About eCost.com
eCost.com was an online electronics retailer specializing in discounted and closeout electronics, computers, and consumer technology products. The site operated similarly to a digital liquidation store, offering brand-name electronics at prices well below standard retail through overstock, refurbished, and closeout purchasing deals.
The retailer was valued by bargain hunters who wanted legitimate brand-name electronics at genuinely discounted prices. Selection varied based on available closeout inventory, so checking frequently and acting quickly on desired items was the optimal strategy for eCost shoppers.
eCost.com has since closed or significantly reduced operations. Former customers seeking similar electronics closeout and overstock deals will find comparable offerings at Woot.com (Amazon's daily deal subsidiary), B-Stock, and TechLiquidators, which operate on similar surplus purchasing models.
