F.A.Q's

Spoiler

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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"?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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.

Any tips on finding deals?

Spoiler

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:

(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:

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!

"Item may come repackaged" means no case or codes.

That being said, this game came out yesterday. I'm not sure how someone could have traded it in. I'd probably take a chance on it if you feel like you are good on returns.

one day after release the odds of that being anything other than a dinger are extremely slim

The Division Gold Edition was for sale at Best Buy for months.  Yesterday the game was $80 after prime discount on Amazon.  One day after release you're a fool for not buying it yesterday while it was still in-stock.  If it doesn't come with all the codes well congrats you just paid $77 for a $48 game.

It's worth the gamble?  That's an absurd perspective.

 

[realbigexplosion]

We get it, you don't want to risk it.  Some people might, so the option was presented to them.  They can return the game and eat the shipping cost, so the risk is hardly as costly as you're suggesting.  

Anyways, hooray for options.

It's not a gamble at all. AWD accepts returns.

If the person keeps it at that price without being able to activate the codes, they're crazy. They can easily return it if the codes were redeemed.

 

[doug_brit]

Out of curiosity, how much do Wii U go for in the warehouse. I was patiently waiting for nintendo  to drop the price to $150-$100 like when the gamecube was floundering. I guess the parts together are just too expensive for nintendo to cut.

I would love to buy a Wii U refurb from nintendo, but with the price of their games. I can buy 6 games if I'm patient on Xbox/PS for the msrp price of a wii game.

Out of curiosity, how much do Wii U go for in the warehouse. I was patiently waiting for nintendo to drop the price to $150-$100 like when the gamecube was floundering. I guess the parts together are just too expensive for nintendo to cut.

They hover very close to $200. Seems like Nintendo has been doing a great job managing supply for these. I don't foresee a major price cut, unless you get lucky. I believe the gamepad is keeping the price high.

You can sometimes find the Mario Kart Bundle dipping just below $200, most go for between $200 and $250.

Thank guys, That sounds good to me if I can get a Mario Kart bundle for around $200. I can play that game for weeks and not burn out. I still play Double dash and love it.

Be careful with that. The recent MK8 bundles contain the game "pre-installed" so if the original user moved it to a new console, it's just the system. Be on the lookout for closeouts. Last March, GS clearanced the Skylanders 8GB bundle for $200. Got it for $180 after buying discounted gift cards. 32GB isnt much better than 8GB. If you want DLC or digital games, you will need an external drive for either system.

Do you know if you can contact amazon if you receive the Wii U but the game is not pre-installed but they advertise it as pre-installed?

Don't be that guy
I'm serious
Amazon will hate you.
The system has that splattered on the packaging so AMZ was screwed regardless.
Unnecessary banishment could occur from that call
But if you want.... Yes you can, and they will likely credit you the price of the game. If they do though, be a good sport and buy the game

 

[doug_brit]

Whoa guys, lets deescalate this. I don't expect anything but the console if I'm buying refurb or warehouse. 

I don't think there was malaise intended. Ha, to be fair I have anxiety issues so I am always super polite to everyone to not let it show.

Oh, and I just saw a thread that Super Mario 3D is going to the "greatest hits" price of $20!

I've actually been debating on picking one up just to play the Mario games. I can wait and hope they hit 150ish

Must had been my wife because she's been telling her coworkers that I'm a pedophile because I watch cartoons and play video games. I'm surprised CPS hasn't knocked on my door.

my wife left me prob. caz I gave all my time to anime and video games, and didn't give her any attention. Last time we ran into each other she goes: "Are you still watching these Chinese cartoons?" ... *face palm

 

[detectiveconan16]

When will our wives/husbands learn that:

My wife asked me what was the new game I was playing on my 3ds. I wanted to say:

It's hatsune miku. You pick a 16 year old you keep in an apartment and buy outfits for.

I wasn't sure how to describe that I can buy her snacks, that I watch her eat for a creepy long time...

 

[Deserter Goose]

I've actually been thinking about getting one of these lately and wouldn't you know it, one appears. Unfortunately, Acceptable items make me wary:

Action Replay PowerSaves Pro (A) $12.92
Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U and PC USB, 4 Port (LN) $10.78

 

[ZeroGame]

AWD is like a box of chocolates. Descriptions mean nothing.

Turns out that 3ds was dinger. Not even a smudge on the handheld. The base plate wasn't put on right so prolly done during the inspection.

 

[Deserter Goose]

Still find it funny how much shadow dragons gone up in price since awakening made fire emblem popular. Wonder if the trade in value is still 35$ Nope seems it dropped to 14.

The pricing is all over the place on eBay - I'm seeing cartridge-only copies going for $18 and at least one complete one going for over $70, while there are others that are somewhere in between. Not often I see something that randomly priced.

 

[amusedtoe]

GS self cart only so it's not too hard to get a hold of but complete is a different story.

It may not be game but I scored Star Wars Episode IV - VI  Blu-Ray Collection (Good) for 26.xx.

And, of course, it's accompanied by another Amazon Warehouse Deals Unboxing Video!

Great video!

Random question for everyone.  I bought a N3ds from amazon warehouse.  Want to sell it now..

I downloaded super mario land and afew other games.  Is there a way for me to keep that digital game without buying a new N3ds?

I just want to sell the handheld because I need the money.

As far as I know, you typically need another 3DS with you to do transfers on your own, but I've heard of others calling Nintendo's support line and getting them to do transfers that after they've sold/lost their old systems; if you do that, you'll typically want your old 3DS's serial number, as well as a list of what items you've bought on that account. I don't believe you can just log in with your NNID on your next 3DS and get your games that way, though I may be wrong - Nintendo's account system is a little messy.

For future reference, when you're buying a new one, keep in mind that you can't transfer from a New 3DS to the older models.

Thanks for making these videos. Great job.

Can i Transfer to a 2ds? I just don't really like the 3d.. give me a headache.

According to Nintendo, you can't.

 

[Pengy99]

3D bugs me too. I just turn it off. Thought about a 2ds till I actually saw one in person. Not a fan.

 

[whoknows]

Terrible. 2DS is the best one.
