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

My question is how much of this stuff will actually ship? Cause I foresee a lot of possible cancellations especially since some the items showed a absurd amount in stock for specific items
I know people say amazon don't cancel price mistakes but if I remember right they did cancel a lot of orders from the Blu ray glitch awhile back

They had to cancel those or else there would have been TONS of returns!! Most people were buying them to flip back b/c of the TIV's...

We need appoint a CAG to do our shopping for us when deals like this hits.

 
Last year I got a Final Fantasy 250gb 360 for $30 through AWD and it wasn't cancelled. Today I got a 80gb MGS V Bundle for $47 and I totally expect it to arrive just so I can trade it back to them for a $70 profit, lol.
Exactly what I want to do :p

 
I just looked through my order history, and all 51 items i ordered have a guaranteed delivery date of Saturday. I passed on consoles; would have definitely snsgged an arcade for $15, but oh well. Where were the cheap Vita's in all of this madness?!?
 
I feel like an army wife with all this waiting, hoping that nothing goes wrong over there. I'll probably break down in tears when they say he's not coming  :cry:

Anyone out there that got a PS3 want to sell it to me instead of trading it in? I'm so jelly of all you guys that were able to score ones for like 40 bucks. 

I really should just stop sleeping. It's really the best idea. 

 
To everyone worried about the orders. Looks like all of my early orders are Shipping Now so should be safe. I was on mobile so I missed out on the consoles, but I did get a lot of the cheap games and Collectors Editions. I'm sure some people will have orders cancelled due to AWD overselling, but most of it will probably ship. Just a guess obviously, but based on past history they typically do ship the majority of these items.

You could get lucky and have more show up. At least that's what everyone is hoping I'm sure :)

Haha very true. It's hard with so many damn models though.

 
He's making a joke off your avatar. Like "attack: beg for cheap console, had no effect on CAGer.
Ah fair enough. I mean, I wasn't really begging. Just offering to buy it from someone for around the same price as they would get in amazon gift cards. It's whatever though, not that big of a deal. I'll just wait till the next cowboom sale.

Had it digtially installed on Xbox :( until I got rid of it.  Guess it's time to get it on PS3

Stuff's working on getting shipped at least I suppose. We'll see if it actually does. Still annoying that just changing the card for the order before it even attempts to process the order bumps it from the queue so instead of Saturday almost everything's the 12th-14th.

Yes, because you get those special offers they run occasionally which are crazy and awesome.

I seriously wouldn't even worry about it, you're not gonna want to play the multiplayer. lol

The community is most likely dead by now anyway.
The online community is still alive. I still enjoy MP. It's not as active as it once was of course since it's been over a year since launch but I still play 3 days out of the week when I can. Last I checked, online passes are still required for online play. As a matter of fact, I can't recall any Sony exclusive games abandoning the online passes - only EA and Ubisoft.

Matchmaking is still good so you'll find matches within a few minutes of waiting. At slower times, it can take 5 minutes to find a match.
 
gamestop is also running a god of war bundle (3 different games) for $24.99, not sure if the b2g1 free coupon would work with it

http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/god-of-war-game-bundle/113842
This is a horrible deal. You can get the GoW Saga Collection for less than $20 and it comes with everything.

You can than find Ascension for $5. The Gamestop bundle doesn't come with the PSP remastered either. Both the PSP games are worth playing especially Ghost of Sparta.

Wow, ridiculous deals last night. Too bad I am an east coaster and they were all hitting around 3 or 4 AM my time. Knew something was up when I came to the forums this morning and saw so many new pages in this thread. Congrats to all who got cheap consoles / CEs / etc.

Okay, I now know that the guys posting deals now are just trolling us. These prices are nothing compared to the ones from last night and all you're doing is rubbing it in our faces.

Yes, I missed out on the deals. The one time in these last couple of months I decide to sleep before midnight and I get got. Son of the beach! I am so jelly!

Welp, that's it. I'm never sleeping again. Gonna stalk AWD and this thread 24/7.

 
Does Not Yet Shipped mean it might be canceled??
Might be? Yes.

Will be? Not necessarily.

Everything (all CE's for me) are showing to be here on Sautrday including my $20 250GB 360. Only my MGS 80GB PS3 and AC4 CE PS4 are coming on Tuesday.
Now I know who you are: You're That One Guy Who snagged more awesome deals this morning. :bomb:

It's not great if it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. The message of impending doom though is "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."

you will see his deals end up back on awd anyway, since he is planning to flip it back to them. LOL, but it will probably not be at that low price.

Some of the items have dates like these

Delivery estimate: Monday, August 18, 2014 by 8:00pm

Delivery estimate: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 by 8:00pm

Even worse, is that if they over sold it likely means you will be the one with the cancelled order. Never understood that myself either.

 
Went to sleep at 11:30pm PST last night and woke up in the middle of the night at 3am and opened this thread, I literally just missed everything, frantically searched AWD for an hour or so, cursed at myself and went back to sleep, congrats to all that got in on these deals, I won't be sleeping for the next few nights
