How are seven year old “New” 3rd gen Echo Dots showing up at this point?!
Might still be the best all around Echo Dot generation and now on what 5th gen? Really solid build quality and the form factor was superior to the later globular dust magnet Dots. Last Dot with an audio out port to turn a powered speaker or receiver/AVR Alexa aware. But the improved sound requires a proprietary power jack unlike the first two Dots, which were Micro-USB powered. (You could add a battery pack and make them portable.)
It might be “New” condition, but if it has a 90-day Woot warranty rather than the original mother Amazon 1-year warranty, is it really “New”?
Alexa says it’s stolen. Not awesome, @Woot. Not awesome.

Wow, didn’t even realize Amazon’s environment supported blocking stolen Echo devices! Ring doorbells, yes.
It is likely a returned item that wasn’t deregistered from the original Amazon purchaser. This sort of stuff is getting old. I feel your pain.
It explains why Woot has recently updated this notice.
