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

yea target got into it real bad with amazon about two years ago and clearance out all the Amazon Kindles dirt cheap and anything to do with Amazon was either clearance out or probably trashed lol. and they haven't carried amazon gift cards or kindles or anything similar since then.

 
By the Way Does Anyone Else Remember that New IP Game called "SADNESS" that they were making for the Old Nintendo Wii probably 3 to 4 years ago, maybe a bit farther back? that was unique but never happened cause of so many delays?

I got mine for $375 like new. They generally come in between $350-400.

I have seen the standard ones lately go for $296 (A) $321 (G) $356 (VG) and $371 (LN). The Day One Edition's have popped up between $321 and $410. Once the $399 xb1's pop up expect the used variant's to go along the lines of ps4's current used pricing of $221 (A) , $256 (G), $276 (VG), and $296 (LN)

Go crazy during the next B2G1.

Like Eld said, go crazy on their next promo or you could save the credit for BFriday and go crazy then. Worse comes to worse, you can buy games of equal value and trade at either Best Buy or GS and get kindle GC but personally I would keep that credit for a better opportunity coming our way and Target opportunities are gold.

yeah I know you can buy kindle cards at gs to transfer gs credit to amazon credit but I'm not sure they've come up with ways to do anything but that. 

Besides buying a game then trading into one of the other 2.

Thank you for the links. There were no $73 (A) Kindle Fire HD 7", HD Display, Wi-Fi, 16 GB left, so I ended up purchasing one of the $77.87 (G) ones. I actually had been strongly tempted by the Kindle Fire HDX 7" because I want to see the Quantum Dots Display technology in action, but if I want to look at a portable with a gorgeous screen, I can always go play my original PlayStation Vita. I can see this Kindle Fire HD 7" being useful as a tablet, but I am mostly looking forward to actually getting some of the Kindle Fire exclusive Special Offers the most.

I am pretty new to tablets in general. Do CAG's have any advice on what to put on the Kindle Fire HD to get the most use out of it? Thank you in advance. :)

HD DVD or bust.

This is one of my favorite television series of all time along with Firefly and Game of Thrones. Even though the HD DVD price is hard to beat, I consider the Blu-Ray version to be worth it if you are a fan of science fiction. Of course, you can probably stream the complete television series and its specials on Amazon Prime Instant Streaming or Netflix, so buying physical media for it is really only recommended if you want the extra boost in graphic fidelity or feel compelled to support the content creators of awesome things so that they should maybe think about making more awesome things in the future. ;)

 
It's routinely cheaper on Amazon UK region free, like $55 shipped I think, and it might be the nicer packaged version but not sure of that. I just can't even bring myself to spend that much though. Mainly because I have access to it through at least Netflix and I just don't watch the movies I buy unless it's something I can watch with my kid.

Yeah, it's definitely a series I would recommend for mature audiences. It never aired on any of the premium cable channels, so it never truly does anything that would get it a "R" rating, but many of the storylines revolve around topics that are fairly difficult. However, you should definitely watch it sometime on Netflix or Amazon Prime Instant Streaming, Eldritch! The soundtrack by Bear McCreary for the series was phenomenal as well, with many outstanding songs if you like orchestral music at all.

Thanks! Hopefully. It's weird though, since when does AWD charge tax in Florida? Hmm, a $20 extra I wasn't expecting to pay?

Since May 1st, I believe. They have 2 distribution centers there now.

EDIT: Construction is in process, so you're paying tax and not even receiving the benefits of having a local distribution center yet.
