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 just got a Borderlands Vita not due in stock until the 18th of June. This was the description...
$138.57 Eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime.
Used - Very Good

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.

Does that sound like a dinger???

I snagged that vita still deciding if I wana wait to see if I can get it cheaper

 
It's looks like there has been a few BL2 bundles jumping off, between $138-148.xx.  Backordered until Monday the 13th is what I saw.  They seem to be going lightning-quick.

Sounds more like a possible return so game code isn't guaranteed.

No it doesn't sound like a dinger and that is AWD's generic description for the product. However, being the bundles are still fairly new in terms of how long they have been out from release date, you may get lucky.

 
Well, at least it looks like my $138 Vita that I ordered on June 1st is finally preparing for shipment.  I REEEEEALLY hope it shows up by Monday.

 
I am going to be the person to ask if I stumbled upon something decent, but I broke and picked up one of the $347.xx PS4s that was listed. The official condition was:

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.

So, the biggest thing is that the only description that matters to me is that. Any opinions to throw this way?

I was hoping maybe it was a peculiar description. We will see when it arrives, thanks Eld!

I would have waited for the ps4s to drop in price. Those same ones normally go for $276 and then get jacked up to what you paid for. If you are fine with the price then no worries but it could have been had for cheaper.

 
While everyone is busy arguing about those forza cards.... Bring on the good deals! I feel it. Amazon and walmart are in cahoots and all the $20 consoles will start popping up!!
 
For what it's worth, I've now ordered 4 of the BL2 Vita bundles. They've all come stripped. No workable game codes in any, only one had a memory card, and only one had a charger. None of the Vitas themselves had been touched. Someone simply buying, taking the extras and just leaving the Vita. The range has been good to like new.

Three have been returned to AWD (they gave me a credit to keep one of them), so buyer beware.

Mine came brand new, who knows, might be just the original buyers taking the items as well.

 
Yeh dude. I hear ya. AWD has been hit or miss lately. 1 PS4 and two PS3 60 gb I brought did not work.
But, I have brought several other consoles thru the years and have had generally good experiences. Besides amazon still has a great return policy and awesome CS.
 
I think I just hit the jackpot. Like New PS4 for $296.26 with this description:

Condition: Used - Like New

Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Packaging may be damaged.

That's a dinger, right???

I picked up a LN PS4 with the same description for 296 this week, just tested it, works flawlessly

Peeps getting PS4s/X1s. There is a trade in promotion going on at Crapstop where you get a lot of bonus trade in value when trading in for a PS4/X1. Now, why is that important? Because even if you've gotten a working console from AWD you're going to have a headache/battle with Sony over warrenty. You can trade in your AWD PS4 for a new one from Gamestop and only have to pay like 3 or 4 bucks and you have a BRAND NEW PS4/X1 that will have warranty.

I did this exact thing when I got my PS4 off AWD a couple of months ago.

Would there be a warranty issue with a dinger, though? It should be new, not used. Is there a way to check the warranty status of a PS4 to be sure?

There might be because you're ordering it from AWD, not new from Amazon. Lots of warranties will exclude resellers. Plenty of CAGs on here have had success with getting their PS4s from AWD serviced by Sony, but the problem is there's no guarantee that Sony will take it. For 3 or 4 bucks, I would gladly take a brand new one with guaranteed warranty.

Their warranty technically excludes all second-hand purchases, dinged or not. People have had success because Sony recognizes their console had issues and it's definitely under the original warranty because it's not yet a year old. After that, however, you'd probably run into issues.

How's Murdered going? Interesting enough for the gamestop rental?

Definitely. It's a lot better than most of the reviews claim, and while I already have 49% of the trophies after 3-4 hours of gameplay, I'm not bored, and I like the main characters well enough. If I had to put a buy-worthy price on it, I'd probably say $10-$15.

Cool. I'll rent it after I'm done with Wolfenstein, plat that and trade it in.

Damn! I wish I paid more attention to Gamestop's promo's! This is the type of deal I usually think of way before anyone mentions it. I just bought a brand new PS4 on ebay for $377 shipped, had I known about this I would've just picked up a cheaper used one from cowboom for around $300 and just traded it in for a new one. :wall:
