This is a really good deal, I just bought 2 Nooks a month ago, they were $250 each. I felt lucky I had a coupon from B&N for $25 off.

Jump on this one if you can!

It's not a deal because it's refurbished. The OP should have mentioned this in the post, and it's not clear at Icemonkey.com until you click on the "Specification" tab.

Barnes & Noble sells them at this price with free shipping all the time through their eBay store (I just bought one) and Buy.com offers them via their B&N storefront for the same price.

Refurb Nook Colors go on sale, but for less than the price on this deal.

So, while bstu185 was correct, if not particularly eloquent.

Its refurbished.

Normally refurbished units don't bother me.

However after many phone calls to BN's nook line I found this out from one of their customer service rep's:

B&N uses a team of "tech specialists" to determine if they have to replace parts. The bottom line, if it powers on - has no dead pixels, it doesn't matter how long the screen has been turned on for - they'll ship it out as refurb'ed. They leave it up to fate if your Nook hardware is to fail.

They do have the same parts warranty as NEW units, but typically parts fail with time. Question you have to ask yourself: Do you want to start with new parts (most would assume they replace the touch screen as its a wearable part - they don't always replace the screen no questions asked), or risk the chance that the unit fail for 100 bucks less?

When you factor in the BN rewards discount now on nooks - Its not that big of a difference.

Now if someone finds a NEW unit for this price - I'm in for 2.

@cschafer: Unless I'm looking in the wrong location on buy.com, the one for $149 on there links back to refurbs from B&N if you click the "See All Buying Options" button. The new one there is still $238 (w/shipping).

@drfaulken: Thanks for mentioning the refurb. I didn't realize it wasn't new. (I should have KNOWN better!) As with all refurbs, it's buyer beware. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.

Why all the refurb trashing? Are we not on Deal.Woot?
For that price I'll risk a refurbished unit.
Though I agree, it should have said that right in the header.

@drfaulken: You are correct that it isn't clear on the icemonkey site that the units are refurbs, and I didn't note it in my post because I did not see it, even though I read through the site... sorry.

I don't have any experience with the site, and I did not purchase the deal myself, but I thought someone else might be interested.

I left it to the consumer to do the research behind the deal... I'm just the messenger. ;) I did not have the time to research it further, like other posters have done. I think the information others have found, and shared with us is wonderful.

This forum is an invaluable resource for the consumer, and I appreciate it, and all who contribute to it. :)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
