Now I know where all that dying dot com inventory has been going, thanks to a ZDNet article. Miadora and Adornis, two unsuccessful jewelry sites, had their inventories snapped up by Overstock.com. Beautiful platinum and gold baubles are now being hawked for less than Miadora paid for them wholesale (if you believe their claims; the prices are still pretty hefty). E-luxury retailer Ashford.com, still in business, was given a chance to buy Miadora’s inventory, but they passed, claiming it was last season’s news and wouldn’t sell. I just gotta wonder if they didn’t have the budget for it. Overstock.com also purchases the pretty digital photos and lyrical descriptions to go along with the items, so they save time and overhead.
