Before You Bid
Quick heads-up on how TVO auctions work — please read and agree:
- A winning bid is a real purchase. If you win, you buy it — pay your invoice within 24 hours.
- Pay and pick up on time. Miss payment twice and your number is banned from bidding.
- Items are sold as-is (overstock and returns), and by bidding you agree to get texts about your bids and wins. Msg & data rates may apply.
Auction Terms
The Valley Overstock — Auction Terms. Last updated 2026-11-09.
Who can bid
You must be 18 or older and check in with your name and cell number. Your number is how we reach you if you win.
Bidding is binding
Every bid is a real offer to buy. The highest bid when the timer ends wins and owes that amount. Don't bid on something you're not ready to buy.
Bid increments
On auctions that run longer than 2 hours, each bid in the last hour must raise the price by at least $5. On shorter auctions and on live-sale items, each bid must raise the price by at least $1.
Extended bidding
A bid placed in the final moments adds time, so a last-second bid can always be answered. On live-sale items, a bid in the last 30 seconds moves the end to 30 seconds after that bid, up to 5 minutes past the posted end time. On all other auctions, a bid in the last 2 minutes moves the end to 2 minutes after that bid, up to 60 minutes past the posted end time. The auction ends when the timer stops; the highest bid at that moment wins.
Live sales
During a live sale we may close an item before its posted end time. The highest bid at that moment wins.
Payment
Winners get a payment link by text or at the counter. Pay within 24 hours of winning. Unpaid wins are logged.
Two strikes = ban
Two unpaid wins and your number is blocked from bidding until you square up with the store.
Pickup
Won items are picked up at the store — bring your ID or confirmation. If you don't pick up, we'll remind you; after your second missed pickup (or 10 days), we reshelve the item and refund your payment to a store gift card, minus a 15% restocking fee ($5 minimum). Refunds go to a store gift card, never cash.
Condition
Everything is overstock, shelf-pulls, or quality-checked returns, sold as-is. We describe items honestly — check photos and descriptions before bidding.
Returns on auction wins
Auction wins follow the store Returns & Exchanges policy: store credit first, for items that are defective or not as described.
Texts (SMS)
By checking in you agree to receive texts about your bids, wins, and pickup. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out (you may miss win notices).
Privacy
Your phone number is never shown publicly — only a first name and last initial. We use it to run the auction and contact winners.
