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.

What is AmazonSmile?

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 is this "glitch deals" that I keep hearing about in this thread?

On August 7th, 2014, AWD glitched out similar to how it did around penny deals, except lot of stuff went for cheap instead for a penny. The pricing algorithm went haywire and in the process lot of stuff went for cheap across the AWD spectrum from games to iphones to tablets and everything else in between. The "glitch deal" lasted for maybe a couple of hours and fellow CAGs that were around during that time made out like a bandit. Below is the timeline leading up to the night and the deals that went down on that night.

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

Personally I am a Rachael Ray fan, but can't be picky on Food Network hotties, right?
I always wonder why people mention love, cooking, and kitchen all in the same train of thought...I must be young and completely immature.

I don't care for them.

Did Amazon change the color at the top of the screen for anybody? Shit's fugly.

Also shoutout to my 50 posts per page peeps, 200 stand up
Yeah, they've been trying a lot of different layouts on me lately. The header stuff bothers me much less than what they've been doing with the body.

When my wife makes me cookies, it is fucking amazing.

Plus man, those cook ladies are hot, who gives a damn what they make or if it's even good!

400 for me!
Mine is still page 1. I call it hardass mode. It takes me like 15 minutes to scroll down to see there's no deals.

 
thanks deal2seek, another great game by CapCom, with dead rising 2. the success from it resulted in the sequel of dead rising 3 as an xbox one exclusive.

I wish all games had the innovative "time limit" feature that Dead Rising had. It adds tension to the gaming experience knowing you don't have all of time and eternity to beat it.

Got my "Good" PS4 GTA V bundle that was supposedly "Factory Sealed" and it absolutely WAS NOT. Re-sealed by Amazon and didn't include any games. Going to see if customer support can help me out at all and if not, I'll send it right back.

Edit: Got a $70 refund. Considering the system itself looks brand new and I had no intention of keeping either game, a new PS4 for ~$265 works for me.

Once again, AWD's description of factory sealed does not mean sealed in manufacturer's factory but in Amazon's warehouse. Last I checked, we were posting deals for USED / OPEN BOX games and USED / OPEN BOX consoles (which is always implied unless you get lucky and end up with a dinger) so congrats on ripping off Amazon.

I actually specifically double checked with Amazon BEFORE this order shipped. They believed that it was factory sealed like a new item. The CS rep then voluntarily offered me the discount. No reason to be snarky.

He's pointing out a fact. Warehouse deals are specifically for used or open box items and should be viewed as such. Factory sealed does not mean nor imply an item that is brand new. It does mean that the Amazon warehouse could, and most likely did, reseal the already broken seal item. No need to take things so personally. DS2U has been doing this for a long time and it would be wise to head his advice.

Indeed. I feel that I've always been lucky with awd. My stuff has always come in near mint condition. But I always keep my expectations in check. I know it's used and expect as much.

Because of this, it would take a lot for me to contact Amazon over the condition of the item. I almost wish they weren't so lax with giving out discounts because it must severely hurt their bottom line and I'm sure they're policies are heavily abused (not necessarily by active community members but I'm sure many lurkers have gotten ideas from some of our anecdotes). I feel this could be one reason why Amazon deals outside of AWD aren't as strong as they used to be. I miss the $10-$20 preorder gaming credits from years ago.

Anyway I'm digressing. Thanks a ton to dealseeker! It's alwata just fun to see what you find even though I don't buy much from AWD anymore.
 
It's on Amazon to clean up their act in my opinion. They need to post at least semi-accurate descriptions for these things and the CS reps need to be made aware.

Truth. It's silly how all descriptions for gaming are so copy pasted. Actual detailed descriptions would do wonders to lower customer complaints. But the added costs of providing these details for the thousands of items listed daily probably outweighs paying off the vocal minority.
 
I actually specifically double checked with Amazon BEFORE this order shipped. They believed that it was factory sealed like a new item. The CS rep then voluntarily offered me the discount. No reason to be snarky.

At least in your case you checked with Amazon beforehand so they screwed up and made it up to you.

However, it isn't just you, too many folks have come out of woodwork and assume "factory sealed" in the description = sealed / new which is not the case. If anyone in any capacity has followed this thread or any of its previous versions then they would know the answer to that riddle. Heck, Rozz taunts and calls out everyone of those each time but some are just too naive to grasp the sarcasm.

Anyways, now that you have cleared it up, congrats on the deal and happy new year to you!
