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

God damn gotta get me a tablet to get some of these deals

Or just get a coffee maker from AWD instead. I bought one a few weeks back for $7.XX MRSP like ~$55-60. Brand New

I also bought a good 15bar espresso machine from AWD about 3 months ago for $44 and was also brand new.

Funny thing is that I'm not a real coffee drinker, just for when people visit and family stays at my apt. I do love making the frothed milk and doing the designs though :) I tend to use the frothed milk part of the espresso machine for some of my sweeter teas though.

I want to order this Professor Layton game from Nextworth, but the condition keeps switching from acceptable to like new throughout the day at the same price point, so it's kinda making me wary about buying it... It's switched AT LEAST 6 times in the last two days...

Anyway, here's a non-deal.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 3DS for $8.90 like new. Or $9.99 new.

I guess that's something when it takes them 5-7 days to get me stuff half the time anyway?

Somehow $1 in video content doesn't seem of the same value as opting out of the main reason you paid for Prime. If it's like past AIV credits they probably won't stack together either and you'll only be able to use $1 off anything. AIV is that awful one click only checkout too so you don't even see that until you've already bought it.

if it stack can you imagine how many credit everyone here could build up just with cheap $1 or $2 games that everyone usually get anyhow or the generic under $1 items
 
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but does anyone remember if Amazon promotional credit (i.e., not gift card credit) is refunded for an order to which it was applied? I want to preorder something, but because I might change my mind about buying it, I would rather not spend promo credit on it (though I'm fine with using GC credit).

If I can preorder some other random thing and apply the promo credit to it, preorder the item I'm contemplating, then cancel the other preorder and get my promo credit back, I'll do so.

it depends, if it's the generic promo credit or the promo is still active, then yes. But I have some of mine where the promo is long over and it now says coupon on the billing summary, those i wouldn't chance

^Great price if you don't have a PS3 to get the ICO / Shadow of the Colossus Collection.
Click to expand...
Yea, or if you want the game on the original hardware or collection purposes. Definitely a great deal but it is a good idea to make sure people understand the ICO collection on PS3 is extremely cheap as well.

Edit: Some cheap Xbox 360 cases:

:360: High School Musical 3 Senior Year Dance (New) $0.84

Its amazing how much the value on the original ps2 ico dropped since the PS3 collection came out. I remember when it was 50-60 used.
Click to expand...
I'm pretty sure I paid $20 for it used from GS and thought it was a steal at the time. At least I played it before the PS3 collection came out, which, of course, I bought, but have yet to play!

Do wii U's drop below $200 on here or am I better off buying a refurb from Nintendo direct for $200
Click to expand...
I'd go with the Nintendo refurb based on a lot of the impressions I've read on various forums. A lot of people believe they may be new stock that Nintendo bought back from retailers. With the year warranty and overall impressions I'd say go with Nintendo refurbs.

If you have a KMart near I'd try to grab the WWHD bundle for $180 over both, but that may not be an option for you.
