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

Why? I heard those were cheap as hell compared 2 the old slim. Come on Baby g wants some quads 2 pop up

Smaller, more compact and uses less moving parts theoretically meaning a longer lifespan for the console. It is also more energy efficient. The only reason I wouldn't recommend one is if you are planning to put it under a cabinet since it would be difficult to access the disc. To me the PS3 model to get is either a BC PS3 or the Super Slim.

 
Unless you're keeping your PS3 where something's going to fall on the top of it or leaning on the disc cover frequently it should be fine.  Yeah it's more plastic feeling then the slim but it's perfectly fine, quieter (mostly passive cooling) and probably more energy efficient.

How much difference between the slim and super slim? I do like the design of the regular ol' slim. Looks sexy as hell.

Edit: I was talking about wattage/power consumption. Maxes out at 60, being the slim comes in 250W, 230W and 200W, while the Super Slim is 190W. I'll stick with my babeh.

Yeah, if you have a slim and it's perfectly fine there's no reason to change. It's definitely the more premium looking/feeling system. I was more pointing out that the super slim is a perfectly fine system if you're in the market to buy one and that's what you're going to probably find the best deals on whether new or a dinger.

 
i have been watchin for quads all day in between chatting online with some ladyboyz. baby g loves a chick with somethin extra

 
I think it's time to make this night a little more interesting...with ice cream of course.

Well that was scary.  I somehow accidentally ordered a crazy expensive monitor earlier while discussing monitors with someone and only just not realized when I only had $2 in Amazon credit.  Was shipping now but fortunately it cancelled.

Hmm, looked up from Forza and saw a Trials and one clicked it.  Absolutely generic description though, don't think this will be a good purchase at $30.

"Condition: Used - Like New

Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase."

yeah, i saw it and didnt go for it, game itself is only $20, so if you dont get the $20 season pass with the physical version you're losing money. who knows though, alot of the things i get with generic descriptions have unused dlc

Exactly. I think my price point to gamble on it is $25 since then it's a fairly minimal loss worst case scenario. I threw it back.

 
Bah I bought a DS2 CE for $71. I should have waited since it will be a while before I can play it. Anywho picked up a VG GBA FF4 for $9.15 which is fine if they don't crush it. Hopefully they ship it with the Giants Citizen Cabuto I picked up for a $1.50.

I just ordered a Ragnarok Odyssey ACE for $28 but looking at reviews thinking I might cancel it.

Are hack-and-slashes not your type of thing? The only reviews I could see changing your mind relate to pointing out how the gameplay isn't completely RPG-like (no experience points, lackluster/barely existent plot), but the game itself seems to score well for DW/action fans.

I was thinking this the other day, maybe the blind-ordering, canceling later is what had amazon raising flags on you? The message was something about looking like a reseller, right?
Click to expand...
That would be dumb, since the ability to edit/cancel orders within 30 minutes of placement is a prominent aspect of 1-Clicking. Eldritch admitted he's returned a lot of things (as in things that were actually shipped out to him), not canceled them.
