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 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.

Items sold by Warehouse Deals and shipped to destinations in Alaska are also subject to local sales 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".

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

Any tips on finding deals?
Sure! Here is a guide for a plugin for Chrome users to set alerts for items. Part 2 of the tutorial helps get AWD link to item not currently instock or that hasn't come out yet.

For Chrome users PageMonitor is a handy plugin to catch deals. (Guide listed below)
For Mozilla users, Check4Change is a handy alternate plugin to that of chrome's.

Also, http://theforklift.net/ for those looking for AWD deals in a pinch.

From my original post (concerning PageMonitor and AWD links):

I wonder if I'm doing it right. I'm adding the used page of the product (and selecting free shipping to filter it), however the program alerts me there is a change eventough there is none (the Sorry message we see when there are no products with free shipping - usually AmazonWarehouse).
The way I do it is selecting the price itself. For example I go here: http://www.amazon.co...&qid=1427814309 then I select the game/console that I want too look and click where it say used (dont click on the item link, click where it say used under the item you want). Then with page monitor I select monitor this page. After that I go to options (on the page monitor tab) advance and then click custom mode, pick. That will open a new tab withe the webpage of the item that I selected to monitor and there is where I select the price (the number) of the item. Then click done. Thats it, thats how it worked for me.
Time to revisit Feb 25th 2014 (and March 30th 2012) :




Time to revisit March 30th 2012 :). I posted a guide then and it very much still applies with some tweaking to what I know now, so on with it.

Before I begin, know this that you need to go to the AWD site if you are after something specific from AWD like the vita in this example. Also you can fast click the link to the edition you want (if it is a console, handheld, or games), and see each price for AWD only items if they are available. You would be lucky to see something pop up on AWD if bunch of people are hunting down the same hot ticket item at any given time. On that note, the alert DOEScatch AWD items before they appear on AWD and if sniped quickly (1-click), others will most likely just see a ghost listing on AWD by the time it appears on AWD page. Setting alert on AWD page also eliminates false positive alerts since only AWD listings will appear on AWD page vs every minute change that will happen on the main Amazon listing page. Now onto the guide:


This may help answer the question for few who are wondering how to use "Page Monitor" extension for Chrome.

Once the extension is installed, do this. Select the AWD page (not the main Amazon listing page to avoid false positive alerts) to be monitored by clicking on the Page Monitor icon and selecting "Monitor This Page" link (Use the link swapping trick mentioned earlier to get to the page if the game isn't out yet). Then go to Page Monitor options and do as following:
gallery_327158_7630_1370780661_26889.jpg


(You can choose to have custom notification sound, desktop notification, length of duration for notification, and the length of duration for refreshing as you please.)

Once done tweaking the settings, then do this:
gallery_327158_7630_1370780661_26890.jpg


Once you have done step 6, you have set the page to be monitored and you are set. A notification will go off that a change has been found but that is just to notify that you have set an alert. Mark it off as visited and from this point forward you are set to go.

Pro Tip: Set it to monitor the "used" tab via "selector" under the options by checking off "custom mode" instead of monitoring the whole page. If you set if from the warehouse side then it will only alert you if one pops up in the warehouse.

Those step diagrams have been here since the 1st time I made the guide back in March of 2012 and it is under my profile in my gallery so feel free to revisit it if the need arises.

I hope that helps my fellow CAGs. Happy hunting everyone :)





Mulder, on 04 May 2015 - 3:24 PM, said:

One thing for the procedure is that there are no New 3DSs available in the warehouse at this time, so I need to wait to test this approach.
Part 2 of the equation on how to get notification for items not on AWD and or ones say coming out in the future (like MGS V: CE)

Do this to get AWD listings for those items. Open a link to an AWD item (any item) but it needs to be an AWD link. Say something like this:

http://smile.amazon..../offer-listing/B00841ZJYO/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used&m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&qid=1430778305&sr=1-15

The part in bold is the Amazon's item listing and each item has its own unique listing identifier so to get the new XL item listing go to the item's page and from it's link get B00S1LRX3W

http://www.amazon.co...DS-XL-Black/dp/B00S1LRX3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1430778512&sr=1-1&keywords=new+3ds+xl

and replace the B00841ZJYO with B00S1LRX3W in the AWD link and voila you have AWD listing for an item not yet availabe.

http://smile.amazon..../offer-listing/B00S1LRX3W/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used&m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&qid=1430778305&sr=1-15

Here are all the new xl links:

Nintendo - New 3DS XL Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Limited Edition - Gold/Black
New Nintendo 3DS XL - Black
Nintendo New 3DS XL Red

I hope that helps. Good luck and happy hunting! :)

This is only my seventh post on the site in the 9 years that I have been registered here. I just purchased my fourth console through AWD, an Xbox One Gears Bundle in listed as "Like New" for $250. This is my obligatory post to appease whatever gods that have favored me with awesome console deals from the site. First system since buying a 360, so I hope the new generation is worth the investment!
Question for everyone. Have a mint condition Xbox one Call of duty console. Whats consider a fair price on market? I see it going for $400+ and the lowest $340 (Amazon, Ebay, craiglist) Post on FB and so many pm with offers, but low offers like $100, $150, $200, etc. Do people not understand its the limited and not the 500GB model?

