Amazon has some great warehouse deals, and most of their used games are in like new condition (condition listed can be acceptable, good, very good, like new, or new). Please post specific deals you find via Warehouse deals in this thread. Check latest posts for the newest deals, or click the link below.

WIKI: It seems people had a few suggestions from the last thread in terms of updating the OP. I've changed a few things, but if there is anything else you want to change, feel free to do so.

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

Lol. So there's a 5 out of 6 chance that the AWD PS4s will work? ;) I'm over-thinking the analogy.

I'm very curious of your opinion. What do you think the fail rate is for AWD PS4 consoles from what you've read on here? Or at least in the past few weeks?
Think it would depend on the grade. My LN works fine, but a lot of VGs are DOA. It's not grade exclusive though, according to some posters.

 
I don't remember who I was talking to on here about Hastings, but I got my new game today. It was repackaged and the club nintendo points used :( I'm debating putting in a complaint)

Same thing happened when I got a 'new' MH Ultimate from there too. Their 'new' games are a farce.

That sucks. And if LN are $296 now, and I have to pay tax in my state... I might as well buy brand new at GS.

I'm starting to think I might as well save up some GS credit with all of the promotions they've been running and buy a new PS4 tax free with trade credit and powerup coupons. It will cost more but I will have piece of mind knowing there's nothing wrong with the console. Does this make sense to anyone else?

it was me and that strange make me want to check my points then. Anyone know a way to check club Nintendo points without redeeming them?

Ah k.

No, I don't know how to check without redeeming unfortunately. I was trying cause I wanted one of the Eshop games for this month, and got got with a big 'ol "points have been redeemed" notice from nintendo :(
 
So is the general consensus that Xbox One's are safe from AWD? Has there been a lot of problem with those? I know the PS4's are iffy, but haven't heard a lot about the One.

I only remember about hearing 1 or 2 problems with the xbone's from AWD, nothing like the PS4s.

i think i recall a few people saying that it didn't come with the kinect or something, but not that the system was DOA

 
Got my (VG) GAEMS Vanguard Personal Gaming Environment, Black - PlayStation 4   delivered today. Came brand new was a dinger. Not bad for $100 off retail price, and this one is so sexy compared to the G155. This 19' screen is to legit lol.

Sending my G155 back as a trade in so who knows, that might show back up on AWD for less once again

Hmm I wonder if Amazon will now compensate me $100 for buying one that had the Kinect.

My Xbone was one of those not for resale ones, graded as acceptable, had a bunch of scuff marks on it but works fine.

 
I just bought Call of Duty Ghosts Hardened Edition for the PS4 for $9.60.

Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Missing shrink-wrap, activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Large cut/scatch on set case.
I'm assuming all DLC codes will be used up and box in bad condition? But all I wanted was COD Ghosts cheap.

 
There was still another one up when I posted the link but it went quick after. Next time I'll post link first and go back to edit with the commentary so there is more time. I'm new to this so sorry guys lol.

Truth is the numbers will be skewed due to AWD recirculating some that should have been sent to Sony. Hence, if even one that had BLOD and looked brand new out of the box got back into circulation, and got bought and sent back, will have 2 failure rate reading for the same console. The NFS (not for sale) ps4s thrown in the mix really distorted the fail rate since they ended up joining the fray with higher return rate due to having some form of issue with them. That is why I don't trust them at the moment if the description says anything like "item was tested and fully functional" in there somewhere. Those could be returns and or trade ins.

Nice score and thanks for your contributions. Keep them coming. :)

Staying on topic:

:ps3: Dark Souls II Collector's Edition (A) $59.71 (G) $64.68 (VG) $69.66(LN) $74.64

:360: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (LN) $25.17

Thanks DS2U, is it possible that the (A) is a dinger?
It is very possible going by the last sentence in the description:

Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Missing shrink-wrap, activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Large crack on boxed set case.

 
Are there no mods up in this place? I volunteer as tribute.
I really think the mods want everyone to use the ignore feature and fend for themselves. Seriously, as much off topic stuff that happens, a mod will have his hands full just between the major threads. At the same time the other thread that spun out of control with BBOD proved how much modding is going on around here since it is still active.

 
Thanks DS2U. I eventually resisted. I don't want the statue to be damaged or anything. 

Since it doesn't seem to be going rare I will continue to wait, but thanks though.
