Even though Overstock has some great prices I have to say that I prefer Ebay. Mostly due to the fact that Overstock only ships within the US. If they changed their shipping policy and shipped worldwide I would definitley shop there more.

I like eBay better. Sometimes you can get some really great stuff for a great price! Overstock is ok, but I think you end up spending more. http://stores.ebay.com/Pecksgrl-Gifts-and-Goodies

Depends on what you are buying. My parents bought a brand new vaccuum cleaner from Overstock and they were happy with their purchase. Personally, I've only used eBay as of yet.

Yeah, I agree. I think with all purchases you need to research to find the best price.

I would have to say ebay, I saw on there regularly. But the listing fees are getting a little out of hand. It is hard for the little guys that want to make a profit selling on there.

I have only shopped at ebay so far I haven't had a chance to check out the overstock.com but I have seen it on television commericals. It wouldn't hurt to go look around both places compare prices and just choose the best deal. I am sure both places are great and both have their upsides and downsides of business. I have gotten some great deals on ebay though I have purchased tings for only a one cent and then the shipping charges so the deals are out there you just have to take the time to look for them.

i have never used overstocked.com but i think that popularity could suffice as a gauge to determine the answer you are searching for.

I like ebay. More of a chance to make money for yourself and they have more a of a variety of stuff because there are more people that use it.

I always comparison shop and I almost always wind up buying it on eBay...whatever it is. The only times I don't are when I can't find it on eBay or the person selling it has recent negative feedback. The feedback part is one of the things I really like about eBay.

I have never shopped at overstock.com but I have looked at their site and they look pretty good. I have bought a lot from eBay though, including two things in the last two weeks. I've been shopping with eBay for the past 7 years, and I've gotten all kinds of great stuff from them.
