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].

yes I would like to know how some people got access to the codes early? I have gone within a minute of the deal posting to things being sold out.

There is no upside to this. The only thing we can hope is that only the name changed.

Cowboom is one of the rare instances of Amazon level customer support

BTW Tab S2 just arrived and the screen is just beyond amazing. No wonder people call tab s2 king of tablets. Warranty is good through November 1st. I love Cowbooms but I don't know how bbo will turn out now.
Hmmm...I've never heard Samsung referred to as the king of tablets and I own two of them.

I am sure this will be a great move for us. Remember when Amazon bought woot, and everyone was worried about it. That turned out awesome.

This is sad. Cowboom's prices for used items were often 20-30% lower than ebay.

Microsoft xBox One 500GB Video Game Console with Kinect - ~$195.

I think I broke Cowboom, like literally BOOM, when I ordered the last of the Dell UltraSharp U2715H 27in IPS LED HD Monitor last night. Sorry guys, it was me!!! I'm not only a homewrecker, but also a sitewrecker as well.

How much was the U2715H?

I know it was coming. Their customer support went from Live Chat + Phone to Live Chat (5 days only) to email only. Return was 30 days then 15 days. But still this is too sudden.

Ummm, Wasn't CowBoom always owned by BB?

My only experiences with CB were negative, so this really doesn't affect me any.
You're one of the main reasons this site isn't around anymore. People like you want great deals and perfect products. That's not how it works. It's pre owned for a reason . I have had nothing but great experiences with cowboom. Picky people ruin everything.
