Have seen numerous episodes on trips to Canada, and have found it a fun watch. No two shows exactly alike, and it's filled with various characters the host has to deal with. Search as I may, I cannot find it on any of the US networks. Wish HGTV, Discovery, or some US channel would carry the show. What are they waiting for? Jeff, the host, says he'll buy anything, and from the shows I've seen, that's pretty much true. I've seen him buy everything from bongs to what's left in an Asian food store after being closed for weeks, and somehow he makes money on the stuff he deals for. He manages to fill a huge warehouse store that he fills with the stuff he accumulates. The store looks like one of those places you could spends hours in, seeing what he's found. I think the show would do well in the US because there's nothing else out there like it. Bring it on!

This Show is just Awesome

After you start watching this show, you just want more. Its a true reality show, not a soap opera pretending to be reality. Its all about the deal, buy low, sell high. Making money, that's the name of the game.Its raw, fast, straightforward. If you like a true reality show, then this is a no-brainer. They buy everything they can make money on, i mean everything. Only problem is you can only watch it in Canada. It should be sold to some US channel like Discovery or History, so it can be viewed worldwide. People don't know what they're missing. Thumbs up big time, and always waiting for the next episode. Warning: Watching this show may cause addiction. If u feel you're getting hooked seek professional help FAST.
Best Reality Show on TV

The Liquidator is one of the most Raw, Real Reality Shows on Television Today!! No fluff just pure Deal Making, unlike some other shows on TV these days. Watching Jeff and the Motley Crew of Misfits, Rabbi's, Bikers and Wheeler Dealers is Refreshingly Exciting to Watch. This show has so much potential but what's next for Jeff, what can he sell that he hasn't sold before. Keep the Seasons coming as everyone I know just can't get enough of "the Liquidator" one of my Favorite Episodes was the Barn Auction at the end of Season 1 where Jeff takes a ride in a Bondage/fetish wheel. This show is done so well the biggest compliment I can give it is it maybe a Canadian Reality Show but it keeps a better pace with any of the U.S. Reality Auction/Liquidation shows currently on the market. If your looking to be blown away and thoroughly entertained I suggest you make "the Liquidator" on OLN one to watch!!!
Awesome fun show

The first season was entertaining
ta-6064414 October 2023
It was pretty entertaining at the start but stayed on the air way too long. Once Jose' wasn't a regular anymore it just got pretty flat. That guy added some personality and would tell Jeff exactly what he thought. Then he lost his warehouse manager and with that it was missing the bit of sanity to offset
Jeff's personality. With it being all Jeff all the time, it got a bit too much in last half of episodes. It was entertaining when it was more about the people that he'd meet and deal with.
There are only so many times you can hear the line "Why would I buy this, I must be crazy" then followed moments later with "I know a guy who is looking for something just like this". That is the plot of every episode.

As a TV SERIES Creator of "24 HOUR RENTAL, I'm totally impressed that THE LIQUIDATOR is Canadian. What an amazing series and JEFF kills it in every episode !😁👍🏻
JEFF definitely needs to have his very own Dramatic series. I may even have a character for him 😛👍🏻

Too bad, I loved this show in the beginning and would have given the first seasons a perfect score.
The show crashed on season 4 and became vulgar, demeaning to women and so fake with bad "catastrophy" acting.
If you want to enjoy The Liquidator, just stop watching after season 3.
Maybe they changed the production team on season 3 but the show was a pile of s?&it like they say so often!
It is really too bad because I was glad to see that it was a Canadian show.
I do not know why they insist on staging up "reality" shows but the people are not actors and it shows. They should stick to what they do best.

I think you are referring to Season 1 Episode 2. Jeff (the Liquidator) and Jose (furniture wholesaler) are in the midst of negotiation. According to the captions and also to my ear, Jose states: "I know this is your business. I understand the nature of your business. Try to be gentle, okay. Don't rip me off." Jeff then states: "I'll come down there right now and if we can do a deal I have a truck, I got a little bit of money, and ..." At which point Jose interjects with "Do you want to bring my pants down already, or you're going to come in a gentle manner?" To which Jeff states "Probably in a gentle manner."
Your insinuation that the producers, or CityTV/OLN as the distributors, condone rape is at the best improper. Based on Jose's comment, clearly he is making reference to the common theme of one person obtaining more than 50% from what seemed a fair deal. While a crude comment (not unexpected from late night reality TV), he continued with the also common theme of consensual sex for favors that may not be all that pleasant for the one who did not get the best deal (getting f'd from behind). Oh my God it's time to over-react!

Stateside Fan From NYC Borough LOVES This Show!

One night approximately 5 months ago and channel surfing Cable TV, bored, with nothing to watch (Curse of being a night owl, sometimes) at 4:30AM Eastern Standard Time on a Friday late at night (Technically pre-dawn, to some) on a local station known as WPIX 11/"The CW" I came across a half-hour program named "The Liquidator", and for some reason I was INSTANTANEOUSLY hooked!
Naturally afterwards I was hoping that I'd see via my Cable TV Guide that "Jeff" and his crew including Warehouse Manager "Ronnie" and Apprentice "Daniel" would be on Monday - Friday at this odd 4:30AM timeslot so I could program my home DVR to "Record Series", however, to my utter dismay WPIX 11/"The CW" only had the singular meager 30 minute slot overnight on Friday's, so had no choice but to settle as is.
The Liquidator beyond being entertaining as you watch just felt like it had a particular "je ne say quois" (I probably BUTCHERED that, sorry, French-Canadians of this app/site! Only know English) of a better quality to it both in how it was filmed and the "cast of characters" in stark comparison and contrast to Season Forever of A&E's "Storage Wars" or TruTV's of yesteryear "Hardcore Core Pawn" (The MOST tightwad, RIP-off family and business from Detroit's 8 Mile I've ever seen during the height of the pawn/storage craze" when every network was wanting a piece) and History Channel's OG long-running "Pawn Stars" (Which I like but lesser so nowadays) all filmed in The United States. Canada simply put just has some damn good television!
Unrelated to Liquidator, specifically, during the beginning of COVID-19 in 2020 - Present other programs that are non-reality TV but procedural dramas like "The Coroner" that The CW continues to air each new season on a delay, "Transplant" being shown on NBC, and "Nurses" also imported from Canada to NBC yet so far disappointingly they haven't followed-thru with showing more than just Season 1, but are all GREAT and produced very well.
