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

got a LN $296 ps4 - how have these been coming in to people, condition-wise? many people getting defective units??

the one LN I got wouldn't turn on (blue pulsing only) so I sent it back. The other one that I got that worked perfectly was a VG but was clearly used but in excellent condition, no visible scratches. The last VG one received was DOA (didn't turn on) and it's on it's way to Sony TX for warranty work. Had part of the glossy part scratched but nothing really deep. Wanted to see how that process worked and turnaround times. So far, took two weeks to get the coffin to me. Sony didn't have an explanation on why FedEx took so long to send it.

Mine had a faulty disc drive (got my box and sent it out for repair today) and had a bit of light scratching on the top and bottom, but otherwise seemed to be fine.

 
Does anyone know if Amazon Promotional Credit can be used for AWD or just items sold by Amazon.com? I am using only from the .com right?

a selfish horder like that is the type who deserve there packages to get lost or stolen off there front porch to teach there ass not to be so selfish. If others ordered groups like that then it no wonder the sale died so fast the first day and stuff ran out stock. I got nothing against getting a few extras for flipping and stuff but to take it to that extreme which is alot more then a few extra and not giving people who actually want the games to play them a chance to is a bit much.

It was a store glitch before they fixed it. Buy 2 $30 games get a $60 game free. Example: Fifa 14 and AC4 for $30 each and get Wolfenstein free. He paid $20 a game basically. Dude bought at least 40 and he still has some coming in

I don't see the purpose here, maybe it's because I don't flip.

Games like AC4 and FIFA are only worth about $30 now, assuming he sells for $30, that's about $6 loss in shipping and fees. Add another $2 or so for the tax on the original purchase. So two games result in a $12-$15 loss. Assuming the $60 game sells for $55, that's about $47 net after shipping and fees. So $27 in profit, minus the previous loss it is about $12-15. So selling three games for $12-15....?
 
Has anyone bought :xb1: / :ps4: Trials Fusion from AWD and received everything (game disc + season pass voucher)? I know it's a crapshoot when it comes to games with DLC vouchers.

Yes, I bought an Xone copy and got both. A couple other people I know bought PS4 copies and got both. I know mine was a clear dinger description and pretty sure the others were as well.

:wiiu: Wii U: Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker bundle - Like New $285.27

Can't bring myself to pull the trigger on it, someone else do it please.
Click to expand...
that actually pretty high for that bundle especially not knowing if the download code is inside and unused especially at only a $15 discount when it readily available in retail locations and since with Mario kart 8 released now with the free download promo attatched to it you would be better off buying one the other bundles when they hit $200 to $250 sale price again and buying Mario kart 8 and getting Zelda download code free.
