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].

I'm not happy about it either but this is a bit extreme. No one knows exactly what this means, so give it a few days before going into extremes.

Anyone know of any sites similar to cowboom? or alternatives, if there are any still?
The only thing anywhere close is Amazon Warehouse Deals if you are lucky enough to find those versions of what you are looking for.

Quote from Quaro :
The thing that I loved about cowboom is they'd sell stuff that looked like it was put through a washing machine, was missing power cables and and OS... but still worked. For dirt cheap. No way the official best buy store sells stuff like that!
Just bought an iPhone 4 for $60. Condition was "fair" (or something like that) - but it looked better than brand new, came in the original box, with instructions and was only missing the charge cable and earbuds. Being able to facetime with my daughter...priceless. And I'll get most of that money back when I sell it this summer when she comes back from school.

In fact most of the phones I've bought the past several years have been from cowboom. And laptops. All have been in much better condition than described. Oh well it was good while it lasted... Thanks cowboom...

Finally I can breath a sigh of relief. I almost thought you'd never show up for your last chance at Cowboom trash talk.

We all have retailers that we strongly dislike and discourage others from using after a poor experience in the past, but you sir brought it to the next level.
