F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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"?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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.

Any tips on finding deals?

Spoiler

Sure! Here is a guide for a plugin for Chrome users to set alerts for items. Part 2 of the tutorial helps get AWD link to item not currently instock or that hasn't come out yet.

For Chrome users PageMonitor is a handy plugin to catch deals. (Guide listed below)
For Mozilla users, Check4Change is a handy alternate plugin to that of chrome's.

Also, http://theforklift.net/ for those looking for AWD deals in a pinch.

From my original post (concerning PageMonitor and AWD links):

I wonder if I'm doing it right. I'm adding the used page of the product (and selecting free shipping to filter it), however the program alerts me there is a change eventough there is none (the Sorry message we see when there are no products with free shipping - usually AmazonWarehouse).

The way I do it is selecting the price itself. For example I go here: http://www.amazon.co...&qid=1427814309 then I select the game/console that I want too look and click where it say used (dont click on the item link, click where it say used under the item you want). Then with page monitor I select monitor this page. After that I go to options (on the page monitor tab) advance and then click custom mode, pick. That will open a new tab withe the webpage of the item that I selected to monitor and there is where I select the price (the number) of the item. Then click done. Thats it, thats how it worked for me.

Time to revisit Feb 25th 2014 (and March 30th 2012) :




Time to revisit March 30th 2012 . I posted a guide then and it very much still applies with some tweaking to what I know now, so on with it.

Before I begin, know this that you need to go to the AWD site if you are after something specific from AWD like the vita in this example. Also you can fast click the link to the edition you want (if it is a console, handheld, or games), and see each price for AWD only items if they are available. You would be lucky to see something pop up on AWD if bunch of people are hunting down the same hot ticket item at any given time. On that note, the alert DOEScatch AWD items before they appear on AWD and if sniped quickly (1-click), others will most likely just see a ghost listing on AWD by the time it appears on AWD page. Setting alert on AWD page also eliminates false positive alerts since only AWD listings will appear on AWD page vs every minute change that will happen on the main Amazon listing page. Now onto the guide:


This may help answer the question for few who are wondering how to use "Page Monitor" extension for Chrome.

Once the extension is installed, do this. Select the AWD page (not the main Amazon listing page to avoid false positive alerts) to be monitored by clicking on the Page Monitor icon and selecting "Monitor This Page" link (Use the link swapping trick mentioned earlier to get to the page if the game isn't out yet). Then go to Page Monitor options and do as following:

(You can choose to have custom notification sound, desktop notification, length of duration for notification, and the length of duration for refreshing as you please.)

Once done tweaking the settings, then do this:

Once you have done step 6, you have set the page to be monitored and you are set. A notification will go off that a change has been found but that is just to notify that you have set an alert. Mark it off as visited and from this point forward you are set to go.

Pro Tip: Set it to monitor the "used" tab via "selector" under the options by checking off "custom mode" instead of monitoring the whole page. If you set if from the warehouse side then it will only alert you if one pops up in the warehouse.

Those step diagrams have been here since the 1st time I made the guide back in March of 2012 and it is under my profile in my gallery so feel free to revisit it if the need arises.

I hope that helps my fellow CAGs. Happy hunting everyone





Mulder, on 04 May 2015 - 3:24 PM, said:

One thing for the procedure is that there are no New 3DSs available in the warehouse at this time, so I need to wait to test this approach.

Part 2 of the equation on how to get notification for items not on AWD and or ones say coming out in the future (like MGS V: CE)

Do this to get AWD listings for those items. Open a link to an AWD item (any item) but it needs to be an AWD link. Say something like this:

http://smile.amazon..../offer-listing/B00841ZJYO/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used&m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&qid=1430778305&sr=1-15

The part in bold is the Amazon's item listing and each item has its own unique listing identifier so to get the new XL item listing go to the item's page and from it's link get B00S1LRX3W

http://www.amazon.co...DS-XL-Black/dp/B00S1LRX3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1430778512&sr=1-1&keywords=new+3ds+xl

and replace the B00841ZJYO with B00S1LRX3W in the AWD link and voila you have AWD listing for an item not yet availabe.

http://smile.amazon..../offer-listing/B00S1LRX3W/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used&m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&qid=1430778305&sr=1-15

Here are all the new xl links:

Nintendo - New 3DS XL Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Limited Edition - Gold/Black
New Nintendo 3DS XL - Black
Nintendo New 3DS XL Red

I hope that helps. Good luck and happy hunting!