People just want to haggle to see what they might get lucky on. You want to at least be reasonable if you are trying to get rid of it. When people have tried to haggle me with my freelance rates, I just move on to the next. No time for that.

Is $400 or $370 consider reasonable? Haven't try CL or Ebay yet.

 
Would you pay $400 for a used console?
No, but that is why im asking what is consider a fair market price. Factors would be the condition,etc. For example, look at Earthbound and that's used. If this was a regular xbox one 1tb, then it be different. See 500gb model for $250. Maybe Im looking at the vaule wrong and asking because seems like everyone here may have more knowledge. Should I sell it for $200?

Hey, if it's in good conditions and limited.

Look at the majora's scalpers, lel

People naturally try to throw some low offers to see if you'll counter-offer something "slightly" higher.

You know, like that one psychology trick you do when you ask for a favor?

Ask for something ridiculous, get declined, ask for something slightly more reasonable, have better chances.

Sounds dumb, but someone's bound to bite if they keep bein' like that.

Earthbound's also over 20 years old and was rare when it came out. A complete copy of it in good condition at this point should fetch a pretty penny. A highly produced game system that's used within it's current cycle doesn't command that. Maybe after the XB1 is all but forgotten if it's perfect, complete, and proven out to be hard to find it will fetch above retail but that's a big if when most people want it right now just to play their games.

I mean, looked through eBay and there's a dude selling the same console (didn't realize it was the AW console, ew) --

dude's selling it for 350 w/ extra controller + FIFA 16.

Dunno man, your discretion.

Maybe after the XB1 is all but forgotten if it's perfect, complete, and proven out to be hard to find it will fetch above retail but that's a big if when most people want it right now just to play their games.
Probably not the best example, but a item is rare depending on condition and what the market is going for in demand.

If I knew some good CAG in the area, wouldnt mind and knowing that they wont "profit" and enjoy it as a collector and game person.

An item is rare based on how many were produced, how many still exist, and time. Demand and price is relative to that.

 
I doubt the CoD xbone will ever be particularly rare or desirable. Just because there are so many "limited edition" special consoles now. I would sell it for a small premium to what a regular black 1tb might sell for. $275-300 is what I would want to clear so a sale via CL or similar. Anything above that and you are competing with new 1tb bundles. Personally I would much rather have a new 1tb with a warranty and a game or two vs an old LE console. 

 
I wouldn't, either! You came out ahead there. I'm assuming you didn't pay much for it - I remember trying to practically give away my copy of Battalion Wars five years ago and no one wanted it. Never managed to get ahold of Wario World before GCN games started to jump up in price, myself, but I've heard good things about it. The lack of a case and manual would drive me nuts, though.
I paid about 6bucks for it. I never played either game, I always wanted to play Wario World tho. Just wished I had a case & manual with it. I noticed BW is much cheaper than WW so I did come out ahead.

A case with artwork is at least easy to find on ebay. Probably missed my response with a link...

So I just got an email from Amazon thanking me for being a Prime customer and having pre-ordered games and that I'll get 20% off them.  So even though I'm no longer Prime it looks like that may be applying retroactively to all pre-orders and covering my $40.99 KH3 pre-orders and my Zero Escape 3 watch edition pre-orders.  We'll see in a few days (says it will show up within 5 days) but I would take 20% off those.

Ha, KH3 ( :ps4: & :xb1:) and :vita: ZE3 are the only preorders I have too at Amazon :razz: . Also crazy $32.80 for KH3 on launch whenever the fuck it comes out. Anyways thanks Amazon for price matching Walmart.

edit- checked and I got the email too so that's good.

Yep, I will be quite happy if I get it for $33 at launch. I should probably start playing the series now so that by the time they delay a couple more times from Jan 2017 I'll be almost ready to play it.

Makes me wish there had been more ways out weird prices to take advantage of and just sit on.

Same, need to go through 1.5 and 2.5 and not to mention 2.8 that might be coming this year.

I don't even think their was anything else besides KH3. If there was, I don't even want to know because I'm going to be :wall:

I usually never pre-order anything, but I did pre-order the Zero Escape 3 with the bonus watch. I wonder if that one will be retroactively price dropped. Thanks for reminding me!

Suikoden's been pretty steady for at least a few years.  There's even a complete copy for $27 at the price charting marketplace right now.

 
Grabbed an LN phat Vita for $94, seemed to be a dinger. It's the Venezuelan model. Each countries model is the same other than default language right?

Unfortunately, no.

Downside: These systems are all region locked. In fact, the Venezuelan models require a blood sacrifice of a virgin to even power on.

Upside: You're on CAG and you have access to the largest population of virgins on the internet.

Well if you couldn't tell from the sarcastic reply above, yes the vita is region free. Like you said it may come in Spanish or whatever but you can change that. Good luck!

On top of this, because the Vita was made when Venezuela was still Communist, you are not allowed to purchase games off the PSN store - you can only download state-approved programs about how glorious the leader is, a tutorial on how to cast multiple ballots in elections, and a simulation on how to be a better farmer.

Also, the audio is locked and plays the Tropico theme song on repeat.

Don't even -

*bitter weeping*

OK, anyone want to pay for my plane ticket to go wherever this ritual takes place? *sniffle*

Harvest Moon confirmed for Vita.
