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

That's not a CAG-wide thing?

It is now. Everyone, we're calling him Vag now.

same here. everything was new though and the only difference was the refurb box and no cradle or stand which is $6 at amazon total.
Mine came in a spanish box version that did not include the stand/cradle like the US deluxe version, which I bought from TRU clearance for 60 cents. I think that they actually were new that had to be rebought back stock as someone had mentioned.

finally got my stuff from the post office.  My legaia 2 was new an sealed just like I expected. pokemon trozei was vg at least since it came with everything despite being listed acceptable.  shame they couldn't of been a bit cheaper but eh.

 
If it was the cheap one from a couple days ago there was only one in stock deal seeker posted it and it went fast in under a minute so idk where multiples are coming in at
 
Three of my Infamous 2 Hero Editions arrived. One is complete. I'm waiting for me four other ones. Gonna make the big bucks.
UPS guy just left, the entire truck was filled with my 1,987 copies. Only 1,263 were complete, which totally sucks. @#%&-+!? driver was complaining about having a bad back and wouldn't even bring the pallets into the garage. I'm going to order something cheap and give him a bad review.
 
how much are each worth on ebay?
I don't know.

Are you for real? IF so, 2 incomplete? what were they A or G, missing? I'm watching this item, you going to return any of them?
A. I'm not giving you any of them. There were four A but someone got one.

exacty lol and eh speaking of awd drought I'm a little surprise with all the quietness that pepsiman haven't tried making his usual once a month appearance either lol
What does that mean?

Also, pepsiman is not a once month thing.

Nah he needs an audience to interact with and if no one's looking at the thread there's no audience before his presence is nuked from existence.
 
Good to know since I was planning on getting one but this helps out knowing which one to jump on.

Someone may find these useful:

Certified Refurbished Kindle Fire HD 7", HD Display, Wi-Fi, 8 GB - Includes Special Offers (A) $78.64 (G) $83.88
So, I jumped on this deal back then and got the unit couple of days ago. I went for the acceptable one that said:

"Minor cosmetic imperfection on top, front or sides of item. Back has cosmetic imperfection associated with regular use. Device does not come with any warranty"

If the unit did not have a refurb sticker on the packaging, it could have easily been passed as new. It came complete with all the materials and was sealed just as if Amazon would have sold it new. No dings, no scuffs on front or back. Lucked out on that. Tested the unit and messed around with it for couple of days and so far so good. That was well worth the shot in the dark for this unit.

weird, they first pulled down about a half a dozen $374.xx VG PS4's and now the $396 LNs are gone....a sign of a lower pricing coming up?  I can't imagine they all got bought.

 
Hi. Just wanted to leave feedback on my orders of Alan Wake CE and Fallout 3 CE.

Fallout 3 CIB, but the lunchbox had dents everywhere

Alan Wake CE was shrink wrap. Wrap look so professional like it was brand new. I open it and saw one amazon sticker on the lower corner box and the other same sticker on that same spot, but on the outer plastic. Everything CIB. Just wanted to let everyone know that like new, amazon has a machice to reseal items that  make it look brand new,

I found out very late (and lucky I did or we'd get an unexpected $99 chg) but apparently my wife took a Prime trial at some point when she must have been drunk and didn't realize or remember it. Anyway, I ordered something late Wednesday night. IMO 2 day shipping would be Friday, but if not, then at least Saturday, right, since not only does USPS deliver Saturdays, but Amazon has got them delivering Sundays in some places. And if not Saturday, then Monday, right? Nope, Amazon sent UPS Ground and they purposefully left it sitting in a dist center for days not moving at all, to end up delivering the following Tuesday.

Is this what I should expect from Prime?

 
For me that's out of the norm. All my stuff gets here by two days, sometimes even faster. Usps, ups, fedex. Thr only one I ever had issue with is ontrac and that's because my driver is shady.

I might be one of the dew here, but I love prime.

It should arrive Friday or Saturday. It usually says before you order what day it will arrive. I've never had a problem with it arriving on time unless the carrier lost the package. Prime is an excellent service imo. I'm spoiled by the quick shopping now.

There's a cut off and that's become rather normal if it's not an early Wednesday order. Saturday delivery has become very rare as they now charge extra for it and you only get that through FedEx with them. Other than the handful of areas they do Sunday delivery with they ship even less often by USPS and you usually only get stuff that way if they ship by SmartPost or whatever it's called. That's a whole other conversation about why that's entirely unacceptable.

Regardless Prime has gone way down hill over the last year.

I've loved Prime for a few years now, but my local post office just doesn't care. They deliver packages when they feel like it. Amazon and UPS generally get them the package in 1 day and they sit on it for a few.

I leave packaging feedback whenever this happens, but try not to complain to customer service too much because I don't want to seem like an abuser. UPS SurePost sucks.

 
Strange...I just grabbed Final Fantasy Anthology for the PS1 in Good condition for $7.xx. They had an Acceptable also listed but it is $11.xx. Never seen that before.

 
:ps3: Nier (G) $22.xx 

:3ds: Mario Tennis Open (LN) $17.xx

Edit:

I grabbed a few games and one of them was Disgaea 4 Premium Edition for $6. It showed it was only in Acceptable Condition. Will it come as disc only, or can I expect it to include more than the disc, but not everything? For $6 I figured it was easily worth the risk but wondered what those with more experience thought.

My hitman Professional edition 360 LN (6.xx) came in complete except for the dlc. but everything including the slip cover was there. good purchase.

 
Hey everyone just wanted to let you guys know my experience about my playstation 3 120 gb slim order. It was listed in acceptable condition with this description: 


[SIZE=small]May be missing one of the following: manual, cover art, or packaging. Bonus downloadable content may have already been redeemed.[/SIZE]







When I finally got it it came with just the console & the power cable, nothing else. It had some noticeable cosmetic damage to it but nothing severe but I sent it back. I had already purchased another ps3 and it was in better condition + gave me more for almost the same amount of money. If anything is looking for that specific ps3 I would advise to at least get a good conditioned one or else you might be stuck without all the necessary accessories. I really wish AWD's descriptions were accurate as to the specific package you're getting instead of just "livin on a prayer"...get it? HA!

Seen that happen before. You just caught AWD at that rare instance when they are shifting the algorithm, creating an anomaly when you see either really good deals or really bad ones. The good news to make out from that is (of course the deal you made out with) the algorithm is at least shifting around.
