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

Snagged a LN FFXIII-2 :ps3: for a little under $9.  A few more spacebucks than I wanted to pay, but at least I can stop paying attention to awd restocks again.

 
I'm curious, especially of DS2U, Eldritch and Vigilante. What is the number of cancelled orders you have in the last 30 days?

I'm at 18.

 
Got a Skylanders 3 pack packaging may be damaged, had no packaging. AWD has sent me something like 5 things in a row in worse condition than described.

I grabbed White Knight Chronicles for $1.xx and Atelier Totori for $4.xx both in LN condition. Missed on Arkham Asylum for $1 AGAIN, lol. Like the 4th time now someone's sniped it from me.

Very nice, jelly bout that Totori. Figures that the little bit that happened went down while I was raiding Target clearance.

Like I've said before, Amazon shouldn't care about canceled orders, only returned ones. At least when we cancel orders, we're saving them money on shipping.

If canceling orders is detrimental to our account, then why does 1-Click come with the 30-minute time limit? Some people might really need that time to think a purchase over and may decide to cancel it because they don't need or want it yet.

I don't know who started saying that in the first place, but I'm saying it wouldn't make sense for canceled orders to count against you.

Exactly and who knows on any of this, no one but Amazon and their LP department or whoever it is making these decisions (assuming it's LP since that's usually who it is at retail stores).

 
I guess it depends. But remember, on the returns/refunds part, during the day, I've noticed you're likely getting a US based rep that "will try" to do due diligence on the "issue" you present. 12 AM EST onwards, you get the foreign reps, which usually result in people robbing Amazon blind/getting their rightful refund. *Not all are bad/good*

I was tempted to buy it. Was the risk worth the reward? I haven't had any experience trading in consoles to Amazon, but I've read horror stories on the Amazon trade in thread that scare me. Just because you buy a "Good" console doesn't mean the grader who takes your trade will think it's "Good." Right? I guess it's just a slight risk of having $120+ of your amazon credit or cash being tied up for a little while.

most of the horror stories people have involve things they bought from other places like CEs, and some of the recent ps3/wii rejections. Generally the boomerangs have gone fine, but there are always some crap graders out there.

My $1.00 "A" Mass Effect 2 was in perfect complete condition as was my Binary Domain. I've been getting lucky with these cheapies (even though it wouldn't matter if it was complete or not for $1.00). I also picked up a D4: A Promise Unforgotten for $4.xx

Stress test it. Run a bluray movie and a PS4 disc based game. Games wise, inFamous Second Son is a good benchmark game.
