bonus pool tied to the performance of Ski West, and that the Founders, in their
sole discretion, will have the right to allocate the bonus pool among

delivered by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as soon as
reasonable possible after (but no later than 20 days from) the date of receipt
by the indemnifying party of notice by the indemnified party of the assertion
of the Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of
the indemnifying party or the indemnified party as may be appropriate. Such
contest shall be conducted by reputable counsel employed by the indemnifying
party, but the indemnified party shall have the right but not the obligation to
participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own
choosing at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall have full
authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto; provided,
however, that the indemnifying party will not have the authority to subject the
indemnified party to any obligation whatsoever, other than the performance of
purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense. If the
indemnifying party does not elect to contest any such Claim, the indemnifying
party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the
indemnified party. At any time after the commencement of the defense of any
Claim, the indemnifying party may request the indemnified party to agree in
writing to the abandonment of such contest or to the payment or compromise by
the indemnified party of the asserted Claim, whereupon such action shall be
taken unless the indemnified party determines that the contest should be
continued, and so notifies the indemnifying party in writing within 15 days of
such request from the indemnifying party. If the indemnified party determines
that the contest should be continued, the indemnifying party shall be liable
hereunder only to the extent of the amount that the other party to the
contested Claim had agreed unconditionally to accept in payment or compromise
as of the time the indemnifying party made its request therefor to the
indemnified party.</p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">SALT LAKE CITY (June 24, 2005) &#151; Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK;
www.overstock.com) today announced that it is acquiring 100% of Park City, Utah
based Ski West, Inc., for $25 million in cash plus an earn out based on future
performance.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Launched in 2001, privately-held Ski West is a rapidly
growing, profitable on-line travel company whose proprietary technology provides
easy consumer access to a large, fragmented, hard-to-find inventory of lodging,
vacation, cruise and transportation bargains. The travel offerings are primarily
in popular ski areas in the U.S. and Canada, with more recent expansion into the
Caribbean and Mexico, as well as cruises.&#160;
The acquisition enables Overstock to offer its customers these hard to
find and exclusive travel deals through the Internet, consistent with its core
shopping business.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The acquisition is expected to close July 1,
2005.&#160; For the time being, Ski West will
operate as a subsidiary of Overstock.com, and Overstock.com plans to retain Ski
West&#146;s employees.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Thus we continue our strategy of making Overstock the
