I have never personally bought from them; the reviews are good/bad so it's kind of up in the air. I found some nice deals just never at the right time for me to grab one.

Bought a MyTouch 4G off them and the description said "Minor Scratches". It looked like it got ran over by a truck. I would avoid. If you don't care about condition then go ahead. The stuff they ship you does work.

from people experiences mostly from the users at slickdeals had said that deals from cowboom is a hit or miss, sometimes it will come in good condition or not

thanks for sharing, in case anyone else gets in a situation to get buffaloed by that douchebag, good lookin out.
With any luck, the spambots everywhere will pickup his address and spam the crap out that address (making it past his filter too) at least.
as much as a travesty this story is....
maybe you shouldn't let craigslist retards bother you so much that you post on another site about it
I like how he tried to use his email address to establish some form of credibility. Congrats dude, you were the SECOND person who tried to get unlockwireless from gmail, either that you you just suck at spelling. How about you put enough effort into registering your own domain first, then maaaaaybe some people will take you seriously.. but judging by the way you speak to others I find that highly unlikely.
Call me old fashioned, but.....
Why would you talk to a stranger like that?
You must have known after his second email that you weren't going to be selling it to him. Why not take the higher road, wish him a good day, and end it there?

Maybe we should all send him email asking him how much he's selling Vibrants....I bet over 300!
Scrizz, I really would of expected more from you..
Really think next time.. Ok, so this is what you do
1.) Tell him "Ok, $150 sounds good" (After he shuts up)
2.) Meet Him
3.) *POW* "Does that look like a $150 phone?!?!"
4.) Walk away and wait for more replies.

[Q] Xoom knock-off: Too true to be good?

I know (almost) everyone is still upset about missing the steal... um, deal of the year, but does anyone know anything about this:
http://www.applelover.org/android-30-p-1088.html
I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.
So many red flags all over this.
Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom

If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

I thought I recognized that long sleeve black sweater... He got some of the pics from these guys i think. (Look at silver sticker on third pic down). They are the same unit.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/01/motorola-announces.ars
Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.

Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.
I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.
I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.
Thanks again OP.

I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.

Buying a "LIKE NEW" used XOOM

Can someone tell me what exactly I should be checking for when I buy it? I don't want to end up with a non functional unit. Thank you.
I would check that it turns on.
Check Wifi, Check BT, Touch screen in as many spots as you can touch.
Check for previous users pictures, hopefully he had a hot girl friend.
Also, if its a 3g Xoom call VZW before you hand over any cash and make sure it is able to be activated.

Only if he intends to use 3g otherwise its not needed. I don't think anybody has made a kirf version of the xoom yet so its not too concerned yet. Mainly because it ain't widely popular and chinese manufacturer wanna make money off something like ipad cuz most people could fall for that. Back to the op, check if it turns on, check the screen and stuff, smoothness...etc hardware wise actually, such as a cracked or dusted screen

IF I was buying a used 3G Xoom I would definitely meet at a Verizon store (or call) and have it activated, before I would hand over a dime. You certainly don't want to find out down the road that the unit was reported stolen and cannot be activated.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a Verizon store where we were meeting and asked her to come over there. She said she already have Verizon's plan on it and thanked me for reminding her to cancel it.
Make sure you check for dead pixels! He could have sold it for that reason? People are idiots and you never know. If he was so clumsy to not remember to cancel his account, then I would be suspicious.

Reviews and hands on not out so far. Why?

Anyone here has any info on why there are not many reviews or hands on by any of the tech sites? We had more leaks and even reviews before the handset was released but even after 4 days of official announcement, there has not been much coverage about the device. Most of the tech sites only talk about the specs. That looks a little odd. Maybe there is some restriction on publishing reviews of the device till 13th?
Most likely the sites got their phones after the reveal on noonday, Androidcentral has got their unit and they were the ones who broke news about the GLONASS feature . Thus they need a couple of days to try it, probably under NDA until Google says so. They will probably time it with the delivery on the 13th or 17th or whenever it is supposed to launch they want to spread the hype over time to create mindshare and pick up some space in the news-cycle.

I read on a review site (forget where) that Google put a restriction that no official reviews can be published until this Friday... I think they want everyone to try the device for a longer period of time, which is better for us in the long run...

The reason is there was a huge hurricane on the east coast that caused Google to cancelled the press event in New York.

This is exactly why. If you read the Android Police teaser review, you'll notice he says he had to run somewhere in New York to pick up the review phone Google had. These are the phones they'd have handed out if the press event had happened as planned, but with Hurricane Sandy cancelling the event, things have been thrown a little off-track. I'm ok with that, too, because the reviewers will have more time with the phone and can give us a more in-depth review.
Patience...

Samsung seems greedy as heck...

So I swing by the webpage just to see what it's like ....I notice they want you to pay for an app that basically just presents you the webpage.. also you can pay to have them unlock your device.... or you can pay to be a premium member on theyre forum. It just seems to me after I spent 500 dollars on a device [tab] and another 300 on the phone , they might be willing to at least throw in a couple of online extras for free....wishfull thinking I guess...

Are you referring to the Samsung developers forum? As that's the closest I found to an official forum.
I think he has gone to some third part forum or some private samsung forum for developers which requires membership.
