Amazon has some great warehouse deals, and most of their used games are in like new condition (condition listed can be acceptable, good, very good, like new, or new). Please post specific deals you find via Warehouse deals in this thread. Check latest posts for the newest deals, or click the link below.

WIKI: It seems people had a few suggestions from the last thread in terms of updating the OP. I've changed a few things, but if there is anything else you want to change, feel free to do so.

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 still trying to decide what to do with the VG $276 PS4 I bought last night. It says it won't ship until the 17th, but just to be safe I used an expired debit card, so I'd have 3 guaranteed days to decide. I have a feeling I'm just going to cancel it tonight and put it back in to the wild. I'm not sure how long it will take for it to show up again on AWD for those more willing to take the risk.

I'm over thinking this I'm sure, but the Kinect-less Xbox is swaying my decision making a little bit. I'm wondering if Sony will respond with a new competitive bundle at E3. Maybe out of spite, they will include their camera with the console for only $399.99 total. ;) We know that the ps4 costs slightly less than $400 to manufacture. Maybe they will just include a year of PS+ or a download voucher for some launch games like Killzone and Knack.

Only issue I've had with Kindle Cards is that it can take up to 15-30 minutes to activate after purchasing from GS.

I live relatively close to GS and there have been times where I've made a one click order on Amazon and went straight to GS to get some Kindle cards to fund the purchase. By the time I'm home, the cards don't work so I would have to wait several minutes. I'm pretty sure its been hours since you got those cards?

they should be active already then if GameStop did it right. So it seem like they didn't activate right or you got a bad card either way since they closed already you will just need to go in the morning to get it corrected

Are you sure about this? I have been tracking it everyday since release and I don't think it has ever been listed. AWD is selling the PS3 version for $51 very good so I doubt they would sell the PS4 version for $39 unless it was like disc only or something?

Either way, hopefully some more pops up for the PS4 soon.
Click to expand...
I actually grabbed the PS4 version for $38 yesterday in Good condition. I don't even think it appeared on the Warehouse Deals main page until after I bought it, I just had the page bookmarked and got lucky.
 
Are the first print copies of Conception (vita) already gone? I thought I could wait for $20 on it like I did with almost everything else. Should I just try and buy one now?

not sure about vita, but it seems to be random with awd for 3ds, the most recent one i ordered and recevied a few days ago included soundtrack and was dinger quality, the one about a week before that was just game and regular original 3ds case. Keep in mind it was been out for a month already, i would say try to get one already, but even multiple Gamestops near have them instock for 3ds/vita and they only when i checked they were all first print editions

Were you the person that was trying to buy a ps4 before MLB 14 The Show came out? Lol

Nope. I'm such a nerd that I don't really even play sports games.

... unless they have Mario in it...

... or they have "Wii Sports" in the title...

... or I'm just achievement hunting ...

Been keep an eye out for a blue super slim PS3 dinger, but do you guys know if the super slim PS3 runs a lot cooler then the slim PS3?

I've been debating on whether to buy a PS4 for my folks at home, and taking my slim PS3 up to Central Cali. But I'm starting to worry that the slim PS3 would really heat up my room, and it's already unbearably hot.

I don't know if it runs cooler, but it definitely runs louder than the previous revision.

 
Megamania said:
Yup, their just not working

EDIT: I just contacted amazon, and they told me to return the cards, that they would be able to see if they were redeemed.

Hopefully its not bullshit.
Click to expand...
Make sure you're redeeming them in the right place. GS cards fail for me when I try to redeem on mobile through Amazon app. I have to go to desktop site -> my account -> redeem cards. Then they work fine.

I was depositing them in the right place,

It took a couple hours but they went through. Thanks anyways.

I'm sure someone will find use of that info.

As is I think $150 is well worth it for a used Vita in great condition. If you want BL2 anyway I think the $200 for the new system is well worth it since you're getting a new release $40 game essentially making the new model in new condition $160 if you were going to buy the game anyway. I would probably at least wait until E3 and see if anything's announced.

Of course if this order actually works out I would be selling whichever system I liked less and would probably hook a CAG up at a more than fair price.
Click to expand...
The only reason I disagree with $150 being a fair price is the unnecessarily proprietary and 3x msrp cost of their sd cards. I just can't see a reasonable justification for that. As such, I wouldn't be inclined to pay more than $75 for it (however unlikelyY) because that would basically include the cost of a reasonable amount of storage at their overinflated prices. That's why I'd be super jealous if your $60 one worked out - that's basically my buying point.

 
Bobby's Universe said:
Probably. Are you keeping it? That would be a big concern for me.
Click to expand...
For now, I will. I'll keep playing it and see what's up. I do still have time to send it back to Amazon. I just don't get how it can't read the disc when the game is brand new lol. Someone mentioned earlier that it could be the sign of a future blu ray drive failure. So, I'll keep my eyes open.

has it done disc error only on one specific game? or have you tried others with the same results?

 
Opened my Like New PS4 up, everything seems to be in really good condition. Can't say for sure whether or not someone used the console/controller but the controller still had plastic around the buttons/d-pad and everything else was untouched.

Awesome, that's a good sign. Did you try to play a ps4 disc or bluray disc to see that everything is in working order?

Yesterday I thought you might have bought one of the $276 Very Good consoles. How much did you pay for the Like New PS4?

 
Sorry for the late response, I was taking a nap lol.

Yup, it was LN. I didn't trust the descriptions for physical damage with the VG ones. I didn't get to test a disc yet so I'm still holding my breath. I don't have any PS4 games or blurays yet. Have MLB The Show coming in on Friday.

EDIT:

What's a good price for a PS3 on AWD?

(LN) 500 GB Last of Us Bundle $199.73

Not sure if that is a good deal. It is at least better than the other PS3 consoles I've seen the past 3 days.

I have seen good condition ones that are actually dingers brand new ones for $160 or $170

If you do let me know. I'm new to this whole AWD so I'd love to see that I'm contributing lol. I got a whole bunch of Amazon credit recently so I've been monitoring like crazy.

I just can't justify that price because it is so easy to get the regular Slims for $100-120 off Craigslist and I like that design 10 times more than the Super Slim.
