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!

[ritchardf]

Any idea why it uses part of the No-Rush credit? Same thing is happening to me

Thanks as well Ratmonkey. Good deal with free ship & Pantry credits. Stocked up on some drinks for $6

the reason why its only using part of the credit is there is a $5.99 minimum charge for prime pantry.

 

[Pyloric]

Got my $16 RE5 collector's edition (G) for PS3...Only steelbook and game.  This is the third or fourth CE from Amazon Warehouse that has been missing everything.  I'm about done with Amazon Warehouse...Sending this back now.

How about that N3DSXL (NEW) at Kmart for $100.

Price Match is YMMV seeing as it says check desktop site or in store but still has the "Add To Cart" button lit up.

Is this current? If so do you have a link?

You and me both Vig. But then again, we'd probably shove them out of business if they did that, lol. Well, maybe more people would shop there? I don't know...

Probably best bet is BBY...but I still haven't opened my red n3DS XL I got from the trade promo a month ago from GS when they were giving $100 for 3DS systems and Vitas.

I was tempted to do that GS deal, but I just couldn't let my 2DS go.

 

[Blade]

I was tempted to do that GS deal, but I just couldn't let my 2DS go.

Not even as a trade-in back to Amazon claiming it's a New 3DSXL? Such a pillar.

 

[CaptainJoel]

I was tempted to do that GS deal, but I just couldn't let my 2DS go.

I actually had the same problem. I love my 2DS too much.

 

[oiskaio]

As someone who hasn't played any DS/3DS titles is the 2DS a pretty decent deal?  Don't really care about 3D, just want to play some of the mario/zelda games

 

[kickrockz713]

Bought 3 things yesterday. Two orders, picked no rush shipping on both, so what does Amazon do? They ship it out right away and it's going to be here Sunday.

Sigh..... I picked no rush because I wanted it to come late next week since I have plans and won't be home this weekend. If I wanted it right away, I would have picked 2 day.

Thanks! I got my local best buy to price match. The associate was kind of shocked I was asking him to pricematch Kmart of all places but he just hit the local competitors button and let me go. 36 bucks out of pocket after a 70 dollar giftcard that I had. On a side note- is the n3dsxl supposed to be sealed in some way? My package has nothing of the sort.

 

[whoknows]

I find the 2DS to be at least 233% more comfortable to hold than the 3DS/XL

 

[dyeknom]

I find the 2DS to be at least 233% more comfortable to hold than the 3DS/XL

I'm 63% positive that 81% of 2DS owners like holding roughly of tablet sized objects 49% of the time.

do most people even have a kmart in their state?

Thanks! I got my local best buy to price match. The associate was kind of shocked I was asking him to pricematch Kmart of all places but he just hit the local competitors button and let me go. 36 bucks out of pocket after a 70 dollar giftcard that I had. On a side note- is the n3dsxl supposed to be sealed in some way? My package has nothing of the sort.

hmm do you need one in the state for that to work or even closer than that?

I had about five minutes with a 2DS before I packed them away for Christmas, but I was surprised at how much more ergonomic they were.

No, there is no seal on the new 3dsxl.

Based on what I remember regarding the Wii U's packaging, Nintendo has a (recent?) habit of not factory-sealing new consoles.

My (G) Black New 3DS XL $135.xx showed up today. It's brand new. My first incredible experience with AWD and I'm super happy about this one.

No, mine weren't. I don't know why...

Your right, the 2 new 3DSXLs I bought at launch didn't have a factory seal on them. The Wii U, I can't remember if mine did or not.

Kmart is not in best buys price match system so they have to file it under local competitor. My associate said that he had no idea k marts still existed (even though there was one only a few miles away that was still open.) It's possible. It all depends on how lazy the employee is or how nice they are feeling.

N3ds xl definitely do not have factory seals on them. I bought one at GS during the trade in the old and in with the new. No seal and was very confused. Luckily I was able to gently open it to check if it was an IPS n3ds and it wasn't so I brought it back to GS and exchanged for another which luckily was IPS! No seal with the exchanged.

Exactly. Depends on the employee. One guy will do whatever and will even stack GCU on PM'd stuff. Other employees act like it's coming out of their pockets. When Target had their amiibo sale, guy would only discount the Mario amiibos because "that was the only one pictured in the actual ad." I showed him the website prices, and he didn't care.

My guy at Toys R Us will PM ANYTHING, but if it's too high a % you need a manager to override. He will let me know which manager is on duty because only a few will allow anything.

What's IPS?

The N3DSXL has 2 screen types.

Here is a reddit link talking about it https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/comments/2zo0md/the_difference_between_ips_and_tn_screens_on_a/

You should complaint to customer service about this and get a month's prime free.

 

[Darthlain18]

Actually yes his name is Lucas! but for short of course he'll be called Luke

or save the complaints for a better reason, too many complaints = ban (and obviously this guy knows this, he's just trolling).

They're not. There was a big issue where people were just taking the Windwaker codes out of Wii U systems at the store.

Welcome to the club, I'll have to buy you a drink some day. Also enjoy it, mine starts school in less than a month and I miss cute chubby baby.

On the plus side once they get to the point where they just sleep 2/3s of the day it's a great opportunity to let them just crash on you while also working on your backlog. Before they get old enough that you have to start paying attention to what you're playing around them. Get those M rated games done now!

Hahahaha yeah man I know. The first one is almost 2 and she already plays Mario kart (although not that well) and she knows how to turn on the Wii u and start NSMB.

Haha if only. I'd be living the dream, minus the horrible 3rd degree burns and amputation.

My "Good" MGS Twin Snakes for GCN came in today in really good shape. Looks like new to me, case, inserts, instructions and disks are all impeccable. I hope it works though.

 

[mlow44]

My $69 120GB PS3 (LN) came in today as well. Scuffed all over with weird white splotches on the console. HDMI cable doesn't work (had to use my own for testing), and the controller is a cheap knock-off brand called a "DUALSHOCH III." Console seems to work, at least.

Haven't tested the disc drive yet. I don't have any physical PS3 games or Blu-Rays to test it with. If I pop in a DVD and it works will that be enough to know if the disc drive is fully functional?

So I popped in The Last Of Us on disc and played about an hour. I doubt that's long enough to really stress test the system properly, but it didn't get particularly hot so I think I'm satisfied with the console for now. I'm about to complain to Amazon CS about the controller and HDMI cable, though. Any suggestions on how to get a partial refund for the accessories? Or do they typically own up to that sort of thing right away?

The controller is functional, but its analogue stick padding feels pretty cheap and the axis dead zones are awful. Rotating the camera and moving really feels like all-or-nothing: either full speed or not at all. Only on very rare occasions have I been able to just walk instead of run, or slowly pan the camera around.
