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

Trust me, that is an amazing deal. That model is currently one of the top 5 best tablets on the market. For $200, it's a steal.
Thanks. I REALLY hope they dont pull shenanigans and send me the one showing 1-2 dead pixels (Which I nearly ordered).

The fucked up thing is I'm STILL considering some of these other tablet deals

 
If it has the special offers it's worth it just for that.
What does that mean? You get cheaper deals on Amazon?

Is this one a slow old gen? Considering it...
How much slower?

That's one reason I hate people in general. You can see that kind of behavior just about everywhere, including here at times. Hell, I feel like an ass for ordering three of those Arcade 360s that were $15 each, even though I'm donating all of them.
I somehow restrained myself to just one, but even if I got zero I wouldn't hate you for buying extra to donate. That is really cool of you. I wish I would have thought of that because there's a nice place I could donate to less than a mile from my house. I was being too selfish while I was frantically clicking.

No problem. If I didn't already have a Nexus 10 32GB, I would have jumped on that as soon as I saw it.

 
Damn it all, I wanted some more. Oh well. Lasted 2+ hours and was well worth staying up for. Thanks to both SD and CAG for my current deal of the year, next to $2 CoD's at Target of course.

 
Do you guys think the prices will keep on rising until they're back to normal or go super cheap again?
Hard to say. Last year there wasn't this crash. Just a flood of new items being put up at crazy prices and once they were gone that was it until the next time. Never this raise the prices to end it last year.

 
this was my haul for tonight. 1x of each.

i'm surprised nobody over to slickdeals or here mentioned my find.  the samsung galaxy victory phones were less than $10 a piece, reselling in the $45-50 range on ebay/amazon marketplace by the looks lol 

 
So what did everyone get? I spent $100 and got

  • Tomb Raider Collector's Edition PS3 $6+
  • PS3 Metal Gear Solid 80GB Bundle $40+
  • Lord of the Rings: War in the North CE 360 $3+
  • Forza 5 LE X1 $11+
  • AC4 LE PS4 $16+
  • Tomb Raider PS4 (Art Book) $8+
  • Xbox 360 250GB Holiday Bundle (Skyrim / Forza) $20+
Amazing night and my first big score from AWD! 

 
Except when they frequently oversell AWD.
If they cancel your order you have like a week window for the item to come back into AWD.

If it comes in contact AMZ saying your order was cancelled due to not enough stock but you can see now that it's in the warehouse and you want to get a price correction.

I've done it like once before and it worked out fine. If your orders cancelled and it's not because of you wanting it cancelled they'll go out of their way to fix it for you.

 
Well thanks for the awesome deals guys, I need to check around this thread more (Especially since I have prime now). Hope this stuff goes through, I am now stinky from all the nervous sweating and need a shower.

 
Thank god i can finally go to sleep then.

This was fun guys.

See you all next year for the annual AWD fuck up.
It's only August, but this will probably get my vote for Deal of the Year.

Seriously guys that was the most fun I have had playing Telltales Poker Night In the Inventory 2
That will get my vote for Game of the Year also.

Poor DS2U.
This is sad. He deserves these deals more than anyone for all of the hard work he puts in. If anyone bought an extra copy of anything amazing, mail it to this man.
