Has anyone signed up with "overstocked.com?" What was your

[mistertrickster]

experience?

I don't want to get hooked up with some AMWAY kind of cult group. Do you actually save any money?

12. I thought that BuyBlue listed them as a blue company.

:shrug:

[shanti]

13. i'm pretty sure

that i read here on du that they were a red company, but i'd feel better if they were blue! of course, i could be wrong;-)

4. I've been shopping there for a couple of years.

I've gotten some pretty good deals, and the most their shipping is, is $3.95. The run specials all the time for $2.95, $1.00 and somethins Free shipping.

Like with any other place you shop, you have to be aware of what you're looking at, and it's real value. Many of the things on Overstock are discontinued models, or factory refurbished items. I have many factory refurbished items and I've had absolutely NO problems at all!

The other part of Overstock I signed up for is Overstock Auctions. about 5 months ago, my over the stove microwave with built in fan (hood) croaked, and I was looking for a new one. I found a GE Advantium on the Overstock auctions listed for $99.00. I did a lot of research, and this MicroHood that has 3 cook types, Microwave, SpeedCook, and Halogen Bake, sells for $798.00!!!! I sent several differnt emails to the seller. The unit was never used, but had been a display model somewhere. I contacted GE and they said no matter where I bought it, if it had never been registered, it would have the full new unit warranty of 2 years! Well, I bid the $99.00 and I WON it! I must admit, I was a bit nervous because of the "if it sounds to ggod to be true" phylosophy, but when the unit was delivered, it was in fact brand new, in the original box, with all the paper work there too. I use it every day, and couldn't be happier.

All I can tell you is always double check at some other sites to be sure of the value of what you find on Overstock. They seem great to me!

6. I hate their commercials

[napi21]

7. I don't like their commercials either, but then....

the only commercials I really like are the beer commercials. They always seem to have the most entertaining of all!

[WCGreen]

8. The commercials are so sexual it's like watching a porno

[Lilyhoney]

16. I hate the commercials.

And I thnk they are red.

[WCGreen]

18. Yea, they sold one of the Swift Boat Books Exclusively

[Lilyhoney]

22. I think it was the same with Farenhype 911. (nt)

[WCGreen]

24. Yea, I remember that as well......

So shop there, get your cheap products and subsidize another right wing millionare.....

[Lilyhoney]

25. Fuck Them! (nt)

[Theres-a]

9. I've bought alot from "Smartbargains"

Haven't had a problem.I like ebay,too.

[Madrone]

10. Ive been an overstock shopper since 2/02

Love it. I've purchased everything from furniture to bedding to dvds to books to *whatever*.

The one time I needed to do a return, they were great.

[shanti]

14. i wanted to buy some furniture thru overstock too

they DELIVER (!) large items, which is great for me.

[Tallison]

15. Love the John Prine sig

"Speed of the Sound of Lonliness" lyrics are my favorite ever.

[gollygee]

11. I bought something from there once

didn't have any problems and didn't have any kind of cult experience for sure.

[tallahasseedem]

17. They are definitely red....

They were the ones that exclusively carried that movie made by repukes in response to Fahrenheit 9/11, Celsius something or another.

[I Have A Dream]

19. They are listed on buyblue.org as 93% blue.

I got something from the once, and I didn't have any problems.

[lizzieforkerry]

20. I boycott them because during the election they only advertised for

Farenhype 911, never Farenheit 911, even though they sell both.

[I Have A Dream]

21. Thanks for letting us know.

YOu'd think that all of these companies would realize that they're going to lose blue money by acting this way.

I think that liberals are more willing to boycott companies than conservatives because a lot of conservatives aren't willing to pay more on principle. (Social conservatives are the exception, I think. They see more willing to boycott.) I don't want to pay more either, but I will if a company p*sses me off enough. What you're describing might just do it for me for overstock.com. (Regardless of their high blue rating.)

[barackmyworld]

23. it's got good prices

I got a very reasonably-priced memory foam mattress topper.

[driver8]

26. We bought some kitchen chairs from them -- no problems at all.

I would buy from them again.

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

27. Bought a hammock for a really good price,

shipping was a dollar. Delivered, everything as expected. Loved the company. They pushed Fahenhype 9/11. Emailed them to ask what was up. They sent me a nasty response, checked off the box saying 'take me off your list' & won't have anything more to do with them.
