F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
Warehouse Deals is part of amazon that has open box, generally like new items.

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

I'm waiting for a 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... 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 condition are products from Warehouse Deals generally in?
Usually, games are re-shrinked wrap and almost in perfect condition. Any game i have personally ever bought has in like new condition. However, 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 are in not so great condition, but generally have a working game disc.


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

[quote name='equality']In a sea of Vita talk, I'm curious as to what price I can hope to find for the 3DS on WHD? Trying to decide if it's worth waiting for one or if I should get one from the sale at Target this week.[/QUOTE]
Was wondering the same thing but I've rarely seen any. So I think I'm just gonna get BB to price match and get it now.
 
[quote name='Donut2922']I wasn't aware that it applied to video games but I can explain to you what the UPC punch out is meant to be.

The distributor tries to get rid of their bulk inventory and not allow them to be returnable so the retailer gets stuck with the whole lot at a deep discount. It's very common for CD's.

I came across the issue when I bought some albums on eBay for cheap and noticed the holes. I googled it and it seems like a legit practice apparently. I never knew it applied to games. Makes sense if you think about it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, anytime you see things like black lines across the bar code or holes punched in the bar code, it involves a liquidation of stock. No way would thieves do this so you can rest assured that its not stolen merchandise. They do this with all sorts of media including DVD's, Games, CD's, books etc.. They even do this with clothing by either cutting the tag in half or using black magic marker on the tag. I actually used to do photography for a liquidation company and they were required to do things like this as it prevents people from returning them to normal retail stores.
 
[quote name='Baldur']Probably mostly everything except the codes, of which there are three: Two days of XBL, a Normandy model for your avatar, and the DLC.*

*assuming Xbox, but for ps3, replace with with ps plus & home, respectively.

I'm not sure how well the box will hold up if not shipped in a decent box with padding or something. It's disappointingly flimsy.[/QUOTE]

Ok thanks, I'll post on Tuesday when it arrived, with any luck I'll at least get everything included, I won't hold my breath for the DLC though.
 
So has anyone who ordered the ME3 CE had it come with the codes? I am very seriously considering it, but I would rather buy it from the third party who has it for cheaper if I know it wont come with codes.

ymmv

one of my :360: CE's came sealed. slight damage to box. but that was a week after release.

right now, i would say your chances of getting unused codes are very poor for those with "missing shrink wrap" and fair for those that don't state "missing shrink wrap" (of course, the CE doesn't come shrink wrapped at all. just stickers. but that's WD's jargon for "not manufacturer sealed")
 
[quote name='elessar123']Common with books too. They'll have a marker line across the UPC, or somewhere on the bottom.[/QUOTE]

Yeah if you dont have any plans to return or trade them in they can be really great deals.
 
honestly if you want a vita, just leave the amazon marketplace pages open and refresh it like every 5 minutes.

i found one (ordered it then cancelled it) then another (ordered it and kept it) in less then a day.

[quote name='CAGALICIOUS']Just picked up a Vita for $244. I have a Droid Razr Maxx, an iPod Touch, and a DS.

What can I do on this that I can't do on my cell phone? Not trying to start any fights, just curious if there are some cool things that the Vita is offering for this price over a PSP. Didn't really read too much into it. Kinda a buy now, ask questions later thing.

Also, I am assuming that $244 is a lot more then I could have paid for it .

Edit: I obviously know they have games for it, I meant like apps or something else.[/QUOTE]

For $5 more you could have gotten a new one.

That's how the games are I receive from my reward sites like House Party. Some people complain that the gashed UPC scratches their other games etc...
 
[quote name='edson13']162 vita wifi[/QUOTE] Dang it. Gone. If I found one for $160, I'd definitely jump on it. It looks like a okay system now, but when I think of Mortal Kombat, MGS Collection, and possibly a new GTA game on the Vita, I get a feeling like i NEED one.
 
[quote name='Slixshot']Hey OP, just letting you know you'll have to edit the OP. I decided to change my account on Youtube and had to take down the video. Here it is on my new channel, if you still want it. It's under editing so it should be switched back to the standard video format (no black bars on the side) in a few minutes.

Thanks, should be "Like New" instead of "Life New" though :)

[quote name='TheKbob']I got an iPad 2 for $360 new from Microcenter. Definitely the better buy versus the 3 or "new" or w/e in my opinion. Fun goof off device.

Probably won't be getting a new handheld. I have a plethora of fantastic titles for mine PSP and DSi XL, yet dust gathering they do.[/QUOTE]

That's the way I decided to go too since I bought a 3ds and did nothing for the last month but played the damn thing. MGS and RE:R were good thou, so was Mario...

WIth an Ipad I am hoping to get back to reading and watching training videos. I am way too old to spend all my free time gaming...

I would have wanted to have a Microcenter to buy a new Ipad thou... Had to buy one used in like new condition for 350 since I could not get anything cheaper that looked decent.
 
[quote name='Greatwhitecoley']http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...08-20&ie=UTF8&m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&condition=used

Vita Good 162.49

Minor cosmetic imperfection on front of item. Cosmetic imperfections on top or sides of item. Cosmetic imperfections on bottom or back of item.

Buy at your own risk

Also as an aside, this was from the same link people were just saying sold out on.[/QUOTE]
I was at the final check out screen with that and then someone beat me to it. ~$160 is my buy price.

Reminds me of the IGN days...[/QUOTE]

A fellow IGN'er?! :)

What's up, man? Surprised anyone recognizes me; I imagine I'm someone that gets lost in the sea of people.
 
[quote name='kevgret']one click checkout is your friend...[/QUOTE]
I know I am moving in a few days though and I had to change the address. That is what did me in. Oh well I'll get one eventually.

There have been a ton of vitas popping up so the odds are if you want one you will get it..
 
[quote name='CAGALICIOUS']I'm good, you? Did you ever get that Dodge Avenger?[/QUOTE]

Ah, a car-lobby guy! What was your username? I didn't wander those parts too often, except for when I needed help because I'm car-stupid ;p

That was actually my sister that was looking into it. I was shopping with her, and while we thought it was a good deal, we both agreed we should find something that would (hopefully) be more reliable. So while not as "exciting", she ended up getting a 2011 Sentra with ~3K miles, along with a 7yr/100Kmi powertrain warranty. So she should be set... hopefully ;p

Hope all is well!
 
How are they keeping getting these used? The system just came out. Are there that many people who don't like the Vita and are selling them back?
