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 LN COD Ghosts Prestige Edition for Xbox 360 came in today.  Everything still sealed. It was 36.xx and going by eBay the pass alone is worth that much.  There were 17 listed a few days ago for that price then they vanished by the next day.

 
HAHA. Huge PS4 restock and all the prices went UP. A VG dinger description for $347.28

LN consoles for $372. LOL

Not even worth it at that point, just buy it new.

FFS! Clear dingers, too!



[SIZE=small]Condition: Used - Very Good[/SIZE]

[SIZE=small]Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged. Item has no cosmetic scratches or blemishes. Item has no cracks or dents. All accessories are present and undamaged.[/SIZE]






 
Looking around and it seems the discount is lowered. damn, they hadnt trimmed the discount in awhile. Hopefully it goes back to normal a lot quicker than the times its changed before.
 
I got my (a) touch detective 2 1/2 today, it's missing the cover. I checked the coverproject.com and they didn't have the cover for it. Anyone know anywhere else I can find it? I tried a google image search but was only getting the front image on the cover. Any help appreciated :)
 
Once again, just like prices crash on AWD, they also go up on AWD. AWD is in its high price cycle of algorithm right now. It happened couple of days ago where prices randomly jumped up. Prices will go down abruptly or slowly, but the duration for that is pretty random.

Gamefaqs.com is also a good source. Click on the box art image of any game and you can get a good quality full image usually from the website itself.

Those PS4's may actually be good pickups. The descriptions are all great. Clearly dingers. $50 off a legit new system + no tax is not the hottest deal of all time, but it's still a deal for someone who wants one for, say, MLB14 or Watchdogs or TLOU: Remastered.

I 1-clicked the clear dinger description basically because of what you described. I want MLB Tuesday and was planning to wait for a dinger here or just buy new. It might be worth keeping this dinger and saving 60

 
Well it was fun while it lasted AWD, based on the stock projections, earnings etc, I don't believe we'll see to great of deals for quite a while.

the stocks are only falling cause the board members are concerned amazon is focusing more on the future instead the present. Such as there own delivery trucks and the delivery droids. They are spending more on research and development then on actual customer service and shipping service and other more immediate concern areas and that have the stockholders concern.

Never say never my friend. Good times will be back. What goes up, must come down and vice versa. Cycle of life!

Not sure what specifically you refer of. A few years ago AWD and some other places would put out VG's for a penny. There were some gems. I still have a few. I had an order of like 30 games for under a dollar. I haven't seen anything like that in two years.

Straight from op and Poker himself:

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.



The algorithm cycles we experience now are similar to then, when we get the cheap games and consoles but they haven't dipped that low since that year. That penny thing only happened once again later that same year and hasn't repeated itself since as of yet. I joined this site just around that time but did not partake in it but those who did, man did they make out like a bandit. Thread # 3 is all about the penny deals and the loot of fellow CAGs.