The cardboard is severely damaged/torn.

I've boughten XBL cards a handful of times from AWD and they always come torn up and with a bunch of tape throughout. However, the codes have always been valid/not redeemed.

can't factory sealed just mean seemed in a factory, not necessarily by the original manufacturer?

"factory sealed" is Amazon's terribly inaccurate point-and-click phrase for "we resealed it at some point". Why they don't just use 'resealed', I'll never know.

Yes. I've done it several times before.

Yes. I've done it several times before.

also if anyone is new to subscribe & save, you can save $10 off your first order.

That's exactly how it works.

That's why I was asking. My folks wanted me to order some stuff for them, and I can save 5% + $10 on it with that.

Yes. I've done it several times before.

Check to see if there's a coupon as well on the item, as you'd be surprised what Amazon has coupons on.

I've done it a number of times to make a S&S order and cancel it after the first month. Then, go back and do it again if the items has a coupon on it.

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

On one hand I am happy for you and on the other hand the CAG in me is sad and cringing for what you paid for those items. I have seen those hit under $20 and last year I picked up M&L Partners in time for ~ $15 from AWD (and it was around $24 few weeks back which I thought was still more than what I would pay for it so I did not post it). If you wait it out, you can see them go for a decent price but it is a waiting game.

That is some seriously cool stuff you got there.

Yeah I had a suspicion that the stuff was cheaper but I figured, why not? I picked up $60 GS credit for $40 thanks to eBay and Kroger promos making it 33% off of the $60. The other $40 I got from flipping stuff which averaged about 40% off. So I spent $46 on Ys 7 LE, Mario and Luigi PiT for $30, and M & L Bowser's Inside Story for $20. A little extra on the shipping (because I'm impatient) too. That means in actual money I put out was about $74. At the end of the day it turns out not too badly for me...Sure it would have been better then...but at that point in time I didn't have the credit. Like ThatOneGuyWho said...sometimes you gotta make a deal when there isn't any deal to be had.

PS4 Batman Arkham Knight Limited Edition (VG) $378.67

Check to see if there's a coupon as well on the item, as you'd be surprised what Amazon has coupons on.

I've done it a number of times to make a S&S order and cancel it after the first month. Then, go back and do it again if the items has a coupon on it.

i hate to say it but slick deals is great for this, they always have the best amazon coupon +S&S

That's why I was asking. My folks wanted me to order some stuff for them, and I can save 5% + $10 on it with that.

Cool thanks.

if you order 5 items the savings go up to 15%

i actually have 11 things that are in the shipping now phase for august, i combined those prime day coupons with subscribe and save and got the wipes for $2.75 and a 3 pack of nivea body wash for $5. its really great for deodorant/soap/toilet paper and everyday stuff. also, dont worry about a ban or anything for cancelling, i have been using it for 2 years and always cancel after the first month.

PS4 Batman Arkham Knight Console Bundle $335.75 (VG) - Will come in original packaging. Packaging has damage.\

Not the limited edition console; the standard black 500gb model

 

[jeffcrazy]

if you guys like subscribe and save, you should look at slickdeals.net a few times a day (if you have the stomach for that..)... I caught nivea shaving cream 3pack for like $1.46 and face wash for something like 58 cents cents after coupons... those deals are gone very quickly, though, as you can imagine.

They're still in print along with FF Anthology and FF Origins (both of which are also $10 on Amazon).  FF9 is $15 new as well.

They're even available on Square's own online store for $15.

Guess Square got smart, instead of just having them available in the PSN store.

Found this: http://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/2ypws5/i_did_not_know_amazon_still_sells_new_ps1_games/

Apparently these reprints have silver read areas instead of the classic black.

So some interesting anecdotes from my recent AWD purchases:

Last week my (G) Xbox One bundle came in. It was listed as repackaged by no notation of any sort of missing components. It ended up being a trade in. The AC:U voucher was used, missing retail box, and best of all no AC power adapter. I guess it's plausible that since it didn't come with the original box, the warehouse folks may have accidentally cobbled together the random parts to make the bundle and forgot about the adapter but the point was the AC adapter was too expensive to replace so I just outright returned it back to Amazon this week.

