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​

Why does Amazon warehouse have stuff like Dreamcast games? I thought it was just clearanced, returned, or slightly damaged new goods that they were selling.

Warehouse Deals doesn't manually enter / check every price for the thousands of items they have there. There is an algorithm of sorts that determines most of the pricing. If you look at all the listings for this bike, you will see that there is a New one listed for $9999.99, as well as another new one listed for $157.95.

Prior to the Warehouse Deals listing, these were the only two items listed there. So that being the only current price information in their database (since they didn't have the item in stock), you can see how the computer likely determined a Warehouse Deals price of almost $3,000.

It's still ridiculous, yes - but it definitely makes sense. They have improved their 'algorithm' significantly since Warehouse Deals was young, because it used to be the case that you could easily get $100 games for $17.99 ALL the time. There are still some great deals to be had, but the system is a little smarter at preventing massive losses in potential sales.

For example: Prior to the warehouse deals bike listing, the average price of the bike was $5,078.97. Obviously the warehouse deals item is not brand new, so it needs to be less than that. I actually have some experiments on more specifically how the prices are calculated, but this gives you an idea.

How many were there of the vita bundles?
 
I had bought two of them origionally, 2 limited controllers, A limited xbox w/ 320 gb hdd, halo 4 game, and fotus armor? Worth 350 easy, but buy it new or you might not get unredeemed fotus codes, which go for 80 bucks on ebay otherwise, sell fotus and u got the bundle for 270.
 
[quote name='V4oLDbOY']"Oh, when did you get that game?"
"This? I bought this a while ago, just felt like playing it again."
"OK, I just don't remember seeing you play it before."

*second amazon account for "special" purchases*[/QUOTE]

Add in the fact that Christmas is coming up, and that she shouldn't open anything that comes in the mail because it "might be her Christmas present" and there you go! It's fool-proof! :D
 
[quote name='ShockandAww']I think there were 3 AC Vitas and at least 2 CoD.[/QUOTE]
praying for another good ac vita tonight...gunna be checking this soooo crazy much.
 
[quote name='kouleefoh']I don't know if this is rare or worth it.
$101 Like new DJMax Technika Tune Limited Edition for PS Vita [Import] ($135 new). Some reason they are $200+ on ebay
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B009ECPXSO/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used[/QUOTE]

It was limited to 750 units, the extras are cool but not worth the extra cash. It's almost msrp but I remember people bitching about shipping on this game so getting it new might be better for some people.

EDIT: This one says it's an import, I don't know if that one is limited or not.
 
[quote name='Oxyric']Today i got the last story from the warehouse deals. It was in like new condition with artbox, soudtrack and a really nice box.[/QUOTE]

Pics?
 
Amazon Warehouse must have a really nice/professional shrink wrap machine. I ordered a 360 game that was "like new."

It would so fool me that it was opened at one point. I was expecting my copy to come in with wrinkled plastic wrap that you use for leftover food.
