Overstock.com now taking deal requests!

Have you ever shopped at a store and found that perfect item, but it was a little too expensive for you? Have you ever wanted to talk to the store owner and say "I think that item is priced a little too high - could I get it for a few dollars cheaper?" Chances are you have and you walked away disappointed, giving up on something you would have enjoyed.

Overstock.com is about to change that!

My name is Adam Russo, and I am a marketing manager here at Overstock.com. I want to make this thread a staple here at Deal Hunting, and truly give you, our customers, exactly what you want. Simply post to this forum and provide the Catalog # of the item you are looking at with the price you would like to purchase it at, and I will attempt to give you the deal you requested!

I would like to start doing this forum once a week, filling requests on Tuesdays to start, so for those of you lucky (and diligent) enough to read today, you may get what you're looking for as soon as tomorrow.

* Please note, this offer does not apply to media items (books, movies, CDs, video games, etc.) I can't promise that I can fulfill every request, but I promise to get you the best available price or fill those requests that I can do on a regular basis. *

Happy posting!

Thank you for the very positive and happy welcome to the forum! I appreciate the kind words, and I hope you not only find this to be a wonderful idea, but hopefully I can get you a deal or two to make the holidays even better!

Hi Mommy!

Congratulations on being the first person who has taken advantage of this great thread. I was able to get you the Rayon Chenille Sweater-Knit Throw at $14.99. This deal is good until Monday, to give you a few days to order (in case you get busy with 3 kids - I have a hard time enough with one!)

Emily Hall Tree Catalog #921089

Hey Adam!

It's great what you are doing. Overstock has been a great site for years and this is just another reason why it's one of the best on the web.

I've been looking at two items at Overstock for a little while. I'd like to get one of these for my wife for Christmas.

One is the Emily Hall Tree catalog #921089.

The other is the Sante Fe Hall Tree catalog #410944.

I think I like the Sante Fe better but money is tight. I'd be intersted in any deals available for either of these. I think I'd buy the Sante Fe if I could get it for around the same $ as the Emily Hall. Like wise if the Emily hall tree came down to about $129.00 i'd be all over it.

I appreciate anything you can do!

Thanks
Eric

Overstock Deal

I am interested in the Sony RM-AV3000 (catalog #951904) which you have listed for $107.00 or so -- I can get it elsewhere for $79.95. Can you beat that deal?? Say, $74.95??? At that price I would buy more than one if that was okay.

Hello All,

Wanted to say a few things before the deals!

Corky1, unfortunately Overstock doesn't get specific items that are for children's bedding. Most of the items we get are sized for twin, which is what most children's bed sizes are. We used to have a "Kids Corner" with specific items, but they didn't sell very well. However, we do get a large quantity of Beds-in-a-Bag which often are perfect fits for children's rooms.

Tobject, I am unfortunately able to drop either of those jewelry items that low. I'm working on less than 5% margins on both of the ones you selected, and a 35% - 50% price drop is not something my buying team will allow me to do. However, please keep looking around for something that I can possibly do a deal on in the near future!

Virtual, your post came in as I was working on some of the deals here. The lowest price I am going to be able to get on the Sony Universal Remote is $92.90. If you'd like me to get you a deal at that price, I will be happy to, but this was still somewhat higher than the price you were looking at.

Xycury, Happy Birthday! Thanks to dawn for pointing that out . I was not quite able to get you at $24.99, but I was able to take the price down to $25.99. I hope this is close enough to what you are looking for!


Micro-Memory Foam Pillow for $25.99

Eric - thank you for your kind words for Overstock, and for your support! I've done a price comparison for you - the Emily Hall I would be able to do for $133.50, but I could take the Santa Fe Hall Tree to $144.99. This is below what you asked for, and one of the very few times I will ever be able to do that, so I'm happy to offer it to you for that lower price!

Santa Fe Hall Tree at $144.99

Keep the posts coming and I will come in on Friday, November 26th to do whatever deals for you I can! Happy Thanksgiving to all, and please be safe this holiday.

Adam

Red face Sharp Aquos LC-32GD4U 32-in

Adam at Overstock, I am a long time overstock customer. I would like to purchase the Sharp LC-32GD4U AQUOS 32-in. Your item number: 1002369 Your price is 2802 with a $200 off $3000 discount I found. However, I can purchase the TV for $2669 from Onsale.com. If you look at StreetPrices.com you can find it for about $2500 with shipping and tax. I'd prefer to buy from you. Can you offer this TV to me for $2600? That would be fantastic!
Thanks
Diane

Smile Super Mario and Best of Cher

Just reread your opening that this does not include media items. Thanks for the service anyway - I am sure to be back!


I am looking at several games - probably will order one or two depending on the price. Could I get any of them for around $25?

Super Mario #3220945 List $30.29
Super Mario Advance 4 #2283703 List $28.99
Yoshi's Island #3124735

Also, The Best of Cher CD #2684036 List $14.59. I have seen this for $9.99 - could I get it for that?

Thanks - this is a cool service!

Daily deal for Overstock?

I know this is a tad bit off topic but I have a suggestion/request. A lot of folks complain that deal.com posts junk on their daily deal which means this is the perfect time for Overstock to jump on on the action!!!

Can you check with management to see if they would do such a thing? Maybe instead of posting obscure stuff you can actually make a daily deal with items we might want or need. I will be the 1st in line

I am interested in a button-tufted brown leather ottoman that you list on your site from time to time. I would buy for between 125-150 if possible. Can you help me out?
