Amazon has some great warehouse deals, and most of their used games are in like new condition (condition listed can be acceptable, good, very good, like new, or new). Please post specific deals you find via Warehouse deals in this thread. Check latest posts for the newest deals, or click the link below.

WIKI: It seems people had a few suggestions from the last thread in terms of updating the OP. I've changed a few things, but if there is anything else you want to change, feel free to do so.

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

alright then that why it wouldn't let you file it yet:

The third-party seller failed to deliver the item by 3 days past the maximum estimated delivery date or 30 days from the order date, whichever is sooner.

so after 3 days after the 19th you should be allowed to file the A-Z claim at that time then so that will be either Friday or Saturday this week.

thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

Have $30 in credit locked with that stupid order >:(

 
I don't follow this thread often, but wanted to share this for anyone who may be interested. 

There was a listing for the Xbox One w/Kinect for $345 in Very Good Condition. I grabbed it, but perhaps another will come along shortly at that price. No idea if that's high or low for AWD though.

Yeah one person did.

I was thinking that person was sexually frustrated and hence why they lift but I guess it was someone else.

So, I ordered an Xbox One and Titanfall off AWD at the same time. System came first and had Titanfall available from previous owner. Couldn't get my cancellation in time so they still sent the physical copy I ordered too.

I bought it for $37.00, but they are apparently going to take about $5 off for returning it. What's my best bet to do with it? I was going to try to Target because of the triple trade in but it came sans manual with reprinted cover art lol. Should I just send it back to Amazon and take the $5 hit?

I was going to post it for the thread but you went to fast lol. I bought a Good condition one for $362.50 last week so you saved almost $20 and went up a condition vs what I got. Mine came in awesome condition though thankfully.

:ps4: PlayStation 4 Console (LN) $296.26
Click to expand...
So 2 days ago around 10:30 or 11 am Pacific I noticed this (or another LN PS4 console at the same $296.26 price) just sitting there as the first item under "New and Popular" in the video game section of Warehouse Deals. I was allowed to add it to my cart and proceed through checkout until the place order button would result in the "item is no longer available" error page. However, I could repeatedly "order" it in such fashion. It never indicated that it was unavailable on the item page or on warehouse deals, just continued to display as one available at that price.

I opened a chat window with amazon and asked them how to go about ordering it, and the CSR person just told me to buy a new one from amazon and they would adjust the price to match the LN WD one. Very happy to be getting a new one at a $100+ discount...

it usually take at least a few days to a week after a game to release before it start appearing on awd I have noticed lately. I know it took MLB 14: The show ps4 awhile before it started making it appearance.

Agreeing with this, you have to at least account for the turnaround for people receiving and sending back or selling their copies to Amazon and then Amazon putting it on the AWD. Unfortunately not all things can be instant.

Edit: Maybe with the drones

Anyone else seeing late delivery estimates for a lot of items?  I have 5 games in my cart, and all of them have a delivery estimate of May 28 with 2-day shipping.  I realize Memorial Day will push deliveries next week, but normally orders on Wednesday are delivered by Friday or Saturday at the latest.  All of these games are showing as in stock and not backordered.

Right now it's after the Wednesday cut off for shipping and is considered Thursday now. That means a normal week Monday unless you get lucky enough to get a Saturday shipment.

I still have just under 2 hours left until the Wednesday cut off (Friday delivery with Prime) based on other Amazon fulfilled items. Plus, I almost always get free Saturday delivery as long as I order before 6PM on Thursdays. I'm guessing the games I was considering were actually backordered despite showing in stock.

The $240 bundle is ok. I have seen that bundle go for $216 ~ $230 so in comparison not that great but not that bad as well.
