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

No gaming related but is total drama island any good? Just snagged the season dvd for $2.14.

It's an alright cartoon. Have you ever seen the reality show Survivor? It's a lot like that. A set number of people sent to an island to complete in competitions until there's one winner. There's also some hilarity that ensues but I personally prefer 6teen and Stoked that are made by the same people. The other two being about a group of 16-year old's who always hang out at the mall, get jobs and lots of other stuff that happens at the Mall and in their life. The last one Stoked is about a group of teenagers who go to a fancy resort in hopes that they'll be able to surf and just have fun all summer long. Turns out that they end up having to work for the resort and there's some hazing and as the other titles some more hilarity that ensues. Seems to be a occurring thing with the cartoons made by these people. They're all made in Canada and voiced by Canadians more or less so there's that as well.

I love Survivor. Guess this show should be fun. 6teens was entertaining to me too so glad there's a comparison to it. Cartoon reality show, lol.

Then, it's fairly likely that you'll enjoy the purchase that you just made. I also suggest Stoked in the future when you can find it at an affordable price. It's another that you'd probably enjoy it if you've enjoyed 6Teen and if you end up liking Total Drama Island as well.

My :pS4: Watch Dogs LE (G) came in a few days ago and it is definitely not a dinger.  The box was nearly destroyed it was so bad.  The statue appears to have a small crack in the bottom (anybody else's have that?) and the artbook has a couple marks on it too.  The steelbook looks mint, though.

Happened to me. The box was utterly destroyed and he box that held the artbook, steelbook, and mask was also destroyed. The steelbook had dents as well. I just returned it and bought a different one. The second one was better, but the outer sleeve was cut.

Old shirt, but a goodie! :p

On a related note.. another "Good" copy of Lost Odyssey is up from NextWorth $16.27
Click to expand...
that's not a good price barring they went up. I bought mine like last week or so for under 10 like new

 
I bought my Watch Dogs CE on the ps4 on release day and paid 107 with tax with gamer unlocked.

Factor in I used my BB credit card netted me over 600 points
plus 10 dollar pre order bonus
also ibotta app for an additional 10 bucks

so in the end I got it for 77 dollars ;)

Yay I got finally got it! Gears fan here so no desire to trade it in. Guess I need to figure out how to unload my slim console....

Congrats on the catch! Yah it's a nice console to have I got the same one a few months back and I love it. The console even makes cool GOW sounds instead of just beeps :)
 
Man, I really miss the $22 LN 3DS games from last year.  With some of the games I want (Mario Golf) being only $30 MSRP, it would have been like $18 under the old algorithm.   /sigh  :wall:  Now they are $27...

 
I downloaded the Mario golf demo today and was surprised how good and fun this game is.

Too bad I don't have any Costco near me. I guess I'll need to wait for an used cheap copy to pop up somewhere lol

The game's every bit worth $30. I thought the demo was just okay but the full game is so addictive. The challenges make it even better.

No best buys around me :(
 
:wii: Tiger Woods 12: The Masters - $32.95 shipped (via Goodwill) - Used/Acceptable: "Disc and Cover show signs of normal wear and tear. This is a manufacturer-sealed copy and has not been used."

This is a pretty great price if these indeed are sealed copies of the game.   I've seen used complete copies go for $50+.  At this moment there are 24 available.

I'm thinking they're resealed

OR

They just have gotten damaged from the inside.

Seems like a solid deal if they are new.

I like how those show up the morning after I bought the game for $48 (GCU) at Best Buy. I would have missed out, but it still makes me laugh.

 
not warehouse related but I just got the 3 seasons of avatar plus korras 1st season for 45$ off amazons sale today. not too shabby even if I've seen them all before.  It'll be something to watch with the family along with daria on days when hulu and netflix are too busy.
