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.

What is AmazonSmile?

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 is this "glitch deals" that I keep hearing about in this thread?

On August 7th, 2014, AWD glitched out similar to how it did around penny deals, except lot of stuff went for cheap instead for a penny. The pricing algorithm went haywire and in the process lot of stuff went for cheap across the AWD spectrum from games to iphones to tablets and everything else in between. The "glitch deal" lasted for maybe a couple of hours and fellow CAGs that were around during that time made out like a bandit. Below is the timeline leading up to the night and the deals that went down on that night.

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".

AWD product description says "Factory Sealed", is this item new?
First and foremost, AWD sells used / open box items so in their terms it has been sealed / resealed at an Amazon Warehouse and hence the "Factory Sealed" part so no it isn't necessarily new. It isn't necessarily new because it could go one of two ways:

1. It was traded in / open box return / test unit that was resealed at an Amazon warehouse facility.
2. It was a dinger (new with damaged packaging and with seals intact).

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

Couldn't you swap out the case on an Acceptable one so you had a good working Pokemon 3DS again?
I might not be thinking right, but i'm not sure what you mean by that. You mean return the Red one through Amazon?

omg your avatar is hilarious XD

a good one from awd popped up on that link for 96$ in case you didn't buy the acceptable one or want to cancel it. why not send your other non working one into nintendo to get fixed btw?
Warranty is gone on the 3DS and I don't really want to pay for repairs. Probably gonna just keep it because it looks cool.

i bought one for $101 a few days ago. it graded "acceptable". so far i am happy with it. i don't think you can get it cheaper anywhere else.
Were there any issues or marks on it?

No telling. They can be mere minutes to even a day in between before being put back up to reorder. Cheer up, they pop up frequently enough so you will have your chance soon enough.

No, I was meaning take them apart and put the Pokemon casing on an Acceptable 3DS. It would mean you would be able to keep your Pokemon 3DS, kinda.

 
Its pretty awesome that you're finding all these deals, but it would probably be better if you consolidated them into like one or two posts instead of a ton
Not to offend you Spink10, but keep up the multi-posting; it'll freak out people later tonight thinking they missed the next glitch sale. :rofl:

When a restock happens, time is of essence so keep doing what you are doing Spink10. :)

Do you guys ever see MGS HD Vita pop up? I've never got the chance to play 3 and I have to travel a lot for working coming up, seems like the perfect time to finally play it.
Yeah, I have seen it pop up a few times for around $16 and $17.

That's prolly the one just traded in! Yes I traded in another one lololol

It was complete btw! But I never tested it so good luck to whoever buys it!
... and someone bought it. :lol: Good luck to whomever! :)

Is there a way to get emails if a new one appears?
Set an alert like few of us do here if you are near your computer, it will go off alerting you of it's availability. I use page monitor for chrome (or check4change for Mozilla) on the AWD page to alert me to an item I am seeking out. You can do the same for the link I posted above and catch it as soon as it appears.

"Used - Acceptable
May be missing one of the following: manual, cover art, or packaging. Bonus downloadable content may have already been redeemed."

I'm not nearly as familiar with the Amazon rating game as many of you are, so I'd appreciate some insight here. I assume bundles labelled like this one are not dingers, but returned systems?

I purchased a similar Xbox One bundle a day or two ago but their was a payment issue and now I'm reconsidering the whole thing. Kinect qualms aside, I could stomach a used system with some scuffs as long as everything was clean and functional. I'm just afraid I'll end up with a dirty controller or a busted camera or something they didn't bother to include on the description page, since it seems so copy-paste.

Advice? Similar experience? I've honestly never bough anything below "good" from the warehouse and never a console. (Sorry if everyone is sick of these types of questions, too.)

not a dinger description and also with acceptable there also a risk the kinect is missing or a controller could be missing or other wires missing since with acceptable only the core console is required to be traded in
 
For dingers you are looking for some type of damage on the outer packaging hence the ding. If it also say factory sealed then it is almost a guarantee dinger from my experience.

Thanks everyone. I already assumed it wasn't a dinger, but I also didn't want some dirty piece of trash showing up at my house, and if there's a chance it's going to be missing components or something, Amazon can keep it.

I already bought six games in anticipation of the console, though. Looks like refurbished Groupon deal plus discount code is the best way to go price-wise.
 
so, i just impulse bought a ps4 that was like new for $254.

i've never bought a used console from AWD, or anywhere for that matter, should i be optimistic? i've always had good luck with games, but i'm a little anxious about a used console.

Never be optimistic; you'll either be pleasantly surprised or at least not let down.
 
unless it says factory sealed and repackaged in same sentence then it can go either way
never had luck with dingers. I ordered a PS4 during Nov 2014, the description was ""Condition: Used - Like New - Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Factory Sealed"

It arrived the following 2 days with very lots of noticeable scratches on the glossy portion of the system. System arrived in PS4 box with everything. Amazon warehouse just inspected the system and placed a piece of tape, and that's "factory sealed" to them. I returned that system since I didn't like the condition.

I thought I tried my luck again and ordered another one in December, this time it didn't come in the original box. This was the same product description "like-new factory sealed" Warehouse just placed the PS4 in the system a box and enclosed it with another box to ship it.

The system came arrived with lots of scratches yet again. The accessories and controller overall looked like new but no way in hell was I going for keep that PS4 for $349 after taxes and all.

this doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. i was cautiously optimistic about my like new one before, now i'm a bit worried.

There are 5 of them - but for sure trade-ins... Stock date April 1st... Damn I'm so tempted.

This should be bold faced and added to the OP as sort of a AWD mantra.


...oh wait...nobody reads the OP...

Off topic: what do you mean by a "dinger"
Since I didn't read the OP I had to figure this one out for myself. I always just assumed a "dinger" is when you find a deal and internally think, "Ding ding ding! We have a winner!" like on a game show.

 
[quote name="CookieParty" post="12592124" timestamp="1427289210"]What's an OP? Is it kinda like being down with OPP? Yeah, you know what I mean.

It is too difficult to read other posts before I make my own.[/quote]

Original Post or Poster depending on the situation. The OP in this case is the first post of the thread that outlines some rules and expectations
