F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
From Amazon: Get deep discounts on open-box, like-new, refurbished, or used products that are in good condition but do not meet Amazon.com's rigorous standards as "new".

Warehouse Deals is part of amazon that has open box, new but with damaged packaging product aka "dinger" and trade ins in generally like new condition. They are considered 3rd party by affiliation and as such the "Amazon Warehouse Deals" distinction but are still part of Amazon.

Is the Amazon Warehouse Deals return policy the same as Amazon's return policy?
Yes! All purchases are eligible for Amazon customer service and 30 day return policy.

I'm using the games sort by console link, and the games will not sort by price properly. What is wrong?
You aren't doing anything wrong, the sort by price feature on Amazon is broken during restocks and or when pricing algorithm goes haywire. During those times, prices don't adjust and assimilate with the current inventory quickly enough to show the sorting as such

I'm waiting for a ps4, xb1, 360, ps3, 3ds, or PS Vita to pop up.. What time do they usually appear?
They can show up any time, the best way to find it is have the item tabbed on your browser, and download an auto refresh app and frequently check it, and or set alerts... Sometimes they will not pop up on amazon warehouse deals storefront, you will need to check the "used" section of the item

Why did all the prices of games randomly jump up?
Games on warehouse deals generally go on a cycle. They will get extremely low, great deals.. Then they will jump back up and restart the cycle of falling in price again.

I have a gaming credit and/or an Amazon gift card. Can both of these be applied to Warehouse Deals orders?
Gift cards can be applied to orders made on warehouse deals, however video game credit is only good for items shipped and sold by "amazon.com", warehouse deals does not count as this.

What was Penny Deals?
In early September of 2011, tons of newer release, more expensive games popped up for 1 penny each. Many CAG members placed orders, expecting them to get cancelled. Some were cancelled, however many CAGS got a large amount of games for a penny each. There has been no confirmation what exactly happened and why these games were sold for a penny.

What states does Amazon charge sales tax?
Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the following states are subject to tax:

Arizona
California
Connecticut

Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Note: No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift cards; however, purchases paid for with gift cards may be subject to tax.

What do you mean by a "dinger"?
Dinger = Item is new but the packaging is damaged in some way or form.

These are speculative guesses at best going by descritption of any given item and also taking into account the length of time an item has been out since its release. Shorter the span of time from release of a game or console, better the chance of scoring a new item with damaged packaging aka "dinger".

What condition are products from Warehouse Deals generally in?
First and foremost all games from AWD are considered used unless specified as new. Usually, games are re-shrinked wrap and depending on condition they can be perfect / brand new, brand new with damaged packaging aka "dinger" to just a game in a generic case. AWD has 5 condition criteria for their listings and they are:

New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unopened video game in perfect condition in its original packaging and with all original packaging materials included.

Like New: An apparently unopened video game in perfect condition (although it may be out of its original wrapping). The box and item are pristine, with no signs of wear. Suitable for presenting as a gift. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Very Good: A well-cared-for video game that has been played but remains in great condition. The game and its original packaging are complete and slightly worn, but unmarked and undamaged. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Good: The video game shows wear from consistent use, but remains in good condition. There may be clear external signs of wear and damage to the original packaging or instructions, but the game plays perfectly. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Acceptable: The video game is fairly worn, but it continues to work perfectly. The box and instructions may be missing or damaged. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Sellers are required to note whether the box or instructions are missing in the condition notes field for the item. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Any game I have personally ever bought in good or above condition has been in near mint condition. Acceptable ones have been a gamble. Getting DLC with games has also been a gamble and since AWD games are considered used, don't expect unused DLC even though there will be occassions where they may come unused. In regards to DLC, ymmv. Conditon wise, some people have reported that games were scratched with stickers on the insert. Consoles are also usually reported in like new or new condition with box damage. Rarely, a console may be missing a key component such as a power brick. Games listed in "acceptable" condition likely have very beaten up cases, or are missing cases and inserts, and are in not so great condition, but generally have a working game disc. Consoles listed in "acceptable" conditon can be either new in damaged packaging and or a pure gamble in what conditon they will truly be in along with what is included in the box depending on the time frame from release of the console.

