Overstock Loses Its Fucking Mind: Requires 'Make It Mine' Price to be 2X Opening Bid

[amy]

2 years later...Overstock comes to its senses and reverses its ridiculous 'Make it Mine price must be 1.5X opening bid' policy. 

Make It Mine Policy Change
posted at 11/3/2008

Overstock Auctions is pleased to announce that the policy on Make It Mine sales has changed! Previously a Seller would have to increase the MIM price 1.5 times greater than the starting auction price. Now the requirement will only need to be .01 cent greater than the starting auction price. This feature is now live.

Our FAQ has been updated here and here with this information.

We hope that this change is helpful in you managing your business.

Best regards,

Doug Minnick
