Value America was an Albemarle County based internet retailer formed in 1996 in Nevada. In February 1998, it relocated to Albemarle County, with offices on Commonwealth Drive. The firm was the brain-child of Craig Winn. The website sold the products of over 300 companies. [1] The company spent millions in advertising to attract customers.
The company had an initial price offering in April 1999. [2]
Value America filed to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on August 11, 2000. The company's life was charted in the 2003 book dot.bomb: My Days and Nights at an Internet Goliath by its Senior Vice-President David Kuo.
