Just a heads up that CowBoom [cowboom.com] is no more and it will now be Best Buy Outlet.

All items on CowBoom's site is OOS. All items are being consolidated to BBO. Currently the sign in system on CowBoom is not working. If you have any issues contact CowBoom directly here [cowboom.com].

Well since its gone. Here's a big change there will be no more daily price fck ups by the staff.

Everyday when inventory was updated there were price mistakes up the ass. Look at my signature for a few.

EVERYDAY laptops consoles tabs everything there were items at 25-40% of there normal cost. They would get swept up by I and some other cow boom elites. But now there is nothing


Goodbye my old friend I've spent thousands on you and never had a problem. You will be missed
Cowboom elite? Gtfo you damn toolbag.

5 cows, and recently bunch of stickers
Yeah, the stickers... Nice gesture but I tossed them. Just seeing the cows now is going to make me depressed.

I have about 2 dozen. Was going to throw some away. But now will definitely keep them.
Yeah, don't throw'em out. If you have too many to keep give them to friends or family. Hell, give them to Goodwill if you have to.

I always wondered how people became elite. I spent over $30k on that site last year and never got any cows. Really sucks that it's over

I loved CowBoom. I'm very sad about this. Killer deals if you were diligent and knew a few tricks. I got a 2006 MacBook back in 2011 for $200 back when the going rate was $300. I got iPhone 3GSes in 2012 for $100 each when that was unheard of. Their Deal of the Day was totally exploitable. You could only have one Deal in your cart at a time but you could just spin up multiple profiles in Chrome and put an item in each profile's cart. I got a lot of great deals that way (including most recently my PS4 Drake bundle for $200). I had my eye on an Apple watch there. Oh well...

This is horrifically sad. I'm not going to know what to do with myself every night at that certain "golden time" now.

The fun is truly over....

It feels like it's Woot all over again, which turned from good to close to garbage ever since merged with Amazon.

could you share info on what awesome stuffs you got from Cowdoom?
Asus PT2001-04 19.5in Portable Desktop i5 1.6GHz 8GB 1TB WiFi $280 (looks brand new)


Dell Inspiron 3152 11.6in Laptop Pentium 1.6GHz 8GB 128GB WiFi $160 (looks brand new)

Pebble 1st Gen $20 (looks brand new)

HP 300-020 $140 (looks brand new)

Just to name a few I still use around the house today. I've gotten so many things from Cowboom over the years it has saved me, family, and friends hundreds to thousands of dollars over the years. Really wish this was a bad dream.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Which time zone are you in? I'm in EST.

The only tool here is the idiot calling himself "cowboom elite" as shown by your thumbs down.
