Buy.Com-How Long Will They Exist?
Buy.Com is a partner with miles earning sites, but their stock has plummeted in recent months.
Is it safe to buy from Buy?

I've made numerous purchses from them over the past two years...all without incident, and all product delivered within two days of purchase.
Also, their generous promotion offers have made purchasing products from them quite an easy decision.

Always had real good luck. Decent prices/specials, quick delivery. If you stop making online purchases solely on the basis of the dot-com's recent stock price history, you had better just head for the mall.

I agree with CactusPete's shopping assessment 
I'll also add that I, too, have always been satisfied with orders placed at buy.com and would not hestitate to place one at this point in time...

I would continue to use them. Make sure you pay with a credit (not a debit) card and make sure you only buy things you know you won't want to return and all should be fine even if they go under.

I recently bought a $99 hard drive (plus a $1.87 binder to push it over $100) from officedepot.com with a $30 off $100 purchase online coupon, plus a $30 off mail-in rebate.
Buy.com doesn't seem to do anything that good (ie. stupid) these days, so I haven't bought from them for some time.
