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 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".

AWD product description says "Factory Sealed", is this item new?
First and foremost, AWD sells used / open box items so in their terms it has been sealed / resealed at an Amazon Warehouse and hence the "Factory Sealed" part so no it isn't necessarily new. It isn't necessarily new because it could go one of two ways:

1. It was traded in / open box return / test unit that was resealed at an Amazon warehouse facility.
2. It was a dinger (new with damaged packaging and with seals intact).

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

not always

on the note of the shadow bosses its easier if you get the arena equipment/accessories or whatever they are. I think it was a ring that prevents stagger or something similar to glory skill/overlimit from vesperia. Hardest fights were innes an kunzite.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001KMRN0M/sr=1-54/qid=1427510862/ref=olp_page_1?ie=UTF8&condition=used&me=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&qid=1427510862&sr=1-54

possible dinger psp?
Innes was a b**** to kill. I spent two hours getting wiped out. There were a couple of times I was almost there when she got me in one of her combos and since I got stunned, I couldn't do anything about it. F- . Then I picked up the skill to prevent stun and barely won.

By the time I got to others I got the notion I was a little OP through the leveling...nothing wrong with that of course. I read Shadow Kohaku and Kor were supposed to be tough and that last Triverse Gate boss was supposed to be evil.

There was a Tales of Graces f up earlier, I forgot to post it for you. I will next time though, so you can buy that too
:twisted:
Just...just stop....

actually shing and kohaku were pathetically easy for me.  I just spam shings version of ghost wolf and kohakus knee dive.

Innes it bit easier if you use her ranged ice arte to keep distance between you as an example. Sure it will do less damage but its better than nothing. Kunzites fricken impossible if he gets you in more than one combo unless you heal super fast.  I died against him I don't know how many times.

as for the optional super boss its not that its hard so much as it has crazy high stats so it takes forever to kill.

 
Grabbed one of the Good ranked ones - it was a dinger! Box had a huge crush spot on it, but all the innards were in perfect working order. It was indeed brand new otherwise - came complete with Assassin's Creed codes and 14-Day Trial. Booted it up and it works like a charm. Couldn't be more pleased with it.

Just beat that crazy final boss. Yeah, those last four shadow bosses were really not bosses at all.

That last monster on the other hand...God. The way I won was just to play nursemaid to the other three while they did all of the fighting; I just constantly healed them up and brought em back from KO. Beryl was a bad idea to bring along and the game glitched to where I couldn't bring her back. Whoops.

 
How likely is this to be a dinger? And also, how much lower might I expect to find a Vita dinger, on average?


PS Vita (LN) - $137.69
Used - Like New
Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Factory Sealed.
So I ordered this one and it came yesterday. Just wondering if anyone thought this was new. It was not factory sealed. The box was ripped at the seal with scotch tape to hold it together. All the cords were still in bags and wraped and have clearly never been used. The system was still in styrofoam bag but had a few finger prints and the system had been turned on and someone had at least done the initial setup. My wife thinks Amazon may have done that to check it before shipping and it had an Amazon verified sticker on the outer box.

Does that seem like something they do or do we think this was a trade in. Other then the few finger prints it seemed brand new. Not a huge deal but at the price I was hoping for brand new.

also the nintendo and super nintendo were region locked to which is why the games of the nes and snes cartridges pins were in different placement then that of the famicom and super famicom
You're thinking Turbografx/PC Engine. The Nintendo/Famicom had different number of pins for each, and the SNES/SFC was just the shape of the cart.
 
gotta resist.. but im a sucker for good deals..
I'll help you resist as I'm trying to do the same thing...all of them say item may come repackaged and packaging may have damage.

With that being said I still am thinking about going to gamestop and getting a $50 Amazon card with my Credit lol

there was a VG with a proper description to match, as in no damage, etc.

But I passed anyways. :grouphug:

 
Ordered a white ds4 (g) said marking on packaging but everything included. But came in a generic paper box just the controller :/ do these come with a usb cord ?
 
Why not? Binge watching is my favorite way to consume any show.
the show only has 60ish episodes, and not taking a break between seasons is just ignoring the way Vince Gilligan put the show together. He created a masterpiece knowing there would be 1 episode per week and breaks between seasons.

enjoy it the way he intended to.

