Our History
In the spring of 1999, Dr. Patrick M. Byrne recognized the potential in liquidating excess inventory through the Internet. Up until then, bargain-seeking consumers had relied upon far-off outlet centers with crowds and limited product selections, and small retailers found little access into the world of closeout merchandise. Meanwhile, adoption of online shopping was skyrocketing. Six months later and with no outside funding, Overstock.com was launched with the mission of being the premier company selling excess inventory through the Internet. Founded on the principles of value, investing, and fair dealing, Overstock.com has quickly become the online leader in a market valued at $60 billion in the United States. Overstock.com's GAAP revenue has grown from $1.8 million in 1999 to nearly $1.1 billion in 2010. The number of products Overstock.com offers has grown from less than 100 in 1999 to more than 63,000 non-BMMG (Books, Music, Movies and Games) products and over 720,000 BMMG products. Overstock.com calculates that, since launching in October 1999, our customers have saved millions of dollars off the manufacturers' recommended retail prices.
In January 2011, Overstock.com acquired the O.co URL and slowly began incorporating it into parts of its brand. In June 2011, the O.co Coliseum was unveiled in Oakland, California and Overstock.com became 'Overstock.com, shortcut O.co'. Overstock.com CEO Dr. Patrick M. Byrne has said, "When we first started our business in 1999, we only sold surplus inventory, yet we are now no longer just an online liquidator. Our current offerings span from furniture and home decor to cars, travel and insurance. We want an identity that more accurately reflects our company as it has evolved: Hence 'O.co'. Our customers have long associated 'O' with O.co, which is making the transition to O.co seamless. O.co still carries all of the same products, has award winning customer service, has the same $2.95 or lower national shipping and customized shopping features. Globally, we are synonymous with the 'O,' making this a natural transition of our brand to a universally understandable and relevant domain. We now have a shorter name, but we still have the same big savings.
Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne
