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

I'm trying to cancel the PS4 Camera (LN) I got yesterday, it says shipping estimate is Tuesday, April 29 but it is in Shipping Now status. :twoguns:

 
Does anyone know how much the Xbox One standard version usually goes for on AW?

Bought that RE5 Xbox 360 bundle. Should I be worried about the condition? Never bought a console from Amazon Warehouse.

it a fat one so they are prone to failures more common then the newer xbox 360 models but it does have the jasper chip so that lower the risk of rrod some but not completely. And with Acceptable condition there is a possibility of it being the console only. Since acceptable means that items can be missing. When the 120GB were $22 few months back some people ended up receiving only the console with no controller or nothing and others the console and wires only without controller. So there is no guarantee it will arrive complete which is why they list stuff like that as acceptable. And the game is not guaranteed to come with it either.

My PS4 I ordered last night already shipped. Hopefully it works this time. Would hate to return another one in a span of 2 weeks.

Didn't you go through the tutorial before attempting to make waffles? That's like endbreakfast content.

maybe this is just how they are doing things now? Instead of massive restocks.

There were always trickles before but what's telling to me is that when a couple good things do pop up it seems to be in mass quantity.

The 19th we had Skyrim/Orange Box/FIFA 13/Arkham City/Xbox Elites and a couple other things but not a full restock, just dozens of those items. March 5th there were a crazy amount of PS4s. Then we're actually back to January 17th for the night we had Tomb Raider CEs/Metro Last Lights. Then we're back to the start of the major drought in early October. Obviously there's been other similar flashes here and there but isn't that crazy? It's been over 6 months since we had a true major restock like we had gotten several times over the summer.

That was when Amazon was selling new copies for $39.99; now that the new price is back up to $49.99, the used prices have risen accordingly.

To bad they cancelled 2 of them on me and now the price has went up. They've cancelled more orders then they've shipped me recently :(

How come? I thought people would be happy about this, even though it is limited...
I have HBOgo so I could care less about it though.

It's nice to be able to watch some of the older shows without paying for their crazy disc prices or having to pirate. It's that the stuff most people would actually want to watch is naturally stuff you'll have to buy/rent.

Haven't seen it but it's on my list. If Carnivale ends up being free to stream I highly recommend it, one of my favorite shows of all time. Was cut down after two of the six planned seasons so there's a ton that's just left hanging but I love what it was building to and weaving in that time.

Ooo, can't wait for some dingers. Guess we're having to buy another set with a new portal... Notice that they've added in another thing to buy? Wonder if they're going to sell those trap bits separately like the power things in Disney Infinity. Yep, bet that's going to be the case.
