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

Hang in there Lakers. BTW I'm sure we'd all love to see how those PS4s look like when you get 'em.

 
Do any of you AWD wizards have an opinion on this:

Very Good

Clearly I want a complete copy and I don't wanna risk another return on a stupid gamble for a cheap game.  Worth the risk?

That's the key phrase that probably means it's complete but not complete, complete (box, manual, inserts, etc.). That's what happened to me anyway. If you must have complete (and I don't blame you), then no don't risk it.
not always true cause here the description my mario kart :gc: had and it was perfect unless i just got lucky

first time in months, there isnt a PS4 Destiny bundle as the first item in "New And Popular" AWD, i think. Someone finally bought all the available? Or restock / update, happening?

My acceptable ps4 shipped also.

Picked up the ME3 A for 7.xx - hope I don't have to send it back but I'm guessing it'll come incomplete.

The GOW:A Acceptable CE came in - no box but otherwise complete. Not sure if imma keep it for $29 or whatever

Found an awesome random deal the other day - watch dogs LE for 360 for $10.xx - not sold by amazon so figured it was a mistake. Got it today in pretty good shape. Mostly shelf wear. Mask was unopened too.

My $248 "Good, missing power cord" shipped this morning. Also, I chatted with CS to ask how missing a power cord meant "good" and was told that it is likely the USB cord for the controller and not the system power cord.

Either way, the cord is the same as OG Xboxes and PS2, no? I've got quite a few of them.
 
I had been using the mobile version without issue. Switched to full version and now it wont let me switch back to mobile. The desktop site is terrible on my phone
 
Yeah it's a mess right now and continues to get worse.

Anyway, I'm glad I kept that $9 Kinect and ordered Kinect Sports. Was playing it with my kid and we had a lot of fun.
 
Almost bought Valkyria Chronicles for PS3 the other day when it was cheap...

Happy I didnt since it's getting released on PC next month and is only $14.04 :D

 
I wanted that psp so bad. Never could justify the purchase
You could be cool like me and try for a silver PSP 2000. For some reason the stock motherboards in the silver ones reduce the ghosting to negligible levels. Sure you don't get the PSP 3000's color, but you get no scanlines and 98% no ghosting.

This is all assuming that you consider that important.

You could be even more obsessive like me and have 2 3Ks, 2 2Ks, and a white Go. PSA: It's a bad idea, don't do it.

i had that one and traded it in for a hanna psp
Because of my recent obsession with the PSPs, I've actually wanted to see what that purple actually looked like...and the MGS green, and the Invisimals blue and the - You see...I came in like a wrecking ball.....

BTW: That PS3 Star Ocean came in today. with this description, I thought for sure it would be the disc only:

[SIZE=small]Condition: Used - Very Good[/SIZE]

[SIZE=small]Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item not in the original case. Factory Sealed.[/SIZE]






What I got instead was...everything! Wow.

And My Senns HD598 came in too. I love its balanced sound but I think these things gotta burn for a few days. Will check back just like the Polk Melee (which I don't recommend).

First, scroll to the bottom of this page and click the first button. This will take you to the first post which contains information you should read before making a post in this or any other thread. Then, repeat this procedure before making a post in this or any other thread.

Seriously, the op wrote a very detailed FAQ. At least give them the respect and read it.

EDIT: Second, Never write "lol".
There's no need to be difficult. I've been here much longer than yourself and more often than not, new vernacular is not a covered subject, nor is there an indication of a FAQ. For a thread labelled, "Amazon Warehouse Deals thread XIII", there wouldn't be an implication of a FAQ detailing the aforementioned. I did a serch prior to asking the question and got a bunch of unexplained posts talking about items having the quality of dinger. In addition to this, your post only furthers the mucking up of the thread and now this meta-post of further getting less on the main point of the thread to address the rudeness.

lol, was your post even necessary or were you just trying to increase your post count which i'm sure is nothing more than irrelevance anyway. My question was answered and you had to chime in. lol

And My Senns HD598 came in too. I love its balanced sound but I think these things gotta burn for a few days. Will check back just like the Polk Melee (which I don't recommend).
what do you do to burn them in? I have the ATH-M30 and M50 and read something about burning them in but never bothered

Good choice & enjoy. I recently bought the 558's, did the foam mod, and have been enjoying them immensely.

I actually have my headphones burning in right now.

I have mine plugged into the computer and have a youtube video specifically for burning them running.

Have them sit at about normal listening volume for a whole night. The next night increase slightly louder than the night before.

For sound drivers located in headphones, at least in my experience with IEMs, the cans need to wear in to have a more natural sound. I've used medium-high end IEMs made by Shure and Etymotic research and they, much like a lot of other products, have a wear-in period. Usually this just means slightly improved range response. It's negligible but its there. Usually you can wear in the drivers by playing a variety of music at maximum volume to wear them in. I like to do a gradual build up torward volumes. Different headphones are better for different kinds of music. The Shure's I had were wonderful for natural music so playing music that your headphones are best at representing are probably better for that response.

This process is similar to buying a new car. Manufacturers often do not recommend hitting higher RPMs of the vehicle's engine until about a 1,000-1,500 mile wear-in period.

Check Gedemer's post. You can even play your library on repeat if need be. Some say it's fact, and some say it's urban myth. I have heard minor differences on several of my headphones over a course of time.

Take the Polk Melee for example. Everything seemed OK and upfront at first and I wore them for about 10 hours straight. After 72 hours of the burn in time, the bass seem to be a little too heavy and bloated the sound altogether. The highs while present, didn't do much and the mids were all over the place. It was like the headset was changing the EQ and I wasn't controlling it. After that I said "screw it" and returned the headset and put money towards some real headphones instead.

Good choice & enjoy. I recently bought the 558's, did the foam mod, and have been enjoying them immensely.
Thanks,. I read the 558s are . Hey, I hope you only paid $120. Amazon just dropped the price earlier yesterday.

You could be cool like me and try for a silver PSP 2000. For some reason the stock motherboards in the silver ones reduce the ghosting to negligible levels. Sure you don't get the PSP 3000's color,

but you get no scanlines and 98% no ghosting.

This is all assuming that you consider that important.

You could be even more obsessive like me and have 2 3Ks, 2 2Ks, and a white Go. PSA: It's a bad idea, don't do it.

Because of my recent obsession with the PSPs, I've actually wanted to see what that purple actually looked like...and the MGS green, and the Invisimals blue and the - You see...I came in like a wrecking ball.....


BTW: That PS3 Star Ocean came in today. with this description, I thought for sure it would be the disc only:


Condition: Used - Very Good


Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item not in the original case. Factory Sealed.




What I got instead was...everything! Wow.

And My Senns HD598 came in too. I love its balanced sound but I think these things gotta burn for a few days. Will check back just like the Polk Melee (which I don't recommend).


Woah, woah...Whaaaaaaaaat??????? I bought it at GS a few months ago. fuck .

Wait...with this and FFXIII now on PC...don't tell me I just wasted money on this Star Ocean PS3 as a PC freaking version will be announced sometime in 2015.... :fridge:

I was going to get star ocean. I hate you lol

Paid $97 new from best buy a few weeks ago for the 558's. What kind of deal did you get on the 598's?

Edit: On topic.. there's an acceptable destiny ps4 dinger up currently
