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 got the like new couple days ago complete with the slipcover and steel case and art book mint condition except for missing code and was happy with it. But I know someone else also got one LN and it was the game and steel case only but if it come complete it worth it if you like steel cases and art books
I canceled it. So hard to keep even at $7, knowing that 5-6 months ago it would have probably been $2. :cry:

 
Exactly, $20 cheaper and I probably would have bit. Why aren't you my friend on XBL? Actually you're not my friend on PSN either I don't think. :boxing:
Probably because I am tackling my backlog right about now vs playing newer releases. (Thanks AWD!) I need to update my profile since no one here knows it except a couple of folks. :lol:

For that matter you aren't even on my friends list. Changing that right now. :D

True, and I am curious how the month of August will fare given how inflated the used prices still are. Month of August last year was glorious for those who were around (1st sighting of the cheap 360s, vitas, controller and cheap LEs and CEs). Man I miss that.

 
Wish that Xbone wheel was cheaper. I kind of really want it for Forza.
I have owned a wheel for every system since Gran Turismo. My wife would beat my ass if I bought another one...

That's why I won't tell her I bought it, she never checks the front door, so it's just a matter of getting it upstairs.

 
I have also noticed that when the awd drought 1st started there stocks were beginning to drop and it still been dropping weekly since then wonder if there a connection? Cause this quarter alone that just happened amazon had a $128 million net loss also

It's that $128 million we didn't spend on AWD.

 
more like $128 million in refund given in awd partial refund. like the missing hdmi cables/ used downloadble codes
Who was that guy who was picking a fight over a used code even though the description mentioned it? I think I took up a whole page explaining it.

it is really hard to keep up with all the members. it seems like every week you get like 2-3 newly joined members.

 
Eldrich $60 cable wasn't it? Or was it $40?
That wasn't me, and that's insulting. I think that guy stopped coming around.
Yeah, that was sexuallyfrustrated. Eld had issue with a child's book for his daughter laden with profanity that he complained about and the Stick of Truth CE that he contemplated long and hard complaining about. He vented here more (thankfully) than to Amazon.

Fixed! It is more a guessing game every week to figure out whose alt has risen from the grave for the nth time.

Sexuallyfrustrated was banned and no one noticed.
... noticed along with AOC a while back but they are likely here among us again in another guise.

sexuallyfrustrated is basically a lurker anyway, he does not stand out at all, and just pops in and post, then leaves. unlike eldritch, who literally dwells here. regarding the alts, i guess fairypansa finally learned his lesson after being banned for the 4 or 5th time, and actually staying on a low profile now. i also still think dream is alt of someone else. he knows too much even for being a previous lurker.

AOC got banned because he was bragging how he and his reddit buddies got over 100 codes from the second week of the free $5 XBL GS promotion
I think the scientific term is "general asshattery"

And that 2TB HDD I bought a couple weeks ago advertises supporting USB 3.0, but the cable it ships with doesn't operate at USB 3.0 speeds :/

 
Less deals, more pictures of dogs.

True, but it is a matter of time that the alts show their true nature (if they haven't already). Mods will be on standby with the ban hammer.

Yeah, neither of those got resolved particularly well either. :p

Are we not friends now or something? Keep saying hurtful things about me.

Is it an actual USB 3.0 cable?

how was that hurtful? lol you basically taken over dealseekers place in awd for the past year or so

 
How do you tell the difference?
USB 3.0 is an entirely different connector on most stuff.

usb2-vs-usb3.jpg


The black cables are micro and the printer style (that you see on some non-portable HDDs) for 2.0, and the blue ones are 3.0. The 2.0 cable work with 3.0 devices but at 2.0 speeds.

 
Advice from the regulars. I have a CIB http://www.amazon.com/Razer-Onza-tournament--Xbox-360-Xbox/dp/B004DTU0W2/ref=sr_1_1_title_0?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1406869111&sr=1-1&keywords=879862001957 However the trade in page lists it by EAN which is different from what is on my box. The EAN on my box does not come up. However the UPC brings up the correct item. EAN on slip 0879862001957 EAN on box 8886419350057 UPC is 879862001957. I could dump the box and send it acceptable but I would take a $23 hit. What is the best way to submit this? It is the correct product. Also there is no UPC that I can on the trade slip...just a EAN #
I think you meant this for Amazon Trade-in Thread. To answer your question, you go by the upc. If the upc comes up correct when you search it via the video games department then you are good to go.

The cable it came with looks like the lefthand blue one. But doesn't run at 3.0 speeds. I had to go to BB and get a 3.0 cable.

 
It hasn't been less douchey around here for some reason. I guess that's why I didn't notice.

What happened to Myke? I keep asking but people don't answer me.
I hear you, but never forget

Hey guys I got laid last night

Had unprotected sex with a stripper. I should probably get tested :/

He's a lurker now, seriously. He said it himself in the XBL deals thread yesterday. He's still around.
