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

Yeah, AWD likes doing that to me and then putting it back up.

I thought it was because he believed you to be Eld's alt (somehow you changed genders and assumed Eld's identity), and he doesn't like Eld and you get along with him so by proxy he doesn't like you. :razz:

M-A-R can come on strong but he means well (most of the time) so don't let him get to you.

also dealseeker2u is there a way 2 check if sams club in gaithersburg md by the lakeforest mall has ps4 in stock i alredy have 1 but my fam wants 1 as well it is good console best next gen 1 imo....

I gave it a shot and none within 50 miles of 20877 zip code. That still doesn't mean they don't have one, it just means it will be harder to find one and will take some effort (as in showing up in person and looking for one and or calling them and being at their mercy to give you the feedback). Not really worth the effort. Just wait for some deal via Target, Best Buy and or Wally World themselves if not on ebay (if you want one right away).

 
A bit late, I know, but

Hopefully the mods keep him around a little longer this time. I've only seen sodaman once here.

io is going to be pissed if he has to come and cleanup this thread (and cleanup someone shall). He just got done cleaning up the GS TIV thread earlier in the day. You guys are not making it easier for the mods (or maybe you are :twisted:).

 
So pepsi says the PS4 is the best next gen console. 

I'm so glad I picked the PS4.  Thank God.

I legitimately like the look of that Gaystation. I bet they could also also be the ones to figure out how to make a ps4 that doesn't always look dusty and fingerprinty.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Edit: Pepsiman must be gone because I have slightly less spelling errors.

I think either his bedtime arrived or mom and dad kicked him off the computer. Or both.

That was fast. Can anyone tell me the difference between "amazon Warehouse Deals" vs fulfillment by amazon?

I chat with a CS on amzon and told me that "Amazon warehouse deals that some of the items do come from 3rd party sellers
Click to expand...
I believe "Fulfillment By Amazon" just means that Amazon is involved in the shipping process somehow. I imagine this means you are also more likely to get tracking for the item. Someone more knowledgeable will probably come and correct me though.

 
FBA means that Amazon stores and ships the items for the sellers and then it's eligible for Prime and FSSS.  If you any customer service issue you also deal with Amazon directly.

Nothing like a good troll. As a newer cag I assume this is the infamous pepsi man? What exactly did he do?
Click to expand...
Pretty much exactly what you witnessed, and he also wrote a lot of blog posts about CAG's who had "wronged" him, and his favorite CAGs. He rambles on about coke being inferior to pepsi, and has a major hard on for IATCG who used to be a member here. He pretty much comes on here and rambles incoherently and gets banned within the night. Ive been active on the site for 4 years now and I think he's been here at least that long.
