overstock.com any good?

[Semidevil]

I just bumped into the overstock.com website, and browsing through their items, almost all their items are over 50% off.

Now, anyone have any experience w/ them?? are they good? Should I be worried w/ such the deep discounts??

they are legit...but their stated regular prices are sometimes inflated

They took forever to ship my Harry Potter books.

I remember a thread in Hot Deals about them selling one audio receiver with no warranty (grey market), so read carefully to find what warranty, if any, you're going to get.

Ouch. I guess I've gotten lucky the half-dozen or so times I've dealt with them. Not the fastest at shipping, but they occassionaly have good deals.

I got burned by them awhile ago from a necklace I bought, but they gave me the credit back, and than also gave me what I paid on top of that. and to top that off I got another credit in the same amt again....all my purchases since the necklace though have been just fine. Actually pleasently surprised with their CS.

Overstock is a massive operation that deals to a lot of people that don't care abotu leaving ratings at places like resellerratings. Most people only complain if and only if they get burned, not if everything goes well. The silent majority don't leave feedback for overstock.

I've had good experiences with Overstock so far!

If you know where to look, what to buy and what coupons to use - you can score big.

How were the books, Coldcut? I haven't read book 5 yet. Well, I got started on it, but haven't gotten very far on it yet.
