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].

If you can care less, than you must care.

Otherwise, you couldn't care less.

Best Buy cashback was just deactivated from many sites now. Not sure what is going on with this company.
No one really cared, but Best Buy closed their 3rd party marketplace when they closed cowboom.

A lot is going on, and its too fast. Something suspicious is happening.

Best buy Outlet deal is too far from Cowboom, which is the very similar with retail price. I miss Cowboom a lot.

Oh, what terrible news. Cowboom shipped out some broken shit every once in awhile but the prices were amazing. If a BB rep or exec is reading this, you guys dropped the ball.

BestBuy shut down the Cowboom Facebook page, too, it seems. I guess they got sick of seeing us complain about the idiots running Best Buy.

What a shame. $270 for a basic, pre-owned iPhone 5s? Really? BBO sucks big time.

Cowboom stock will not go to BB Outlet, it is being liquidated through the techliquidators website. For example you can still see Cowboom flyer on the sample photo Big Grin :

https://techliquidators.com/index.../i/1781279

Guess they actually make at least the same revenue (and probably even more profit?) by not testing the units in full and avoiding the hassle of unsatisfied customers.

Oh, and of course you will still find Cowboom stock on Ebay, so ebay sellers buy it from techliquidators now in bulk.

This is sad reading this. I know I'm late to the thread--but I only shopped at cowboom once or twice a year. I missed A Lot of good buys, but always thought there would be a next time. Techliquidators--I just visited their site--that's a lot of bulk purchases you have to buy!

Yeah, that's too bad. I guess I'll stay tuned to slickdeals to see what, if anything, fills the vacuum.

This is the worst. I purchased some Xbox one controllers for $20 after coupon from cowboom. BBO has the same product for twice the price.

I really miss cowboom. Once we had some promo code that gave deep discount on laptops. Now they are all gone. Anyone knows other websites offer cheap stuff like cowboom?

Old thread but anyone know how I can lookup my invoice from Cowboom? I can't get to their site anymore. I don't know if that data would be migrated to Best Buy or not.
