AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO
STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D

        This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Patrick M. Byrne, John B. Pettway, High Plains Investments LLC and Haverford Valley L.C. dated November 14, 2002, as amended to date (the "Original 13D") relating to shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Shares") of Overstock.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at 6322 South 3000 East, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original 13D.


Item 2. Identity and Background

        Item 2 of the Original 13D is supplemented as follows:

        The names of the persons filing this Amendment are Patrick M. Byrne ("Dr. Byrne") and John B. Pettway ("Mr. Pettway"). Dr. Byrne is the President and Chairman of the Board of the Issuer.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

        Item 3 of the Original 13D is supplemented as follows:

        On February 17, 2004 Dr. Byrne purchased 620,000 Shares in open market transactions on the Nasdaq National Market System with his personal funds.


Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

        Item 4 of the Original 13D is supplemented as follows:

        Dr. Byrne holds the Shares acquired as reported in this Amendment for the purpose of investment. Dr. Byrne may purchase additional shares.

        As the Issuer has previously announced, the Issuer is considering filing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a shelf offering of its common stock. The press release issued by the Issuer stated that the Issuer anticipates that the shelf registration statement will register up to 2.5 million shares and that there will be no selling stockholders.

        Dr. Byrne anticipates that the Board of Directors of the Issuer may fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors by appointing to the Board John J. Byrne, Jr., the father of Dr. Byrne and a former member of the Board of Directors.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

        Item 5 of the Original 13D is supplemented as follows:

        As set forth herein, Dr. Byrne beneficially owns 6,767,861 Shares, which represent 40.6% of the outstanding Shares, based upon the number of Shares outstanding as of the most recent practicable date, and calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3. Dr. Byrne shares voting and dispositive power over 5,707,261 Shares with High Plains Investments LLC and Haverford Valley L.C., and shares voting and dispositive power over 201,693 Shares with High Plains Investments LLC, Haverford Valley L.C. and High Meadows Finance L.C. Dr. Byrne disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held by High Plains Investments LLC, High Meadows Finance L.C. and all other persons except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in each entity, respectively. Dr. Byrne has sole voting and dispositive power over 1,060,600 Shares, including 106,000 Shares subject to unexercised options.

        Mr. Pettway ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Shares on January 1, 2003.

        No transactions in the Shares were effected by Dr. Byrne in the last sixty days except that Dr. Byrne acquired beneficial ownership of 620,000 of the Shares described herein in open market purchases on the Nasdaq National Market System as described on Exhibit A to this Amendment.
