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

Just opened my (VG) PS4 and it's a launch console because the $10 PSN, 30 day PS+ was in there. I know it's expired though. Controller still had those little stickers on it. So I was hoping dinger.

However, it did not come with the controller charger USB....

I gotta plug it in and test it but wth...

That's exactly how my ps4 came in last week. It came with the codes, original box...it was just missing the usb cable. I used my S4's usb cable to sync the controller to the ps4. Did you pay $276 for it? As long as it works, it's still a great deal

it's up (presuming you knew and tossed it back into the wild). Very tempted but I am still waiting for a refund on my DOA PS4 which probably won't be processed until later this week.

Awesome. AWD seems to update the used tab with the lowest price slightly before posting it. But I don't check alerts religiously, so it is sometimes tough to tell if I've gotten the update right before it's there or right after it's left. Thankfully, it seems like it's usually the former.

Yep, that's the first sign if it doesn't show up in the listing portion. Just for kicks, I check every so often and posted when it showed up. Interestingly enough it's still there even 15 mins after your first post.

EDIT: gone now

Damn, I would have definitely taken a gamble at $30, if the pass is included that's a good deal. I only have one or two returns in the past few months so id be pretty safe returning if I had to.

I wasn't messing around, when I posted it was still there. Hence, the posting. It is gone now but I am surprised you guys didn't catch it. I saw it for good couple of minutes after M-A-R posted about missing it. The description sounded like it was a dinger (damaged packaging).

One of those titanfall headsets looks like it could be a (G) Dinger for $77

Description: Used - Good


Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Packaging may be damaged.

Thanks again Chemosh013, I wanted to let you know this worked out perfectly. The box was a total tinger, everything looked untouched and the headsets are working great so far. Considering the adaptor alone is $25 I feel the headsets are of decent value. Defenitely not worth the $150 price tag but I'd take them over the old turtle beachs I had before. Good value for what I paid.

So I got my LN Bravely Default today. When I put it in my 3DS it shut off.  Thought my battery was dead. Plugged in AC reinserted game and it did the same thing. Looked at the game cartridge and noticed it had been tampered with.

Remembered reading a couple days back that someone had received a Link Between Worlds that was tampered with as well.

Looks like I won't be getting any 3DS games from AW for a while. Hopefully there will be a way to catch the games that are tampered with or find the person that is doing this.

I would have been pissed if it ruined my 3DS.

Tampered? You mean like a virus?

Lol. I highly doubt someone's going around buying AWD 3DS games, installing viruses on them and returning them.

No, someone got a LOZ game and it was really Shinobi. Someone traded it in, but switched the carts around (so this is what I think he is referring to)
Click to expand...
Yes this is what I was referring to. I could see marks on the side of the cartridge where someone had pried it open. You could easily separate it as well.

I tried it on a different 3DS and I cant even get the system to detect the game. Was wondering what game the person might have switched it with was lol. Anyways its being returned as defective.

Dang you got one too? Yeah, that was me with the Cubic Ninja via Zelda - now that you mention it my 3DS did blink at me like something was wrong with the screen before it actually came back up and read it. I hope they can trace these back to the origin - it would suck with all the issues Amazon and Nintendo have had if 3DS games started becoming an issue in AWD.

I find it very weird that Amazon is running a promo on camping stuff and they have the tent I want in the size above and below the size I want but not the size as part of the promo.
