Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 23, 2007 Mr. John A. Fisher resigned, effective immediately, as a member of the Board of Directors of Overstock.com, Inc. (the “Company”).  Mr. Fisher had been a member of the Audit Committee and of the Compensation Committee.  The Company believes that the reason for Mr. Fisher’s resignation was his disagreement with the Company’s pursuit of litigation it has filed in California against several prominent prime brokerage firms.

Item 8.01               Other Events

As a result of Mr. Fisher’s resignation, the Company does not have a majority of independent directors on its Board.  The Company and the remaining members of the Board intend to take prompt action to cause a majority of the members of the Board to be independent within the meaning of applicable standards.

Item 9.01                                             Financial Statements and Exhibits

(d)           Exhibits.                99.1         Letter from Mr. John A. Fisher dated February 23, 2007

Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K include statements that are “forward-looking statements.” There are risks that the Company faces that could cause actual results to be materially different from those that may be set forth in forward-looking statements made by the Company. There also may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that it currently believes are immaterial which could also impair its business and results of operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding factors that could materially affect results and the accuracy of the forward-looking statements contained herein may be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
