ITEM 2:   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On November 19, 1999, Onsale, Inc., a Delaware corporation, completed its
merger with Egghead.com, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Egghead/WA").  In
connection with the transaction, Onsale changed its name to "Egghead.com, Inc."
("New Egghead").  New Egghead is a leading Internet retailer of new and surplus
computer products, consumer electronics, sporting goods and vacation packages.
Through its auction site - www.onsale.com - New Egghead sells excess and
closeout goods and services.

     The transaction was accomplished by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of
Onsale into Egghead/WA.  Egghead/WA survived the merger, was renamed EO
Corporation and became and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Egghead. New Egghead
intends to account for the transaction as a pooling of interests, and the merger
is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization.

     S. Jerrold Kaplan, formerly the President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of Onsale, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of New Egghead
and George Orban, formerly the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
Egghead/WA, is the Chairman of New Egghead. New Egghead's board of directors
consists of four directors from Onsale (S. Jerrold Kaplan, Alan S. Fisher, Peter
L. Harris and Kenneth J. Orton) and three other directors from Egghead/WA (C.
Scott Gibson, Robert T. Wall and Karen White) in addition to George Orban. Peter
H. Jackson resigned as a director of Onsale effective upon the closing of the
merger. A ninth director will be named at a later time.

     In the merger, New Egghead issued approximately 17.4 million shares of its
common stock, and converted outstanding options and purchase rights to acquire
Egghead/WA common stock into options and purchase rights to acquire
approximately 1.4 million shares of New Egghead common stock. On November 30,
1999, New Egghead filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to register the shares of New Egghead common stock to be
issued pursuant to the exercise of these options and purchase rights.

 ONSALE AND EGGHEAD MERGER CREATES A LEADER IN ONLINE RETAILING OF TECHNOLOGY
                                   PRODUCTS

            -Integrated Web Site Ready For Holiday Shopping Season-

MENLO PARK, CA, November 22, 1999 - Onsale, Inc. and Egghead.com, Inc. today
announced the completion of the merger between the companies. Egghead.com, the
name of the combined companies, is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, with
operations in Vancouver, Washington.

"With the approval of the Egghead stockholders last Friday, we are now executing
on our integration plans," said Jerry Kaplan, Egghead.com's CEO. "The first
major task was to bring our web sites together, to make sure that customers from
both companies had an easy-to-use, robust shopping site where they could
continue to use their existing accounts and passwords.

"I'm pleased to announce that as of this morning, we are ready and open for
business for the holiday season. Our new unified web site brings together the
best of Egghead.com and Onsale, with an expanded selection of new and surplus
merchandise, great prices, improved product information, and a special `free
shipping' promotion to kick things off.

"Teams from both companies worked through the weekend to make the integration
happen at `Internet speed'. The next task is to integrate our advertising and
promotional messages, which should be completed shortly. I expect that this
exemplary teamwork, commitment, and fast execution will be the hallmark of our
new company going forward."

Egghead.com will trade under the EGGS symbol on the Nasdaq stock exchange. On
Monday, November 22nd, Egghead.com will trade under the ONSL symbol because of
the time and logistics needed to change the symbol. On the following day,
Egghead.com will be traded under the EGGSD symbol for ten trading days. After
ten days, Egghead.com will be traded under the EGGS symbol.

Egghead.com shareholders receive 0.565 shares of Onsale common stock in exchange
for each share of Egghead common stock. Egghead.com shareholders will be sent
instructions on how to exchange Egghead stock certificates for Onsale stock
certificates. Stock certificates currently held by Onsale shareholders will
automatically represent stock ownership of the combined company.
