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

its early, but my valkyria chronicles says it will be delivered on tuesday, sorry amazon, you want to raise prices on prime, you are gonna have to start delivering on your guarantee of 2 day delivery.

 
Assuming you mean the "Additional $10 each for two XB1/PS4 games", unless it gets extended, it ends on Sunday, FYI.

Oh, and have fun with NBA Live '14! :wave:
Haven't sunk that low, Mr. Putty. And with MLB, if you bought it at gamestop, you can trade it in and upgrade for the ps4 versh. I'm just gonna buy it, get the coupon, and return. Then upgrade with the warehouse copy. $$$

At least I'm not paying anything to play it. :razz:

I don't remember reading about that trade-in offer--is there a page with details?

I'm genuinely interested in trying the show. So hey, first time for everything.
im not trying to burst your bubble, but with the $20 you pay to upgrade, plus the $38, arent you just saving $2 versus just outright buying the ps4 version? granted if you straight buy the ps3 version for $60 and upgrade for $20 that would be $80 total, unless you just really want to play it on ps3 first it seems like a wash.

He might want trophies from both versions.

 
Just snagged a LN 360 bundle, got the money for a boomerang this time! and this one is better condition than the last one.

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.

 
:ps3: Diablo III (A) $22.26

:3ds: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl (G) $18.01
:3ds: Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance (G) $18.56

  Record of Lodoss War (G) $27.46

  Resident Evil Code Veronica (G) $8.10
 

 
Just scored a pair of AKG Q701's for $75.66 (LN). There was no description. Smoking deal though. Plan on using them as a headset with an Astro Mixamp.

You're doing it right! Real headphones, a good noise isolating boom mic, and a used 2013 mixamp from eBay is the way to game IF you can stand all of the cabling involved.

Golds for wireless convenience at a reasonable price and refurb A50's ($199 on amazon) for wireless with better -- but still not audiophile quality -- sound and mic.
 
and you guys hated people that buy to resell. This shit is way more unethical.
truthfully they're probably equally ethical in the grand scheme, so people probably shouldn't get all bent out of shape about one if they're not willing to get bent out of shape about the other.

What's wrong with that deal? Thinking about getting it.
I got a LN which was dongle(less). So, game of chance.

Didn't you say you were going to wait for the possible PS4 remaster?

:xb1: Xbox One Standard Edition - $370.51 (LN)

:360: Madden NFL 25 - $14.99 (LN)
Did I? I doubt they're pulling the manpower from their next gen ME to fund this endeavor so quickly. There have been no rumors, just them throwing out the feelers. Naughty Dog went to work non-stop after TLOU PS3 was finished so they could ride in the coattails of the game being a hit and keep the momentum going for the remaster. Granted, maybe I'm buying in the ME hype train we have had lately, but if I can squeeze the time, I'll make the most out of the purchase.

Fairly common for studios to outsource remasters to outside studios, so who knows.