Also last week my (G) Batman PS4 standard edition bundle came in. It came complete however I noticed the USB charging cable and the power cord were third parties rather than OEM's. Since these were inexpensive to replace, I figured I'd turn to CS and explain to them the situation. I didn't calculate the actual costs of the replacements since there's so many damn listings on Amazon to navigate through so I just pointed out how the two cables were inexpensive to replace and suggested it'd be easier to just get a replacement credit than return the whole console. CS gets back to me and offers me 40% credit which equated to a $145 refund. Unreal. I took the offer. For what it's worth, I looked up my CS/return history just before I took the offer for peace of mind and aside from the Xbox One bundle which I just returned this week, I haven't returned anything I ordered within the last 6 months at the very least or even contacted CS about.

 

[Lil Frier]

Is there some reason the USB cable and power cord aren't acceptable if they're third-party? I guess I don't see why that was worth contacting CS in the first place.

Yeah, I mean it worked out in your favor brilliantly, but that's a bit picky.

40% back? Sounds like a great deal. However, from my experience, there's nothing wrong with 3rd party controller charging cables for the PS4. I don't even know which one is the one that came with my system. I just use whatever cable and plug it into my Samsung USB AC adapter for charging.

That was pretty shitty of you.

brb gonna order a PS4 and then complain that Sony didn't use official Sony-branded screws on the system

 

[lusal]

How is it shitty of him to accept a gracious offer from an Amazon service representative?  How can you side with a multi-billion dollar corporation while denigrating an average, run-of-the-mill consumer?

I am Jack's raging incredulity.

 

[Komentra]

Yeah because if Amazon offered $140 in credit you wouldn't take it. All he asked for was a replacement credit for the cables.

I believe Blade was saying it was "shitty" for him to complain about that in the first place, not to take the offered credit.

Blade, please correct me if I'm wrong. (I know you will =)) Sorry, I'm at work, so I'm in the habit of defending others.

I mean, I was just asking why he asked for replacement cables. He got cables, they just weren't the pretty OEM ones, apparently. I wouldn't think that meaningful on a console rated (G), so I asked.

 

[.......]

That was pretty shitty of you.

Wow, you say what he did is shitty yet you're going to complain about the screws used on the system.

I can't believe someone would actually do this.

 

[Donut2922]

Some of you are overthinking this. I thought my post was pretty clear but go back and re-read it. I shouldn't be surprised that my post was going to get a rise out of some folks just because of the absurd amount of credit I got (which was what I pointed out by my "unreal" comment).

The power adapter was a bigger deal for me than the USB. The voltage stated on the cord was different than the OEM cords and iirc it was actually higher on the third party brand. I'm not an engineer so my common sense only told me that I would rather have the correct voltage on my cord than something that was listed different. I know it's out of paranoia since my system booted up properly with the 3rd party cord, but because I was accepting their return compensation, I knew if I somehow ed up my console because of the power intake, I wouldn't be within my right to return it to Amazon since I accepted the concession. I would be stuck with a system knowingly taking the risk of using some other off brand power cord. Do you guys not remember the stories about the Xbox 360 systems that were shorting out due to the generic 3rd party cords? I do.

The USB cable wasn't as big of a deal but since I was bringing up the power cord issue, I might as well inform them. From a performance standpoint, I personally didn't see how it would make that much of a difference but just in case, if the third party USB takes an extra hour to charge my DS4 than normal, why would I want that? In their infinite wisdom, Sony made the current gen controller to eat up battery 5 times faster than the DS3 so rechargability was going to be a decision factor.

Again, I'm no engineer but all I did was put some thought into checking the voltage on my power cord while there was no way in hell I was going to charge my DS4 with an OEM cable and recharge it again with the generic brand to compare the performance. Hopefully I'm clear enough in my post again but I'm not going to dumb it down for some of you. I wonder if I would have gotten a rise out of this if they just offered me $20 credit which I would have taken anyway. But it's nice to see some members here at least understood my point.
