We all know how great our DealTaker members are at finding bargains online, but wouldn't it be nice to pick a product and have the store lower the price FOR YOU, and the rest of DealTaker!. We've had a generous offer from Overstock.com to help us get the best prices on the items our members want!. We've had some decent deals from Overstock.com the past year, but now it's time to make some great deals with the help of the Overstock.com folks!

Basically it works like this. If there is a particular product that you see at Overstock.com but think that the price is just a little too high, or you think others would benefit if the price were a few dollars less post the catalog # (SKU#)in this thread. The Overstock.com folks will look at it, and chances are good that the next time you check this thread, the item will be listed with a special price for DealTaker members!

There are a few exclusions: books, movies, cd's, dvd's, etc.

So go ahead and post SKU's, Product names, or links to the products you want to see on-sale at Overstock, and lets put them to work for us!

Go to --> Overstock.com

Also be sure to check out the Overstock Coupons

Fine Print Details from the folks at Overstock.com:
Basically, the way this will work is you give me the catlog number (or SKU#) of the item you would like to see a discount on. Each day, I will look at every request to see what kind of a discount I can do and then post links for them when I am done. I sometimes miss requests if you do not include the catalog number, so be sure to include it if you can.

Also, it is important to know that I will not always be able to grant requests. Items from Jewelry, Bedding & Bath, and Apparel are more likely to be discounted over Computers & Electronics. However, I will always do my best to get you a good deal!

Intel D845PESV ATX Motherboard

or this one, Intel D865PERC P4 Motherboard

If a compatible CPU is available for it and maybe 512MB of RAM, a package deal would really be a plus.

Greetings everyone! Looks like a good turnout for the first day and some good requests as well.

Basically, the way this will work is you give me the catlog number (or SKU#) of the item you would like to see a discount on. Each day, I will look at every request to see what kind of a discount I can do and then post links for them when I am done. I sometimes miss requests if you do not include the catalog number, so be sure to include it if you can.

Also, it is important to know that I will not always be able to grant requests. Items from Jewelry, Bedding & Bath, and Apparel are more likely to be discounted over Computers & Electronics. However, I will always do my best to get you a good deal!

So here are the deals I am able to grant so far. These expire on 02/07:

$15 off Logitech Z-5300 THX 5.1 Channel Speakers

$10 off Intel D865PERC P4 Motherboard

$7 off Stainless Steel Pro Mandoline/Vegetable Slicer

The motion detector trash can. My husband would kill me if I spent $100, but I think it's so cool! A better price would be great!

I must say, this totally rocks. I've never been a huge fan of Overstock, but this may just convince me. Great idea! Way to go!

Thanks so much for the great mandoline deal!!

My family is now drooling over the memory foam bed toppers...

These are the two items we're looking at:

Catalog #: 954089 - 2-inch topper

Catalog #: 958799 - 3-inch topper

Can you work your deal magic on these? Then I can work the deal on my husband - LOL!

Thanks so much!!

Hi,
I'm just wondering if you had a chance to look at the prices on the 2 mattress toppers I was interested in. I would love a deal if you can swing it!
Thanks so much for doing this - it's very cool!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I have not forgotten about you. We had a power outage on Friday that killed my computer (power supply, graphics card, etc.). That is the bad news. The good news is that I get a new computer!!

For now, I am working from home (and very sick today). I won't be able to post deals until I return to the office (should be tomorrow). In the meantime, keep requesting deals and I will take care of them soon. yes.gif
