Mr Fluffy blocks that fail to sell at auction won't be sold for less than what the original home owner was offered, in spite of low clearance rates at the last auction.

Nearly two-thirds of the blocks at the most recent Mr Fluffy auction were passed in.
Most were blocks in the south of Canberra, with most of the blocks up for grabs in Pearce, Kambah, Holder and Fisher failing to attract enough interest to sell.
In contrast, two blocks in Deakin sold for $1.15 million and $1.3 million, another in Turner sold for $1 million and one in O'Connor sold for $865.000.
Two auctions in August had clearance rates of about 41 per cent and 71 per cent.
But a spokeswoman for the ACT's Asbestos Taskforce said it was hard to compare the fluctuating clearance rates because the number of blocks and mix of locations varied.
"Certain mixes of available blocks will result in a higher clearance rate than others," she said.
"Central suburbs with their easy commute to the city, easy access to public transport, access to reserves and large block sizes understandably generate a lot of interest."
Unsold blocks are now available "over the counter" at the reserve price.
That reserve price is what was offered to the original owners and no lower offers will be accepted, the spokeswoman said.
She said sales were "progressing well", with over-the-counter blocks selling "steadily" in the weeks after auctions, but the net cost of the scheme remained at $307 million.
The latest report on the progress of the loose-fill asbestos buyback and demolition scheme, tabled in the ACT Legislative Assembly, showed the acceptance rate of the first right of refusal had risen slightly to 12 per cent.
As of October 25, 530 first-right-of-refusal offers had been made to former Fluffy owners.
Contracts had been exchanged for 38 of those offers while sales had been settled for 34.
But the bulk of Mr Fluffy blocks have been bought by new owners.
Sales had been settled on 387 blocks and 440 contracts has been exchanged.
Only 29 of 1034 affected properties are not a part of the scheme.
One homeowner withdrew from the scheme in the three months to September.
"In this instance the homeowner had originally accepted an offer and subsequently decided not to proceed to exchange and settlement," a spokeswoman said.
"Homeowners may choose to pursue other options at any time eg. to sell or demolish privately."
The taskforce wrote to homeowners who were not part of the scheme in July to offer them the same terms as they had in 2014.
It's not clear if anyone accepted the renewed offer but the "offered remained open", the report said.
The report showed the demolition-side of the scheme was starting to wind down.
As of October 25, 867 of the 1023 Fluffy homes had been demolished.
Of those, 848 were knocked down through the ACT government's program, 12 through assisted private demolition and seven privately.
The last big demolition package was awarded in the past quarter and any homes sold of surrender during the rest of the year will be divided between current contractors.
Homeowners with deferred settlement dates have been told the scale-back of the demolition program would mean the time between when they surrendered their property and when it was demolished would be longer after 2017.
People were invited to bring forward their surrender date into 2017 in order to have their home demolished early next year.
The ACT government spent $2.3 million on Fluffy blocks for new public housing the report also showed.
The five blocks were in Latham, Giralang, Fraser, Flynn and Rivett and were chosen "because of their development potential, cost-effectiveness and with consideration to priority public housing demand in the area", a spokeswoman said.
"The five blocks were purchased at market value after the former owners decided not to accept the land as first right holders," she said.
