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.

Items sold by Warehouse Deals and shipped to destinations in Alaska are also subject to local sales tax.

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

Any tips on finding deals?
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:
gallery_327158_7630_1370780661_26889.jpg


(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:
gallery_327158_7630_1370780661_26890.jpg


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! :)

I do not know if this has been mentioned, but the new No-Rush-Shipping credit can be used on anything digital now, including Video Game Software and PSN Cards.

 
Is there a way to not auto apply Amazon credit to orders? My wife cleaned me out last week and I didn't realize it til I was checking out yesterday.

I think it's an option at the checkout screen where you can change your payment options.
As far as I can tell it's only when you check out. There is no way to set it as the default.

Think of it this way, that's money that your wife didn't spend so now you can spend it.

Good point. I'm also pretty sure you can't say to not use credit by default.

 
Thanks anyways guys. Maybe I'll just change the password so she has to check with me before ordering things. I have a feeling there's not going to be a delicate solution to this.
 
Separate accounts brother.
No reason at all not to do this. You can share Prime in the household, so videos, shipping etc isn't an issue. Separate payments, separate ordering so that Christmas or a birthday doesn't get ruined.

Sharing an Amazon account is like having a shared Facebook account. Don't be that (emasculated) guy.

 
I still randomly say "8-ball" and "Hey! High five"

I never wore jncos, but I was a pioneer in the big pants movement. If you were a real trendsetter you bought your jeans about 10 sizes too big and used a belt. By the time jncos came to be we were already back to regular jeans.

yea they are coming back but not in the same big way as before lol

Sternberg hopes to bring back brand recognition with flared legs that are 20 inches and 23 inches wide.

He admitted this is a far cry from the 60-inch flares the brand used to make. But he hinted that even the giant pants might come back.

JNCO jeans are totally coming back, dude

 
Would've jumped on that Mario + Luigi U Plus game if I knew I'd get a case + manual.  Guess it could still be worth it if you were cool with a local GS who let you swap your no case game for a case or some other such "take this free case" option.

 
Posting this separate so people don't quote the links.

I got a "Very Good" DS game in from AWD today and it's just the cart in a case. I went to do a chat with customer service and noticed that the description said this:

Condition: Used - Very Good - Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item may come repackaged. Factory Sealed. Item is missing cover art. Item is missing boxed set case.

Pretty sure that description goes against Amazon's trade-in standards. I suppose it's my fault for not reading the description, but really, AWD should know better than that.

Factory sealed doesn't mean factory sealed, it means amazon shrink wrapped it. In their eyes, that's a super legit description lol although obviously it reads as kind of contradictory nonsense.

I got a "Very Good" DS game in from AWD today and it's just the cart in a case. I went to do a chat with customer service and noticed that the description said this:

Condition: Used - Very Good - Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase. Item may come repackaged. Factory Sealed. Item is missing cover art. Item is missing boxed set case.

Pretty sure that description goes against Amazon's trade-in standards. I suppose it's my fault for not reading the description, but really, AWD should know better than that.
I once received a copy of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles that was listed as Very Good, yet came in a Blu-ray movie case (in other words, it was clear blue and smaller than a PS3 case) and was missing its manual. I didn't even notice the latter until months later, when it was too late to return it (thanks, backlog).

 
do I need a Forza Xbox One Controller?   Nope, but bought it anyway, I hope I got a dinger.. guess I need to ditch the Silver Halo one or something.   

 
Got my (LN) Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition

Everything seems to be in pretty good condition. It was resealed. Only negative for me is the sticker on the actual box....Goo Gone should take care of that

Also, I think it's all there, didn't check to see what should be included, also there's the code but I think it's worthless now

you should at least check crap out to see if its actually what your ordered and not a bag of fire ants or covered in mysterious green goop. I mean how would you even know it was a game if you never opened the envelope or whatever it was in?

Speaking of I really should check all my games/systems to make sure they all function properly. Though most of what I have bought recently has been either new or dingers and I at least always look at the discs to see if there are any scratches and such. I always make an effort to test the more risky items though like that phat ps3. So glad I got a dinger on that one. Shocked they would have one lyin around after all this time. Now I just need to get around to buying a hard drive for it or something.

As you basically just said, it can be easy to forget or put off checking things, and I'm usually not too worried about the condition of any Blu-ray media that I get. I've always appreciated the fact that they're practically indestructible/immune to the regular wear and tear that you'll see most CDs/DVDs accumulate over time.

 
Man, update on my meme status AWD computer case

I finally got the refund done

and they paid me the shipping cost (it was $45 bucks, man)

happy ending

and my only return for a long time, hopefully

By checking I ment doing a more thorough check via either testing the game for an hour or running it through disc check. I always make a cursory look at them to see if there's any damage an such but I haven't tested a game in quite some time.

 
Random question about amazon. Anyone here been getting longer 2 day shipping times as of the past two weeks? Is this just because they are so busy right now? It wasnt like this the last few years around this time. Im ordering things with two day shipping and for example, something ordered today wont get here until Monday? It used to get here by Friday. Feels like two day shipping is becoming 6 day shipping.

 
Tempting to get just for the figure, but the description makes it sound like a trade in so I wonder if it'll even have it.
I bought one a month or so ago for that same reason. Came everything complete looked pretty much new. Might be worth taking a chance on. Figure is real nice.

know how I know you don't read this thread

 
Which is why it is better to just choose no rush and get those delivery credits. You aren't going to get 2 day shipping this time of year. Well at least not from amazon, my woman got a package from bed bath in 2 days.

Or any time of year. It's sad when they were getting almost every no rush package to me quicker than 2 day stuff. They sent at least half of all my no rush order overnight.

Yeah I've gotten packages within 2 days when I was not a prime member last year. Other then being several hours away from Lexington KY where most my packages come from.

Probably someone who has been banned recently.
