F.A.Q's

Spoiler

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!

It's not just Prime killing AWD.  There's a lot of stuff up on AWD that's more expensive than buying new from Amazon for items where the Prime discount doesn't apply.

I remember someone being mad that they went to GS and bought amazon gift cards to buy this, but when they got home it was gone. Well, now it's back. It does NOT sound like a dinger.

Soooo tempting. The only thing holding me back is reason, rationality and an overarching penchant for being cheap.

Screw that, that's 5 more elite controllers!

I bought one last year and don't regret it. Still the best looking special edition PS4 IMO. It's also nice having a region B bluray player... I'm not helping am I?

 

[amusedtoe]

so amazon has pretty much killed warehouse deals for new games with the 20% off for prime members, but if you dont have prime or gcu, birthright is up for $33.22 VG ($31.99 new with prime)

BBY killed most AWD game deals with AWD's help.

Not WHD, but I'm tempted to order that then bitch to get a 50% refund since I need a new 360.

Amazing how many sellers don't bother reading the condition guidelines.

Love having something canceled for lack of availability then it being available in the same condition for more.

Isn't that because xbones have started rolling out backwards compatibility and since 4gb is practically worthless?

 

[stringycupps1]

Isn't that because xbones have started rolling out backwards compatibility and since 4gb is practically worthless?

Theyre not backwards compatible with all 360 games. Also, while 4GB is not enough, hard drives can be found for cheap.

 

[kickrockz713]

Isn't that because xbones have started rolling out backwards compatibility and since 4gb is practically worthless?

I wouldn't say it's worthless, you can use external hard drives on the now so 4gb is perfect if you have an external laying around.

Not all games will be BC, it just not going to happen so to play certain games, you'll need a .

 

[Miker525]

So this isn't an AWD deal but since I've attempted to buy one from AWD on multiple occasions I thought I'd share... I went to my local thrift/antiques store this past Wednesday and saw a LE Halo 3 Xbox 360 sitting on the shelf over by the electronics. It had the Halo 3 hard drive and power brick with it too as well as the matching Halo 3 faceplate (although one of the MU doors was missing a spring leaving it stuck open). It had a two price tags one that said $65 and one that said $15. I picked it up and started looking it over and the owner of the store came over after noticing me looking at the unit. He said they were asking $65 and someone had bought it and brought it home but then brought it back saying the door doesn't work. The rest of the unit works fine but the door so the new price was $15. I wasn't really sure what that meant but I assumed they meant the disc drive was either dead or stuck. I go to this store like once or twice a week so they know me so he told me that if I wanted it I could have it for $10. So I bought it. Got it home and hooked it up and the disc tray was stuck closed but it was making sounds so it was clearly functional. Last night I took the whole xbox apart and replaced the missing spring on the faceplate, vacuumed out all the dust from the system, and took the disc tray apart and dusted it and did the old shrinky trick on the disc tray belt and replaced it. Put the whole thing back together and it works perfectly and the thing looks brand new.

tldr: got a (now) like new Halo 3 limited edition Xbox 360 for $10. Super happy. This thing is beautiful

I went to my local thrift/antiques store this past Wednesday and saw a LE Halo 3 Xbox 360 sitting on the shelf over by the electronics. It had the Halo 3 hard drive and power brick with it too as well as the matching Halo 3 faceplate (although one of the MU doors was missing a spring leaving it stuck open). It had a two price tags one that said $65 and one that said $15. I picked it up and started looking it over and the owner of the store came over after noticing me looking at the unit. He said they were asking $65 and someone had bought it and brought it home but then brought it back saying the door doesn't work. The rest of the unit works fine but the door so the new price was $15. I wasn't really sure what that meant but I assumed they meant the disc drive was either dead or stuck. I go to this store like once or twice a week so they know me so he told me that if I wanted it I could have it for $10. So I bought it. Got it home and hooked it up and the disc tray was stuck closed but it was making sounds so it was clearly functional. Last night I took the whole xbox apart and replaced the missing spring on the faceplate, vacuumed out all the dust from the system, and took the disc tray apart and dusted it and did the old shrinky trick on the disc tray belt and replaced it. Put the whole thing back together and it works perfectly and the thing looks brand new.

tldr: got a (now) like new Halo 3 limited edition Xbox 360 for $10. Super happy. This thing is beautiful

Ok

Theyre not backwards compatible with all 360 games. Also, while 4GB is not enough, hard drives can be found for cheap.

I wouldn't say it's worthless, you can use external hard drives on the now so 4gb is perfect if you have an external laying around.

Not all games will be BC, it just not going to happen so to play certain games, you'll need a .

The problem there though is you are gonna be spending 100+ for the system and said hard drive right off the bat unless you have a compatible internal or external laying around. A 120gb one is also on awd for 78$ So I don't see the point for going for the 4gb at a 10$ difference regardless. Now if they were said to be the most reliable version of the system then you'd have a reason to get it.

Or if your console has something go wrong with it you can buy a 4gb and stick your hard drive in it.

120gb is a phat console though, 4gb is a slim. Slims are more reliable and better imo.

Or if your console has something go wrong with it you can buy a 4gb and stick your hard drive in it.

haha, yea I got a 500gb in my 4gb console plus an external

I can't believe how cheap these have gotten since the holidays.

(VG) $77,49
(LN) $82.05

Welp I went ahead and got one since I have trade in pending for a Kinect bundle. Hopefully it doesn't expire anytime soon lol it's from December.

Yeah, I enjoy reading stories like that since I have restored a few consoles myself. I bought new analog sticks from Amazon to restore the 360 controller I use now. It works better than ever.

It's more reliable than the original, as it's an S model. I don't know if there's any difference between the S and E in terms of reliability.

The 120 GB is an old model, so reliability could be an issue. I know I had one of those that died, but it was a launch chip set. My HDMI phat from 2009 is still alive and well.

I'd rather spend $72 + $30 for a 250GB HDD for an S model, rather than $78 for $120 of GB on an older phat model.

Tried it on a hard drive and it said it couldn't be applied to this order. I'm guessing there's restrictions on what it can be applied to or who can use it.

Same happened to me on a hard drive I wonder what things are eligible for the code.

I received my Wii U that I got for $209.44 and it looks like it's not not scratched in amazing condition not sure if the the power base for the game pad is included in there but came in there too but unfortunately the game wasn't pre-installed is there anyway that I can get it? Without having to buy it.

Received my (VG) Elite controller last week; everything was fairly new except for a few small fingerprints on the rear underneath the paddles. As I'm removing some of the tape on the box I noticed that the tape had the Bestbuy logo on it. If it was a trade in, I wouldn't have been able to guess. Super weird  :^o

Got my $0.81 dragon today. It was a dinger, totally new just missing the outer box. But for something that Amazon claims is a $100 toy it is surprisingly cheap seeming. Hollow plastic and a shitty paint job don't seem in line with what the cost is supposed to be, or what the reviews said about it. Maybe my hopes were too high, and for what I paid it was clearly worth it. Here is the item for reference

I did some digging and one Youtube reviewer said that it was $22.98 at Walmart when it released. Looks like it's just another somewhat rare item that inflated in price after it went out of production.