Here is an example of a like new handheld (PS Vita) - Thanks Slixshot

I'm actually not even sold on this deal really. It's a great deal, but I remember having a lot of trouble from the last Seagate drive I had. So much, in fact, I straight sold it and bought a WD drive.
I was going to buy it just because it was cheap haha. Do these work on systems such as XB1? Does anybody know

 
Invite me to your match or we will be :boxing:
Well I don't think you were my friend then so it's your own fault.

It works on Wii U I believe

(Not what you asked I know)
I think they do, maybe?

I know they're supposed to be the powered variety, which this isn't, but we'll see.

Got one fortunately but then it doesn't show you the claimed percentage so I don't know how in demand these were. If only I had a Chromebook to plug it into.

I hope they do another chrome book special, my moms laptop died on Monday so now she needs one. And congrats on getting a hard drive, no fights now.
 
2nd gen, HD and HDX only
Someone was asking me this earlier and I had no idea, sort of blows that Amazon doesn't care about the first gen fire owners, they are who pretty much supported the product.

What's the going price for a ds3 controller on AWD lately? Is it at the point that I should just buy a new one instead of rely on AWD?
 
I didn't buy it from Amazon Warehouse Deals, but I bought a Wii Classic Controller Pro from a reseller on Amazon. Problem is that the analog stick is broken to the point where I can't play the games I bought it for. Is returning as simple as printing the label+authorization and putting the authorization inside the package and then putting the label on the box and just taking it to UPS and telling them "I need to ship this."? Or will I have to pay to ship it, I've never had to return anything on Amazon as I've only bought digital items (games).
was it shipped fulfilled by amazon or was it shipped directly by seller?
 
Happy to say the $89 ps3 is working great. Came with new-ish controller,power cable,USB cable, and clean ps3, one scuff or maybe dirt/stain. No hdmi/rca cable in box.

Had to use my old rca and hdmi cables.

Good to hear! One more day and I'll see how mine is. If there is a PS4 in the box though... Might have to return it lol

tell me about it with the first gen fire, they actually update apps to make them STOP working on the first one. netflix is the first that comes to mind. no prime music on it either, luckily my wife doesnt really care she just uses it for the ebooks and games.

 
saw that sale last night   but was too buzy dealing with family member who found a  huge piece of plastic in their coleslaw we got at the chicken house for dinner.  Looks like it came off someone necklace. went back to the  place and the manager was a sob who acted like we  put it in  the food our self.

Free chicken for life now? Or banned from the place? Lol

Yea I love my first gen fire but it's mostly for books and comics

funny thing she goes I can give you another coleslaw for free. I was like i found this freaking piece of plastic in it and your not even going to check to see if anymore is in the crap. Why they hell would i want a free one. Got nothing out of it really was not unless someone got sick off it (lucky noone broke or cracked a tooth on it) My dogs would of loved free chicken for life though LOL

 
Just imagine if they suddenly start dropping.  I would say it would be a mad dash for them but no one, myself included is actually watching constantly at this point.

 
My (A) PS3 slim came in today. So far the top is has some heavy scratches not deep but cosmetically it's ugly. Rest of the system looks good. Came with a controller too, so I lucked out there. Only power cable was included too. All in all not bad for a cheap PS3. Much better than trying to get those brick $30 fatty consoles lol
 
price tracking, book marking, adding stuff to carts and wishlists combo. some people also use page refreshers like check4change but I don't care for it.

You have to check 4 places sometimes as amazon is weird and doesn't always have stuff show up in all of them.  Like for example a while back I got pokemon pearl for 4 bucks vg and that only showed up in my wish list and not on the cart front page or awd

if you are using a hdmi wire try using a composite wire instead cause it could be a resolution problem
