120; $1,000+ → about $490. It's an auction, so individual results vary week to week.
How much can I save versus buying retail?
In our sample the typical discount ranged from about 61% on $1,000+ items up to about 89% on mid-range goods. Cheaper overstock is discounted the most; premium electronics hold more value.
Are the discounts real, or is the retail price inflated?
The retail figures are manufacturer list prices or prices at major Canadian retailers around the time of sale — not numbers we set. And because it's an auction, bidders set the final price, so the discount reflects what real people chose to pay.
Retail reference prices are provided for comparison only and are sourced from manufacturers or major retailers, not set by AmazeDeals. AmazeDeals is an auction — final prices are determined by bidders and vary; past results are examples and not a promise of future prices or savings.
