Overstock.com: Worldstock

Overstock.com, save up to 80% every day! Woohoo!
No, but seriously, I read this article about Amazon.com being sad in Q3 and Q4, and it mentioned that online shoppers might be going to places like Overstock.com (which is pretty much on online outlet.
The interesting and bloggable part of this is that they have a thing called Worldstock, which is a section selling "handcrafted goods from around the world"(TM). You can shop by country, including Ghana, Brazil, China, Tibet, and Nepal, to name a few, or you can shop by category (jewelry, rugs, home decor, etc.). They have some really neat looking things, like Cool Chinese Caligraphy, Chinese Jade Fish, and Rattan Head Pillow from Thailand. (It looks uncomfortable, but I think its similar to what the japanese used while sleeping on their mats on the floor. I'm fascinated by this, and always wanted to try it..)

Eh. Not so big on Overstock.com, I always find stuff cheaper on ebay. But they're a good store-type setup, especailly for the ebay-impaired. ^_^
