Overstock's sales are down because their prices and selection aren't as good as they used to be. And a 12% drop in the stock price in a relatively short period of time is pretty significant.Byrne is a bit of an odd bird. And, to tie together the "sexy, creepy" commercials in this thread, I heard Byrne (interview on NPR's Motley Fool Radio Show) admit that he was having an affair with her. He may be lying, but it would explain why she is still around.

Overstock is the worst place to buy anything, it makes the scammers at ebay look like puppies. NEVER buy from them. I'd go into my horror story with them but it's too boring. Sum it up: I ordered something, got the wrong size and color and after chasing them with phone calls and emails, I ended up eating the purchase.

I don't like their commercials either. The 'Put on your O face.' one is lame.Will never buy there because they have such annoying commercials. The jingle bells one too.

I tried blaming Mark Cuban when the cops found a drugged up dead hooker in my trunk. They were familiar with his pranks so they let me go.

My mother had Schizophrenia and I recognized the symptoms immediately upon reading that article. I think it's very sad and I hope he can get help. I'm surprised he has made it so far in business with such a difficult mental illness.
