SmartBargains

SmartBargains was an online closeout and overstock retailer offering deeply discounted merchandise across home furnishings, bedding, apparel, and accessories at prices substantially below retail. The site operated in the online off-price retail space, acquiring surplus and closeout merchandise from manufacturers and retailers and selling it to consumers at significant markdowns from original retail pricing.

The off-price online model that SmartBargains pioneered has since been adopted and refined by competitors including Overstock, Wayfair's extensive sale sections, and the TJX Companies' online retail arms (Sierra, HomeGoods). SmartBargains operated in this space before online off-price retail became a dominant e-commerce category, establishing the pattern of leveraging internet reach to move surplus merchandise efficiently.

SmartBargains is no longer operating. Consumers seeking similar deeply discounted home goods and apparel should explore Overstock (now Beyond), Sierra (formerly Sierra Trading Post), and Wayfair's Closeout section for comparable off-price merchandise discovery and pricing in the current online marketplace.
