The news that HMV stores up and down the country would be closing was met with widespread disappointment yesterday (February 6).

The entertainment retailer announced that the shutters would be pulled down on 27 branches - including the one in Bath - after it entered administration for the second time in six years.

Although Canadian business Sunshine Records agreed to buy out the chain, it was revealed that only 100 locations would be saved.

But, what does this mean for the stock in the stores being shut?

Our colleagues at Devon Live contacted KPMG, the auditor which oversaw the HMV administration process, to find out what exactly is the plan for the thousands of DVDs, Blu-Rays, Vinyl records, Funko Pop! figurines and CDs sat abandoned.

Unfortunately, it is bad news for anyone expecting a bargain - there will be no clearance sale.

KPMG said that any stock still in stores are awaiting suppliers to collect them.

Why did HMV collapse?

HMV went into administration in December 2018  after a whopping 30 per cent fall in demand for DVDs at Christmas.
