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

The original delivery date was June 3rd but I thought I would get cheeky and complain for a credit. Instead, they changed the delivery estimate to what it says.

oh well, win some, lose some. I didn't really want the slim vita until I read that the ps logo light was moved to the top of the vita. That in itself is enough to make me want the slim, that shit pisses me off.

It means they're too sexually frustrated to prepare your order for shipment.
1/10

 
I bought it because they took out that weird port nobody ever figured out what it was for.
I'm really interested in how fast it charges over micro USB because it seemed to go really fast over the proprietary which was always the reason they gave.

 
The 2-3 hour improvement in battery life carries over to sleep mode, I'm guessing. Also, the touchpad replacement is a god send. Very amped to try it out.

My VG PS4 came in and it was missing the original box.  The order description did say "item will come repackaged" however, which makes me wonder if this was a trade-in, how could it be graded anything higher than Acceptable?  Odd.

Did it come with everything else? As long as it comes with all the items and doesn't appear damaged, it could pass for good. If it's missing something, then it drops to acceptable.

 
:vita: Borderlands 2 - Limited Edition - PlayStation Vita Bundle $169.11 (VG)

"Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Missing shrink-wrap, activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired."
I got that, though I think I'm going to cancel it. I planned to wait until after E3 in case Sony announces other colors for the 2000-model since I really like my Crystal White 1000-model, plus I had hoped to save more than a measly ( :razz:) $30 vs. the new price.

Then again, assuming that's a dinger despite its description (it's too new, isn't it?), I could always sell the BL2 code for $25-$30 and lower the cost even more... :whistle2:k

Me too. May just buy new.
Sorry, guys. After considering the total savings after selling the BL2 code, I'm going to keep it and sell my Crystal White 1000-model. If I really want to, I'll find a decal or something to put on it.

DS2U, have you seen any updates on your Acceptable AC IV for PS4? I got an email this morning from Amazon asking to approve that my copy would be delayed until mid-June. I've never gotten one of those before, but I'm in no hurry to play the game, so I approved the delayed shipping.

 
hmm someone selling a ps vita slim for $12... to buy or not to buy? lmao talk about knowing when it is a scam.

I almost want to buy it for the hell of it, for $12 why not haha

"Normally takes 3weeks from Japan to the US by Standard Shipping."

I assume you went for it since I don't see any such listing?

Question, since that 2ds has pokemon pre installed how would that work buying it used? does it tie to one account and so really you would just get a regular 2ds no game?

That was a very similar description on the one I bought and mine appeared to be a return.

Opened, tiny dent on packaging.

In perfect condition complete with everything but the BL2 card.

My line of reasoning went about the same as yours, but it didn't quite pan out the way I hoped.
