Inventory Value Disclaimer

The aggregate retail ticket value reflects the listed selling prices of the inventory and should not be interpreted as its current market or realisable value. Certain unique and specialist products have limited recent sales history, making their current market values difficult to independently establish. These products may present additional commercial opportunities for purchasers with access to appropriate specialist markets and customer networks. Actual selling prices and realisable values will depend on market demand, product condition and the time required to achieve sales.
