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

I think if it is Nintendo, you buy new or don't count on them.

Even then...Went to register my kids' DSis and found out that two of the three wouldn't register. One was Japanese. These were bought new from a major retailer. No points for us.

Especially because they're not sealing WiiU systems so you can buy one that someone took the codes out of and returned. At least if you buy it new from a reputable retailer you can exchange or return it if you run into that.

You need to register your wii u through the nintendo shop on the console, there is no "code"

yeah, that is what i meant, i just assume most people consider that the norm now.

Yeah I guess, I don't really care for that though. Garden Warfare reminds me of TF2 in a lot of ways including that it's fast but you don't get one shot and can be getting shot first and still have enough time to react and fight back.

I mean the game codes. You can just open the box and take those right out and it will look like the system was never opened.

Is PvZ:GW any good I bit on an xbone finally whats a good price for the game and is it fun?

Pretty fun game. Worth $30+ IMO, not saying you should spend that much. I spent $20, and I wouldn't mind spending over $30 for it.

Cactus camping with the mines protecting your backside is the best. HAHA, camp all day and cactus snipe FTW

Yep, just dropped $34.99 for the PC DDX edition. And then, a rumor drops today that it is headed for the PS4 (Sly Cooper ad)... Seriously, EA, I can't wait anymore to play your game. :(
 
Just snagged a BL2 PS Vita Bundle.. it was (A) but description seems like a dinger.

Condition: Used - Acceptable
Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Packaging may be damaged. Large mark on disk. Medium mark on item case. Large cut / scratch on item case. Large wrinkle / bend (larger than 1.5 cm)

Safe to assume so?

If you can't clean yourself with normal products that are half as much you've got issues. Or you're going to have a very gross bath tub.

Beware, this is online multiplayer only. If you buy new, it comes with a 2-day trial, otherwise, you're expected to have a gold sub. I took it right back to Best buy once I realized it was online only.

Because it doesn't say "Gold and Hard Drive Required" right on the front of the case.....

 
PvZ Garden Warfare is the worst game I've played since Hail to the Chimp. I find it mind-boggling that anyone could like that game.

I don't think it's the worst game I've played, but it personally didn't appeal to me either. My sister loves it though.

Oh wait, I thought Garden Warfare and the original PvZ game was the same thing. Disregard my post.

Good grief.

It's easy to find cheap x1 or ps4's on here, but those vitas sell out immediately. As quick as they're selling out between AWD and amazon I expect to see those sales off the charts this month.

It's less than a month old, and the discounts are generally a higher percentage. Give it time.

 
Should I have just individually downloaded all my games on to my Vita memory card? I did content manager and have over 27GB getting moved to the Vita. The screen has been on please wait for the last hour and a half. Does this usually takes a real long time?
