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].

Hmmm...I've never heard Samsung referred to as the king of tablets and I own two of them.

Well it depends I ve only owned premium tablets and not the cheaper ones. Galaxy tab 1,2,3,4,A,E and pro are designed and considered to be the cheaper ones. None of those claimed anything. Which Samsung do you have? BYW You should check out what display experts said about post note 4 samsung display compared to all other competetors.

Quote from RussellM9471 :
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.
My first experience was buying a Droid 4. Condition was listed as good. Upon sliding out the keyboard the "D" key was completely ripped out.

So take it for what it is, I don't consider that as "good" condition. Maybe your opinion is different. I certainly don't go around willy-nilly ripping on people without knowing their background. But some people are just assholes to begin with.

And for reference, I've only owned a handful of new electronics in my life, and only 1 new smart phone ever.

Hopefully this leads to better quality items but I doubt it. I got two items of cowboom and they were both nonfunctional contrary to what was advertised.

Man, I'm sick... Cowboom has been great to me (20 purchases over the past year) but I doubt we'll see any deals close to what was on CBoom on the outlet site. Anyone use other sites that are along the same line as Cowboom was?

I'm an employee and I just made a purchase on the employee auction site 5 minutes ago.

This site has technically been open to the public for awhile now. A mass email was sent out months ago about it. Typically I find better deals than on Cowboom but the BIN prices are always higher than average sale price on Cowboom.

PS: sorry quoted wrong person but it still applies

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.
Are you being sarcastic? Because I honestly can't imagine that you are being honest here. Woot has been crap since Amazon bought them. Anyone remember the bags of crap (boc) pre Amazon? That NEVER happened again once Amazon owned them. They were giving TVs and awesome electronics for $5. Then as soon as Amazon owned them their BOCs were a joke. A couple of useless toys.

After reading this thread, I am convinced that 99% of the people posting do not know that Best Buy has always owned and operated Cowboom.
