Schaardt Auction Service is proud to present our February 2026 Overstock Appliance Auction. This is an online-only auction featuring a large selection of appliances sourced directly from Home Depot. Items include new, return, and scratch-and-dent appliances. Most items are considered scratch-and-dent and may show cosmetic imperfections such as dents, scratches, or minor shipping damage. Bidders are strongly encouraged to review all photos and inspect items prior to bidding.
Featured items include refrigerator/freezer combinations, microwaves, washers and dryers, dishwashers, ice makers, hot water heaters, and more. We do not guarantee any items to be in working condition. If an item description states it has been “turned on,” this only indicates that power was supplied to the unit. No further testing has been performed unless specifically noted. Bid accordingly.
