Overstock Discusses Future Plans for 2005 and 2006 Including Stores
10/6 from Holly's blog:
http://forums.auctions.overstock.com/holly.php Quote:I have decided that we should spend the rest of the year fixing and doing small enhancements to the current site features so that as we begin 2006 we have a solid framework from which to grow. This "screwing in the lightbulbs," as I call it, includes a lot of functionality for marketing and fixing some user-facing things as well. New functionality still slated for this year will include bid cancelation and retraction and a new much-improved version of O-lister.

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site. best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011 |

bid cancelation
 no plans to create fixed price items = same listing price for stores.

bid cancelation no plans to create fixed price items = same listing price for stores. [/quote] Agreed on both. Overstock's planned stores sound a lot like eBid's stores...but eBid is free. The sell through rate on Overstock doesn't justify stocking up a store with inventory unless sales improve or they drastically reduce listing fees. If Overstock would switch permanently to the No listing fee/5% FVF its been offering in promos then I would happily upload a bunch of inventory.
