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 looking to get a tablet. I was actually going to buy an ipad this weekend, but I got the kindle offer and read that the kindle fire hdx is essentially a tablet. The question is, is it GOOD as a tablet? I pretty much just want it to browse the internet, watch videos, and play some games like Shin Megami Tensei, tales of phantasia and Dead Space. Or would I just be better off getting an ipad for my tablet related purposes?

honestly if you want a android tablet I would recommend nexus 7. Kindle tablets are locked into the amazon AppStore which has alot less then the google play store and you can't even use google play on it unless you side load it. Which is why alot of android apps actually are missing from the amazon App Store. I bought a kindle fire back in December during one these specials primary for the special offers and also since I have prime I am able to download prime movies to it and watch the movies on the go without wifi access needed. But other then those two features I mainly use a nexus
 
Interesting, I was able to order a $19 Kindle and a $44 paper white.

I don't need either of them lol. Maybe the fiance wants one, I think her fire gives her headaches.

@laundrymatt - no worries. Just a lot of confusion. I hear the HDX is great but I didn't want to spent $150 just for the chance to get the super special offers.

Thinking the same thing. But then i think about all the offers I've missed, and it could have more than paid for itself over the last year or so, so I may splurge on one, I ordered it, but still thinking about it.

Those offers aren't guaranteed. A lot of people complaining about it selling out in 1 min.


Yes you can get 1 of each.

It's no iPad but it's a solid mid-end sort of tablet with good specs. The thing that will put most people off is that it's a closed platform that is not standard Android so you can only use apps from the Amazon app store and not Google Play or anywhere else. Also limited on the amount of customization you can do with it unlike most Android versions and it's really set up to serve and sell media from Amazon more than anything. The Amazon app store has come quite far but if you have investments in Google Play already you're going to be missing out of that stuff and not everything is on Amazon still. It's also still not quite as diverse as the App Store on iOS. For gaming it's still probably best to go for an iPad or something like the Nexus 7 but you won't get those in the same price range.

I went with the Paperwhite after considering that it might motivate me to read more than I have been lately.

FYI Eld: I sent you a PM on the $19 Kindle.

clearly people at AWD think that 'blue light = working', not bothering to actually plug in a monitor

Well, the box DOES show a blue light.

 
That's what I'm wondering... my system has a blue light when it's ON, so I'm just wondering if people are hooking it up, seeing the normal blue light and going "OMG, BLOD!" and returning it... that would be sad.

 
The ironic part is I just got a alert for kindle fire only special offer for a 32gb memory card starting soon for $5 lol can anyone get one hour delivery on there kindles? Lol
 
ACIV PS3 is 13.99 FS on Amazon atm for those of you that missed the deal today on AWD

Edit:  Now it's on 2-3 weeks shipping but still good deal

got these in today, they are actually pretty decent. it wasnt a dinger, though it sounds like some of them up now might be, but it doesnt look like it was used much if at all. i havent used them yet in a game, but from the dashboard i was navigating with voice and it was going pretty smoothly.

I'm not eligible, but they offered me some 4 dollar Kindle Books. Kinda rude. Like denying a fat guy a gym membership, but offering him spandex.

Two things.... first, thank you so much for that link. I would have never known about it. I got a paperwhite and a regular kindle. Wife and mom will be very happy.
Second, I am in the market for a headset. Why is the xbox one easier to use?

Thanks!
