the administrators of furniture chain Courts warn that customers who have paid a cash deposit are likely to lose their money.
Accountants KPMG, who are responsible for salvaging what they can, say shoppers rank behind the banks and suppliers which are owed more than £280m.
No more deliveries of sofas will be sent out, unless a customer has paid in full and the goods are in the Courts warehouse.
Courts are closed but will reopen on Thursday or Friday to sell the old stock at a discount.
KPMG has had more than 25 approaches from potential buyers.
