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

Thought I missed something big when I saw the stock being over 4000. :lol: Glad I didn't.

Most of it is still there. Folks are now just waiting for those prices to drop to make the purchases worthwhile.

Hopefully things progress positively overnight. I will see you all later. Happy hunting everyone! :)

 
Seriously, what's their method behind this? Madden 08 went from $1 this afternoon to $12 right now. And Ninja Gaiden 3 went from about $10 to $27. Lol. Wtf?

Well I did pick up the PS Vita Pouch case that holds everything for about $10. I've been waiting for one for that price. 

I'm hoping these cheap games plummet some time tonight. I'm tempted on that Star Ocean.

I spend an absolutely absurd amount of time on the computer and still manage to miss these restocks. Oh well did anyone get anything good/repost worthy?

My buys from today:

WTA Tour Tennis Nintendo Gamecube LN $.38

Motocross Mania 3 PlayStation 2 LN $1.05

TRON: Evolution Battle Grids Nintendo Wii G $1.28

Rule of Rose PlayStation 2 A $35.99

 
$36 is a good price for disc only and a fantastic one if it comes complete. First time I have seen it cheaper than I bought mine too. Mine was around $60 for LN. In other news a bunch of the games they added that no one wanted went from 90 cents to $3-5.

I found a like new copy of rule of rose at my local pawn shop probably 6 months ago for $5. I had ansolutely no idea the thing was rare, it just looked kinda cool.
 
I guess what I mean to ask was if a WII U Pro Controller for $30 is a decent price,

is there a better place to obtain one?

My best buy never had them on clearance.

Well they did but it was fully priced.

 
sweet i grabbed star ocean for that price deal and 

you guys all know this is your punishment for angering the gods with the non awd talk

What the shaq-fu happened to $254 for very good and $276/$296 for LN? This is not a good day to be a Floridian trying to buy a cheap AWD PS4.

Prices got to go up cause Amazon's got a whole bunch of Rock Band keyboards they gotta pay off still from last month.

The main reason I'm even on the hunt for a PS4 is that the darn keyboard bundles would pay for most of it. :D

i think it was 254 for G, 276 for VG, and 296 for LN.

PS4s are becoming more readily available yet the prices are as high as ever on AWD, back in JAN a G was 332

Yeah, now I'm beginning to question why I passed on that LN $296 one (not to mention it was probably a dinger) that was just sitting there for hours 2 weeks ago! :wall:

They used to be $276 a lot. It was a while ago, but I bought a LN for $276. I ended up trading it in to GS for a Titanfall Bundle when they were having crazy TIVs, so I'm looking for a ps4 to keep.

I freakin love your Avatar. I need to fix my darn signature sometime because I love reppin' dat Lil' Baby's. :mrgreen:

Same here. No rush though. Still have a few 100hr games to get though (Skyrim Legendary, DS2 for plat, etc). I just refresh the PS4 page when I remember. Been pretty lucky before the price bumps. Got 4 but 2 were DOA and had to be returned.

Risky for sure but still might be a great come up. If I didn't buy the gears of war one yesterday I would prob take my chance at this one. Btw it showed there were 2 of them.

Decided to pass. I just can't pay over $80 for something acceptable.

This game has become pretty difficult to find and usually sells for around $30-$40 used. It's rarely in stock at Gametop.com. Right now it says it is but it doesn't allow me to add it to my cart. None are available at any Gamestop stores within my search radius either. $17.99 is a fantastic deal on this game in like new condition.

 
Got my $41.55 PS4 Camera this morning. It was listed as Very Good. The retail box was a little beat up but it had never been opened and brand new. Another successful AWD order.

wow really? I still have one sealed In my backlog that I got when they were clearanced for $10 somewhere. I've just been enjoying zen pinball so much I didn't bother.
 
On a side note I stressed tested the hell out of my vg ps4 past days. With no issues arising, everything in mint shape, & with the sudden rise of price of them on awd now I can be confident this is a keeper.