This also isn't a "don't binge watch" thing either. It's that once it's over, "it's over." Take your time, I know many who regret going so fast with the show.

I went through it in a little over a month, it was great but probably was better spread out over more time.
I finished it, in about 7 months. I still feel guilty about going through it so fast.

I'm not denying I've binge watched at all, but there's only so many episodes and it really is the GOAT right now for many people. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I will watch TV/Movie/Whatever when/how *I* want....

I could care less if any show is meant to be watched over the course of 5 years....

As with gaming.. I also have a backlog of TV as well. I take a trip out of town for a few days, instead of packing a game console.. I load my iPad/MBP and watch my DVR'd stuff on the road. (either over internet or through conversion prior to leaving)

I watched last season's Justified in a weekend.. Cause this season was about to start and I had only watched the first 2 episodes of the last season.

 
I tried watching the first episode once.
Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't make it through an entire episode. I watched ten minutes of the first episode before throwing the "complete series" set in the trash.

Of course you can. You can chow down a 5 star meal in a matter of a minute or two, but most wouldn't.

Again, this is a merely a suggestion I understand why people do it but bingewatching this show in a month gets rid of cliffhangers and lessens the suspense (which is one reason BB is the GOAT), forges a lesser relationship to characters when you finish the show because they're only there for a week or two rather than the people who watched the show on television and a part for years. I'm not stating watch this show over 5 years, but 1 month is insane and there's exactly only a mere 62 episodes.

There was a poster in this thread who even admitted he should've spread it out, and I know many who regret it for this specific show too.

If you want to finish the Nearly undisputed TV GOAT in a month, go ahead, but odds are you'd regret it (I regret finishing it in 7 months) and didn't get nearly the enjoyment a person who watched it on TV did. Gilligan created a masterpiece and the episodes are by design for a TV show (gaps between seasons/episodes); you're doing a disservice to yourself more than anything.

for those who want to binge watch breaking bad to finish it in a month, my advice is tread lightly.

Funny thing is that I've been watching it a ton lately after taking it so slow in the beginning.
Maybe I'll take it slow after season 4 and watch a season of the wire in between.
Any other GOAT recommendations?
I usually hear:
Breaking Bad
The Wire
Sopranos
The shield (never watched)
Lost (never watched)
Still have to watch GoT and walking dead too...
 
Just beat that crazy final boss. Yeah, those last four shadow bosses were really not bosses at all.

That last monster on the other hand...God. The way I won was just to play nursemaid to the other three while they did all of the fighting; I just constantly healed them up and brought em back from KO. Beryl was a bad idea to bring along and the game glitched to where I couldn't bring her back. Whoops.
I always bring beryl with me because of her coverage and magic prowess but yeah she dies too much during that boss :wall: her and kohaku died like every 2 seconds unless I was controlling one or the other. But that's typical of tales bosses. allies are wet tissue and can't dodge/defend themselves properly. Too bad hearts r doesn't have online multiplayer as I wouldn't of minded helping you out.

Sons of Anarchy is another must watch to me.

Watch Fargo, it was incredible. It even has Bob Odenkirk.

 
Hey is it unlimited $5.99 credits if we choose the no rush shipping from amazon??? It would be nice to stack them up for a free prime pantry shipment ;)

 
forges a lesser relationship to characters when you finish the show because they're only there for a week or two rather than the people who watched the show on television and a part for years.

pretty much reason why I don't binge watch shows. shows like wire, sopranos, shield, justified etc wouldn't have meant as much had I watched them in short period.

Sopranos is pretty good, its showing its age. Maybe Sons of Anarchy? Boardwalk Empires?

 
The only non-animated shows I have ever enjoyed are Walking Dead and House.

I like House because they based a character on me and my attitude toward the people I work with.
 
the show only has 60ish episodes, and not taking a break between seasons is just ignoring the way Vince Gilligan put the show together. He created a masterpiece knowing there would be 1 episode per week and breaks between seasons.

enjoy it the way he intended to.

This also isn't a "don't binge watch" thing either. It's that once it's over, "it's over." Take your time, I know many who regret going so fast with the show.
Did you seriously just suggest that he created modern TV scheduling as an artistic vehicle?...
