SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) announced today that it has filed a Form 12b-25 (Notification of Late Filing) with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Company intends to file its Form 10-Q within the 5-day extension period afforded by SEC Rule 12b-25.

The Company is continuing to analyze the proper accounting treatment for $785,000 the Company received during the first quarter of 2009 as repayment under a new agreement with a vendor for amounts the Company overpaid to the vendor in 2008 and early 2009.
