Where can I get information on odd lots available on the market; that is, counter, numbers and asking price?

Place an order to buy or sell from/to someone facing the same challenge. See if your broker could enter youin their database for that.

I struggled with some odd lots of KPLC that took a whole week to sell despite the fact that I asked the broker to sell at market rate.

I'm trying to avoid them going forward, I suppose my poor investor knowledge in the past let them happen, I would have followed company offers and either bought more or reduced my holdings on a pro-rata basis to avoid the odd shares.

I have some 31 shares of HFCK and 96 shares of KCB. How do I buy more to reach 100 for both?

Place a Buy order and select it as Odd market order. Ensure the quantity is a value btw 1-99.

I was using online platform(sbg securities)

I have had them for many years, and I have never known what to do with them. They have been from bonus shares,,,
