We just got word of a huge sale over at Overstock.com from September 18-21. Get 15% off anything you order! They call it their O-Day Sale, but we just call it awesome. Overstock has some pretty good prices already, but taking another 15% is where the real deal is at.

How much of a discount is 15% really? Good question. Let’s do some math. Let’s say you are a Star Wars fan and you want to purchase the newly released Star Wars Trilogy Limited Edition DVDs that contain both the original theatrical release (where Han shot first and Jabba is a human) and the digitally enhanced special edition (where the special effects are improved and the colors “pop”). The list price on these are $29.98 each DVD, so if you bought the trilogy it would cost you roughly $89.94 before shipping and taxes. Now let’s take into account Overstock.com’s already 40% off everyday price of $17.81 each. That brings it down to $53.43 for the set. Now let’s subtract the additional 15% off during the O-Day sale (valid 9/18/06 – 9/21/06). 15% of $53.43 is $8.01 so our new total is $45.42! That works out to be only $15.14 for each Limited Edition DVD! I think any Star Wars nerd would appreciate that low price for something they’ll undoubtedly watch over and over again.

Well what about shipping and taxes? Well depending on where you live determines whether you pay taxes or not, and if you are within the continental U.S. it looks like shipping is only $2.95.

Overstock sells things in just about every category you can think of like DVDs, sunglasses, cell phones, digital cameras, printers, bedding, rugs, sinks, craft supplies, shavers, dental care, trumpets, guitars, jewelry, furniture and more. So figure out what it is you want a mad discount on and get it at 15% off the already discounted price during the O-Day Sale starting 9/18/06 at 12:01pm and ending on 9/21/06 at 11:59pm.
