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

There still has never been a kinectless Xbox One pop up on AWD yet has there? Been stalking it for weeks and either I am missing them or AWD just hasn't tossed anything up.

Is it pretty easy to return something like this if it turns out that it's not a dinger?

It's pretty easy to return anything through amazon since their policy is simply fantastic imo. You would probably have to repay return shipping tho if that''s the reason you're going with for returning it.

Edit: Mega Ninja'd >.<

My "good" condition PS3 came today, paid $126.xx for it. It is in GREAT condition. The controller has very little wear and the console is mint. Came with all the original cables. The box is in good shape, a little torn where the seal was, and some of the packing was missing.  I ran a bluray disc for about 45 minutes, seemed to run ok, I will give a good run over the weekend. Over all I am very happy with this purchase, first time getting a console from Warehouse Deals.

 
Considering grabbing the FONV UE. I might not get to it for 6 mos to 1 yr, though. Think it might be cheaper by then?

 
I am too lazy to check the previous threads, and I know it's been covered again and again, but I remember reading various accounts of people returning their defective PS4 to Sony for warranty repair. I bought mine from AWD, so is it likely to get rejected based on the fact that I bought it from there?

I did one. They initially rejected the free warranty repair because of the cost ($273.xx) on the Amazon invoice so they indicated they don't sell for that price and was wondering if it was used. In the end, I asked them since it was still under their 1 year warranty (it was less than a year from release and the s/n indicated it was a release unit), they said they'd do it as a courtesy. Not sure if you could use that reason at this point as it's past the year.

However, I was also following others and some indicated they had no issues at all.

There's another one listed for $424.15 that is Used-Very Good and the notes say "Factory Sealed." Is this also a dinger? Would there be an advantage to spending $25 more for the Very Good instead of the Good?

I got lucky on getting mine fixed:

- Went through chat to set up the repair. Before the chat finished, I explicitly stated it was a used model, and the rep said they'd repair it anyway since it was within a year of release and all systems were still under the 1-year warranty.

- Sent it in, got a call when they saw it was used on the receipt. Mentioned the chat rep said they'd repair, so they told me to call back the next day while they check the records (yay for chat records!).

- Called back. They must have looked up the chat, and they agreed to repair it.

So, it's gonna be a gamble. These used systems technically aren't under warranty since they aren't purchased new. If you get a busted one and they won't repair, at least you can still send it back to Amazon! If you get a working one, might not be a bad idea to spend some of the savings on a Squaretrade warranty.

I think this has scared me off of getting an AWD on a bigger ticket console. I was considering the $399 Xbox One with Kinect dingers but i'll probably just wait for a good deal on a new one (I know some good deals already exist but i'm trying to limit it to Gamestop or Amazon based on a bunch of Gamestop credit accumulated).

 
Finally, I  received my orders. my 2 Hitman Absolution Professional Edition are completed and the codes are unused. If someone need the code, I glad to gift it. I also received a Castlevania Lord Of Shadow Limited Edition. The game is complete and looks like new.

You're taking a calculated risk buying a new-gen console (XB1) used and without warranty. You yourself need to decide if saving $100 is worth not having a warranty. I do admit I don't know how Microsoft's warranty policy works on the XB1, but yeah, if I were you, based on the fact that it has no standard warranty that comes with it, I'd go New.
