"What isOverstock?"
Quote:Honored Client,
Hello. My name is Patrick Byrne and I work at Overstock.com.
Overstock is best explained through a story. I went to high school near Washington, DC. There I had a friend named, Charlie (a.k.a. Chalooka). Whatever I or other friends were considering buying, be it electronics, car parts, a jacket, etc., Charlie would always say, I have a friend in the business, or, I know a guy at the warehouse, Ill get you a special deal on it.
We had our suspicions about Charlie, but learned in time that he really did have friends in the business. Whatever business...

Quote:... the short version is, we are trying to double or triple the income of less fortunate people around the world, while offering you exotic products at a fraction of the price at which you would find them in expensive boutiques.
