<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>JASON LINDSEY STEPS DOWN<BR>  <BR>    AS OVERSTOCK.COM'S PRESIDENT AND CFO    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>SALT LAKE CITY, Utah&#151;August&nbsp;21, 2003&#151;</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>Overstock.com&reg; (Nasdaq: OSTK)
today announced that Jason Lindsey has resigned as president and CFO due to personal reasons. Lindsey will remain with Overstock.com in a limited role. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Patrick
Byrne, the company's chairman and CEO, will reassume the role of president. David Chidester, Overstock.com's controller, will serve as acting CFO. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I
thank Jason for his extraordinary leadership and service to Overstock.com and its customers, employees, and shareholders," said Byrne. "I more than anyone know the debt
Overstock.com's
shareholders owe Jason for his enormous contribution to the business. I could not have asked for a better partner these last four years." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lindsey
has served as Overstock.com's CFO since the company was launched in 1999, and he was named president in April&nbsp;2003. He played an integral role in Overstock.com's
successful initial public offering in May&nbsp;2002 and follow-on offering in February&nbsp;2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I've
decided to step down as president and CFO so I can devote more time to tend to a family health issue," said Lindsey. "While I won't be as involved in the
day-to-day management of the company, I will continue to advise Patrick regarding Overstock.com's business. In addition, I have worked side-by-side with
Dave over the last four years and have confidence in his abilities to serve as the company's acting CFO." </FONT></P>
