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

Would this be a dinger?

No. Any reported imperfections mean it's a used console. A dinger is mainly described with only damage to the box or cover with the possibility of the contents untouched.

Thanks. This one is going back out on the market then. So, if anyone is still looking for one it should be up shortly.

 
As a general tip, dingers either a) have the standard item description with no additional comments or b) have comments that take about the packaging (ex. wrinkled box, etc.). There are other cases too, but that's the general stuff.

Probably not. I think most of what they're selling are defective customer returns.

You are absolutely correct. I called today after getting my PS 4 with the blue light of death, the representative stated that the Amazon warehouse deals are customer returns. It was priced at 344 with this description...
Condition: Used - Very Good
Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. All accessories are present and undamaged. see less

I contacted Sony and they're going to send the coffin in the mail, hopefully I end up getting a new console, or at least one works.
 
just picked up a (g) conception 2 :3ds: for $27.46. worth it?

EDIT: looked into it a little more. Doesn't look like my kind of game, at least not enough to justify buying it right now.

In the end CultOfCroft felt like something I would regret and grow tired of once the joke wore off. Went with CinnabarSin so add me for Trials. Just went through the first Warp Zone and I still can't believe I got through it.

I wish Pepsiman would bless us with an appearance right about now. Pepsiman appearance>epic restock
Click to expand...
Not even Pepsiman can save us from the horrid high prices as of recent, regardless of the size of a restock. A restock will still help since what I have noticed is that the prices are a bit cheap until they adjust upwards after being up in the AWD for a while (look at the ps4s). It could be a while before prices go back down so settle in. Might stop in the Giada thread :lol:

 
wow the 3ds i got last night from awd is being over night shipped with fedex i never had that happen before always been ups. I guess amazon is already moving away from ups. which is good because for me fedex always comes early morning where as ups is like 7 at night.

I'm just waiting for some new stuff to show up and it all be over MSRP.

The pattern I have noticed after the algorithm shifted is that the new stuff still shows up reasonably priced but then it adjusts to the new algorithm pattern of high and over priced in a matter of short span of time. Hence, still deals to be had during restocks of whatever magnitude.

lol. I legitimately want one just so people see it and say "What the fuck " when they see it on my bed.

I'm probably too much of a cheapass to spend $14 on one. It would make a pretty funny gag gift for the right film fanatic friend.
