WIKI: It seems people had a few suggestions from the last thread in terms of updating the OP. I've changed a few things, but if there is anything else you want to change, feel free to do so.

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

Snagged a PS3 Azurite 250GB System with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Bundle for $160.87. Is this a dinger?

Condition: Used - Good

Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item in original packaging. Packaging will have cosmetic damage.
 
My rule of thumb is that if an item is still currently sold by Amazon, a unit with damage packaging got a good chance of being a dinger.
 
[Edit]
 
Also going to probably return my $33 (g) 80GB PS3 when it arrives tomorrow. Already got a fat that even plays BC so this is unnecessary. Hope you get it MangaReader!

Hope so to thanks :D

 
I just realize something. You guys know how amazon usually refund you 33% of original purchase if something is wrong. That's exactly how this thing is priced aswell as the $180 last of us bundle which originally is $270. Interesting to say the least.

*P.S also noticed my first post in this thread lmao

"Finally used my PS3 from AWD to play PS2 game and man does it suck. Much rather have a slim now or even super slim. Where the heck is that blue $160 console?!"

Also, god bless you poker360."

@mangareader

you've been plenty patient mate

What do you think this description means? Large wrinkle/bend on what?

 
Amazon never sold that specific 3ds so the chance of it being a dinger is highly unlikely.
There's a perfectly good chance. Things like that usually wind up on AWD because Amazon buys items from their FBA sellers that get damaged in transit or returned for similar reasons then they go to AWD.

I agree there's a chance, just not a good one imo. Does the risk exceed the reward? New 3DS XLs are usually priced at $150(w/gc) these days.

Just pointing these things out to help. Word on the street says whispered that Amazon ban for too many returns.

I know there was one the show for vita posted for right at 30 for LN, but has anyone noticed any lower?

Trying to decide if I want to waste some time trying to get one in the 25 range or just go ahead and get it from BBY after 20 percent off with GCU. 35 after tax that route and getting a LN for around 30 only saves 2 bucks.

You can get lightening returns new for that much right now just an FYI for anyone who wants it

Edit: just found the thread about it, per thread in here $19.97 new although not sure how long that'll last. I do think 29.99 us new Msrp already though
Nah msrp is still 60 it's just on sale everywhere this week for 40. It's still new enough I think square doesn't want to admit it's a flop.
 
Grabbed one of those kingdom Hearts. Figured it was worth a shot, just said identifying marks on it. Hopefully it comes in a good shape. I just want a case to match the ffx/x2 case.
 
Good I haven't missed nothing noteworthy yet lol trying to balance between being here at coachella for the music and remember to Check awd at same time is hard lol
 
Just rolled the dice on a PS4 camera, $31 acceptable and there was $35 for acceptable.  The description talks about scratches on the box.

 
Just grabbed a Good Pokemon X for $21.09

There is back-ordered Very Good for $22.72 also

Edit: I canceled the Good and went with the Very Good one...this will also give me a few days to decide if I want to keep it or not, I don't actually know how a Pokemon game even plays, I just bought a 3DS recently.
Pokemon is fucking amazing. That is all you need to know.
