In the Spring of 1999, Dr. Patrick Byrne
recognized the potential of liquidating excess inventory
through the Internet. While there will always be traditional
shoppers walking through retail doors, a significant number
of consumers also desire good quality merchandise, but
abhor the mall experience. That is where Overstock.com
comes in.
The Salt Lake City-based company brought
the outlet mall to the consumer via the Internet, providing
the same brand-name products found in traditional retail
stores at deep discounts.
Overstock.com has established partnerships
with many leading brand-name companies. Due to these relationships,
they are able to buy products at significant discounts,
which then allows them to pass these incredible savings
on to you.
