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

His unboxing were always fun to watch because they had a little bit of dirty south mixed with his AWD and thrift store pickups.

Bol promoted his rap game on CAG lol. Even the youtubers asking him.

 
you guys think it would be ok to trust a good raiting on a 3ds xl Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Packaging may be damaged.  

saying that? it's 150

The Dream Team one? It's possibly a dinger and the game's pre-installed so it's not like a code someone would have taken. I would say as far as it being in good shape and with the game the odds are in your favor at least.

 
a dinger as in box or system i could careless if box is dinged.  is amazon warehouse return policy the same as amazon's normal return policy never really order high ticket items before just cheap games i would never return.

Depends on if you have credit on Amazon or elsewhere. Target sells the 3DS XL for $150 once in awhile. Include that Red Card discount and a new 3DS XL is a pretty nice deal. Cash flow and the desire as to when to play the 3DS library would be my determining factors.

Yeah a dinger is an item that's basically new but has damaged packaging or something similar so it's sold as new. Return policy is same as normal.

Anything over 325 for a used PS4 is a tough sell, especially when AWD had them for 296 when I got mine. May as well pay the extra 53 bucks and get new.
Sorry for using this thread for Amazon warehouse deals and helping others here. $347 for a dinger is a pretty dang good deal IMO. Guess I'm done with this thread, thanks ChuckVsWorld

He was just giving his opinion, no need to get emotional. IMO $347 is a bit much for this thread, considering they have been had for as low as $250. AWD prices fluctuate and right now they are "mostly" at one it's highest points yet.
 
Didn't realize telling someone to hold off on buying something in hopes of a dinger was a sensitive topic. I only get that emotional when AWD puts those stickers on my game boxes.

Why did I just buy a VG copy? I don't even like basketball...
1. There weren't any Acceptables left?

2. The price isn't bad for a PS4 game that hasn't seen a noticeable discount until now ($39.99 new)?

...

Got a dinger :ps3: Nier for $20 after burning some AMZ credit.

Can't believe how hard it is to find that game. eBay prices are crazy. None in any nearby GameStops. So I'm happy.

That actually might be one of the two copies I traded in through Amazon. I never sent in an incomplete copy, though I did use a black PS3 game case with the more recent copy (as opposed to clear).

Description said there was a slight bend/wrinkle on the cover. As well as the usual activation codes/DLC may already be used, yada yada yada.

I played it a few years ago on my brother's 360. I'm pretty excited to see what I end up getting.
