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

It is great that they are releasing this onto the ps4 and maybe hopefully even xb1 for those who never experienced this gem but unless it is the definitive edition as in including all the dlc then I will have to pass. I just want to have one complete collection and wouldn't mind playing the trilogy once again in its full glory as long as all the dlc was there. However, we are talking EA here so that's asking too much.

I haven't posted in this new thread, so here is my post so I can have a star next to it. I have to say though, its weird having DS2U instead of Poker
We can always count on Kickrockz jacking this thread, just like before. :p

Staying on topic:

:ps3: LittleBigPlanet Karting (A) $7.67 (VG) $8.95

:360: Xbox 360 250GB Halo Reach Console Bundle (LN) $199.56
:360: Hitman HD Trilogy (G) $15.94
:360: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (LN) $14.84

 
Just going to leave it here that I've got a new copy of MLB 14 for Vita for $30 shipped and a new copy of LEGO The Hobbit for $42 shipped.  Know a couple people had been looking for those on AWD and I'm just going to be returning them so figured someone might be interested in a new copy for cost.

Don't you worry, I'm just waiting for my time to strike.

I have a huge NDS backlog but I don't like the way the games look on my 3DS XL (stretched or 1:1 mode) and it's tough going from the XL back to the small screens on my DS Lite.

I rolled the dice on a (G) DSi XL for $65 and it's one of the best finds I've ever gotten from AWD. It didn't come with the original box but the system looks like it had never been touched. It is spotless, came with both styluses, and I love playing NDS games in native resolution on its big screens. I was pretty big into the NDS 7-8 years ago but never paid much attention to the DSi/DSi XL.. I'm really glad I picked one up now, it makes playing NDS games so much better than the DS Lite. 

 
In the market for a Wii U, what's a good price for one? Haven't seen one pop up the past few days
A lot of bundles seem to pop up on AWD, especially the Mario U/Super Luigi U one. I've seen those for $235ish generally. So anywhere from $200-235ish is pretty good, if it's a bundle. I'd hold out for a bundle though. Those do pop up pretty often.

 
Yeah, that looks fine. Is the back of the bottom shelf open?
Yeah, the hole is about the size of the PS4 console itself. I had the PS4 on top but had to move it below because the PS3 is a top loader. Being in there is really nice though because it minimizes dust I noticed.

Really happy to hear that it should be okay. =D

That's a great idea! The less you have to wipe the PS4, the better. The glossy part of the PS4 casing is very scratch-prone. I'm generally very careful with my games and systems, but my PS4 does have a lot of fine scratches on the glossy part.

That makes me want to get one now! I've been buying a lot of games for consoles I don't have many games for, so I've bought a ton of DS games lately, and it doesn't look quite right on the 3DS XL. It does look stretched out, and maybe even a little washed out. I'll be on the lookout for a cheap DSi XL now.

 
I received this yesterday and it wasn't even a dinger, I'm surprised they listed it as (G) because I didn't see any damage to the packaging and the contents were pristine. Everything still wrapped/sealed, Wind Waker + Hyrule Historia codes unused, console serial # not yet registered with Club Nintendo. Thanks for the heads up, I'm really happy with it!

Well, one benefit of it is that the majority of the lurkers seem to have left. I remember there being like 132 viewers in the AWD thread not too long ago, so when there IS a restock, we'll get first dibs on it.

I think it's definitely worth it if you want to play DS games and can find one in good condition for around $75 or less. My only regret is not playing more DS games when they were new because it has such a good library that it's putting a hurting on my backlog. I've got at least 30 DS games on my list and quite a few of those are long RPGs.

yeah I really need to get an xl at some point but love the regular dsi alot. sucks that they disabled posting photos from it though you can still upload via sd card but that's just too tedious. becareful with the buttons though as they need gentle care. I nearly broke my a button mashing through the stupid dialog in golden sun and dq9 :-({|=

 
I always found the DS cameras to be grainy and abysmal. I know it was toted as a major feature of the DSi series, but was it actually any better on that model? If it was, they certainly didn't carry it over to the 3DSs.

 
I once had a DSi, then I figured that I'd would have been better off with the old DS Lite that I had. I was hoping that Nintendo was going to follow through with the DSi exclusive games but I guess all of those were the shovelware it got in it's digital store. I can see how the XL might be better for people but I was still hoping for it's own set of physical games. Whatever happened to the DSi having it's own library?

Didn't they make the 3DS very shortly after the DSi? Most people probably wanted to jump on that. But yeah, there weren't that many DSi titles at all...

They weren't bad, but they weren't great either. It's still carried in the PS Vita and the 2DS. A person is better off taking pictures with a digital camera or at most a tablet that boasts a lot of megapixels. It all depends on whether or not you have 'shaky hands'. The more you shake the more it's probably going to look even worse.

It actually didn't have any physical titles. Most what was advertised was in the DSi shop, I also remember getting an email one time from XSEED where they either developed or were publishing a Piano simulator for the DSi. Which was also advertised as "The First Nintendo DSi Game" The DSi was pretty much just backwards compatibility and the new things it brought with the camera to make funny photos. Or record your voices and other sounds and play around with it.

Also, The 3DS came out 2, years 3 months, and 25 days after the DSi.

EDIT: Looks like there was a total of '5' physical gamecards for the DSi. Even then, only 3 of them were ever released stateside and one was indefinitely delayed. Still doesn't change the fact the whole system was digital games and backwards compatibility. You'd think it would have had more physical games.

Hmm, When I had a DSi I didn't even notice this game even at the local GameStop or anywhere else for that matter. Looks like there was only '5' in total for gamecards. Seems like one was indefinitely delayed, and only 3 were released stateside. Foto Showdown, Picture Perfect Hair Salon, and System Flaw. Still, the whole system had the majority being digital shovelware and most of which didn't interest me all that much. I'm still wondering why Nintendo didn't want to invest in more physical games even if it would still only run for a good two years before the 3DS.
