If you don't copy-paste does that link go to new cars for anyone else?

@panthiest: Yeah, pretty weird that a link with the name of the article in it doesn't go to the article...

@panthiest: I've noticed some Yahoo news articles that people have posted in here recently always go to that! Weird...

I wonder why someone would return a tablet without removing all their information first. Maybe the tablets were bricked when they were returned?

I bought two Refurbished Xooms in that time period and a refurb Acer Iconia 500. All were in like-new condition and my father, daughter and I are Skype happy with them. I also posted deals to Geeks.com, Walmarts.com, and Newegg.com for them.

Why yes, yes I did.

And I'm getting paid to send it in and have it sanitized.

But the only thing I have found on it is a short video taken by the Staples customer service guy as he was finishing the store return paperwork.

And I will remove and reset before it goes back.

ha - mine also seemed to be a store demo, and some staples clad counter girls took cleavage shots in the mirror.

I simply did a factory reset. I also received yesterday's email, and they are sending me a box to have it sanitized, as fishphotoguy pointed out, and i'll be getting a gift card for my troubles.

cleavage + gift card? Got a good deal :P

To be clear, this was a xoom i purchased here on woot.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

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.
