The Valley Overstock — Local services in Blacksburg

This is not a normal bin store! The owners seem friendly! Nice people from my interactions with them and I know they are working hard. This review is solely on business model they are running. My perspective of overstock places usually are large bins of items that are not really sorted. These items however are heavily sorted and individually priced they sort the items and on the most expensive day set out the “premium” on Saturday. Anything left over from Saturday goes to Sunday and the price drops. However, the items they set out on Sunday are cheaper items at lesser value. They keep decreasing the quality of the items. So by Wednesday day. All that’s left are either items cheaper the. 2 dollars or items no one wanted to begin with. But if people are buying it I guess that it’s their money 🤷‍♂️. I wouldn’t really call this an overstock or bin store or...

I didn’t even get in the store! There were people working in there and I just wanted to look through the windows to see what they had as I drove for Salem to check it out! Someone working in there pushed the door open before I got to it and rudely informed me that they were closed and they would open at 9 in the morning!! I was trying to reply that I saw that but wanted to look in windows and see if there was anything I might want to come back for. He very rudely informed me that I could come at 9 in the morning to do that! He was very arrogant and as I was leaving there were people getting out of their vehicle and I told them what he had said to me, they also heard him! I wouldn’t go back there and support someone like that if they were giving their stuff...

Never trust the retail price that’s given. Always look it up for yourself. They will always find the highest retail price and list that. For instance… it’s a Sam’s item that’s $219 retail but he will list the Walmart price of $299 then ask $150. The store is starting to come across as dishonest to make you think you’re getting a better deal than you are. In the beginning he took pride in pricing things at least half off but now it’s inching closer and closer to full retail and at that point I’d rather pay full retail with the option to return. Spare me the lengthy passive aggressive response as I’ve been a loyal customer since the beginning but this is my opinion of the store now and what I’ve seen with my own eyes...
