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

Can anyone comment on a "very good" PS4 they have gotten? Said packing damaged, and small imperfection on the top of the console and accessories, and just not sure what to expect.

Sounds like it's not a diner, might want to take a chance, but don't expect a new console.

Well it's always a coin flip, regardless of whether it is "Good" or "Like New". I've gotten stuff that is apparently "Acceptable" and it turns out to be literally brand new & sealed, just with a small crack on the case.

I ordered a Very Good PS4 from Amazon awhile back, and it came with the retail box, manual, cables, crappy headset, everything pretty much. But the PS4 had a bad rattling sound inside, as if there was a small screw or something just tripping around. Had to return it.

Now, according to the description you gave. Small imperfections are probably talking about the glossy top part of the PS4, so that will probably have some minor scratches, which arguably is a pretty hard thing to avoid if you buy used.

Either way there's no point in worrying, All you can do is hope that comes in good condition, which it should. People here have had for the most part, good luck with their PS4 purchases.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I have gotten spoiled over the years, with my psp, 3ds, ds and vita all coming in original packaging and sealed from the warehouse, so just hoping for the best!

Gone, but this is $30 brand new.

Is it any good? Seriously. Never played it, got no idea what it is. All I know is a lot of people were butthurt at the ending of part 3.

I got a backlog from hell, so if it's a decent game I will pass, but if it's a must play game I may look into it.

A month ago the PS4s I got were in great condition. Listed as (VG), only had one problem with one where the Blu-Ray drive was not functional, but I got it repaired through Sony warranty for free. I just ordered 2 PS4s, one's defective (BLOD) despite the description:

Condition: Used - Very Good
Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item has been tested to be fully functional. Item will come repackaged. All accessories are present and undamaged.

The other has gashes on the top of the system as if someone went at it with a screwdriver:
Condition: Used - Very Good
Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item has been tested to be fully functional. Small (less than ¼" x ¼") cosmetic imperfection on front of item. Small (less than ¼" x ¼") cosmetic imperfection on top of item. Small (less than ¼" x ¼") cosmetic imperfection on bottom of item. All accessories are present and undamaged.

Yeah, it's a must play series despite the criticisms towards the ending. I have no idea what you've been waiting for honestly.
 
Buying a used controller period let alone from Amazon Warehouse Deals (they don't sell new stuff)? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I got one from Gamefly a while back that would freeze mid game with the could not load / disc may be dirty message. The surface of the disc is perfect. There may be issues with the printing of this game.
 
I can't believe I've got my second PS4 in 3 days, however I'm not so sure this one is a dinger, via bolded part. Any insight DS2U? Or anyone who ordered one with this description:

"Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item has been tested to be fully functional. Item is in original packaging, but packaging has damage. All accessories are present and undamaged."

I really wish Amazon would implement an amount restriction.

Soooo.......you posted it on here and then bought it before anybody else could? What was the purpose of that?

Not trolling, just a guy looking for a PS4 who got excited after your first post and then disappointed after clicking the link.

Good luck finding it amigo...

This thread and forum has turned into flippingassholegamer.com

 
If it's any consolation chances are the PS4 probably won't work. They're not hard to find. Just keep at it and you'll get one.
