Would you believe that they actually sent me a Christmas Card. It is clear that they have people that care, just computer programmers that have their collective heads up their rear end.
Here is what the card says,
"At this holiday season, our thoughts run gratefully to those who have made our progress possible. It is in this spirit we say.....
Thank you and the best wishes for the holidays and a happy new year."

Stone, at least its a genuine sentiment from their perspective. They're saying thanks for your business - whats wrong with that?

Not sure what you read, but that is the same thing that I said. Their people are great, just their programmers are stupid.

oh! lol. I guess I did misread your sentiments! I thought you had a missing word or typo in the 1st paragraph and meant the programmers who wrote that were stupid or cloyish.

Their programmers and analysts have a tight deadline to bring up this auction feature before xmas.

I got that card too! It is also a very nice quality card. The other good thing is that they are having a FREE LISTING DAY tomorrow, Wednesday 15th. I did so well on the last one, can't believe they're having another one so soon.

I have a question! I know that ebay items often appear when I google for something. Are Overstock items also popping up on google?

> Are Overstock items also popping up on google?
google has about 136,000 pages indexed from Overstock. Seller's items, forums, feedback pages, catagories, etc. But I don't think google is indexing the individual auction items.
For google searches, Items will show up on the Seller's Items pages and the Catagory pages.

Did you happen to take a look at their auction totals. The numbers are as low as they were the first day they opened auctions. I think the sellers are telling them something with the lack of listings.
