F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
Warehouse Deals is part of amazon that has open box, generally like new items.

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

I'm waiting for a 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... 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 condition are products from Warehouse Deals generally in?
Usually, games are re-shrinked wrap and almost in perfect condition. Any game i have personally ever bought has in like new condition. However, 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 are in not so great condition, but generally have a working game disc.

Here is an example of a like new handheld (PS Vita) - Thanks Slixshot

I did the swap on the last day of the promotion. It's really as good as it sounds. In some states (like mine) you still have to pay tax on purchases paid for with credit so I ended up just having to pay $20 for the swap, which is still pretty unbeatable. You just need to put up with lots of "is it broken?" and "why are you trading this in for a new one?" questions.

I have the free PUR account since I go into a GameStop once maybe every 3 years, but I ended up earning about 12300 points for trading in the console and buying a new one. Not too shabby since the account has been stuck at 760 points since I bought Rage at launch.

Yup yup. I just explained to them that my wife had given me the console for my birthday, it's a used console, and with the current promotion it makes sense to trade it in for a new one. The Gamestop was cool once they realized I could get a brand new one for trading in the used one (I don't think they had a lot of PS4s traded in there).

 
When I traded mine in for a Titanfall bundle I just said I bought it from a buddy but since I have a PS4 of my own I decided to get an X1 instead. You can also just say you got it used off Craiglist and would feel better with a new one and the warranty. Valid reasons that the employee should respect.

So long as you're not breaking any laws/rules then you really shouldn't worry about what questions anyone asks you. Only thing a GS employee should worry about is doing his/her job by checking to see if the system works and processing the trade. Way too many entitled employees at that store.

My GS did not check my backup ps3 and 360. They giggled when i asked if they were going to test them. This scared me to buy used hw now. They store them in the bathroom to.... It brought back memories of that bathroom mythbusters ep..

 
or just say the truth "i got it from amazon but it was used and even though it works fine, i'd really feel more comfortable with a new one with a warranty."

I heard some people are still getting the 50% bonus. I got my like new from amazon. It works fine so far but I'd really prefer a new one. Think I'll try today

"I'm sorry sir, we don't accept consoles from other retailers, especially not Amazon. It's corporate policy; See Section 14707, Provision C. You cannot trade this in, so please stay put while we take a picture of you and distribute it to other GameStops on a national level." - GameStop Employee

 
Grabbed the $277 VG PS4.  Here is the description:

Condition: Used - Very Good
 

Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item has been tested to be fully functional. Item will come repackaged. All accessories are present and undamaged


Only concern I have is the repackaged.  Worst case, I can trade it in at GS or send it back if stuff is missing.  Probably won't have the PSN credit.  We'll see.

My guess is that is someone's trade in. Gamestop still has the steal of the week if you get it before the week is over you'll get $415 for it.

Probably won't get here in time (don't want pay for faster shipping and don't have Prime) but I will pull a SOTW coupon just in case the automatic 50% reported this week goes away. Still a good bit of profit as long as the TIV holds.

 
:ps3: Prototype 2 - $6.08 (G)

I 1-clicked quite a few things, though the delivery date for some of them is a bit...odd (all :360: : $1.62 AC:B - Friday, $2.39 Amalur - Monday, $2.13 MW3 - Tuesday, $1.64 ME3 - May 12th?! :shock:).

I also snagged a $2.24 Dead Space ( :360:), $4.24 Warioworld ( :gc:), and Skyrim ( :360:).

Hopefully whoever got that $32.17 Good DKC:TF isn't a GCU member, because it'll be $31.99+tax at Best Buy next week with GCU.

Lots of $1/$2 games. Missed a couple but got a lot of them. I tried to post most of them but it cost me grabbing some of the ones I didn't get. Hope others were able to get in on them.

 
Hmm is there an easier way to find the cheap games besides clicking through all the pages? Sorted low to high definitely doesn't work..
 
For those of you with newly-acquired BC PS3s thanks to the AWD restock last week, this might be of interest to you:

PS1 / :ps2: MGS: The Essential Collection - $22.17 (G), $25.58 (LN)

It comes with the original MGS on a physical PS1 disc (all PS3s can play PS1 discs). Note that it isn't like the Legacy Collection--specifically, it doesn't include MGS4 or Peace Walker, just MGS 1-3.

I was able to grab Ass Creed Brotherhood, Kindoms of Amular, Final Fantasy X-2, and Sims 3 all for $1/$2 all in (G) condition. Off the top of my head I know I missed out on Max Payne 3, Rage, Lego Indiana Jones, and Wario World (it was $4).

Hopefully people post them, but in the madness of a re-stock don't count on it. Sorting low to high doesn't work like you said. You can watch the counters on the side, but during a big restock your probably best to go through the pages while also checking in this thread and hopefully others will post those deals.

I picked one up a little bit ago for 7.63 and am trying to decide whether or not to keep it. Doesn't seem like as good a deal as I thought after the 3.67 price...
Click to expand...
If you really want to play it, I'd keep what you got because it would be difficult to get a copy for even that $7.63 price elsewhere. It's not a good idea to hold out for those random low prices because they're all but impossible to predict.
