F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
Warehouse Deals is part of amazon that has open box, generally like new items.

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.

What condition are products from Warehouse Deals generally in?
Usually, games are re-shrinked wrap and almost in perfect condition. Any game i have personally ever bought has in like new condition. However, 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.

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

I'm waiting for the 360 slim, or ps3 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... 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.

Just got my Like New :gba:Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones in the mail today and they shipped it in a bubble mailer. Not sure if it was because it was in the mailer but the box was a little worn but not crushed. I also hate how they put the sticker on the box so it gets ruined. Luckily it didnt get ruined when I peeled it off, now just need to get rid of the sticky stuff left behind.

Yeah, they really need to stop it with the stickers. If I wanted to buy stuff with stickers all over it, I'd go to Gamestop. There's no reason for it.
 
The stickers take all of 20 seconds to peel off and getting the residue off involves re-sticking and re-peeling the stickers a couple of times. Same thing with shit from Gamestop, unless they're really OLD stickers, then you might need a jackhammer to get them off.:razz:

Actually there's a very good reason for it. Those stickers are necessary for inventory tracking in amazon's warehouse. They couldn't sell you anything without them.

Place outside the re-shrink.

Damn I'm clever!
 
Stickers are quite frustrating on GBA, N64, and SNES boxes but I've been able to get them off fine. It just takes a bit of work if they do not come off cleanly. I've still been able to use adhesive remover on the boxes just fine. I just have to do so slowly and carefully. Instead of applying it directly I put it on a paper towel an then slowly rub any remaining residue off.

I always try to find a second game that will ship together with any boxed game I really don't want to get damaged in transit. Any single game will always ship in a bubble mailer.

i sold my kinect on craigslist for $100, although it took a few weeks. I originally listed it for $120, but only received cash offers of $100, and one gamestop gift card offer for the full $120. I made sure to point out that it did not include the power adapter needed to use with older consoles and didn't have any problems.
 
The price is good for like new condition given the current market value. It is definitely under the average selling price on eBay and about equal to lowest you might be able to get it for. And even then it probably would be in better condition through POM Media and no hassle possibly having to deal with low feedback sellers to get it for around that.
 
Earlier, someone posted a site where you could buy game manuals/cases/artwork, anyone remember what that site was? I can't seem to find the post.
 
Thinking about ordering that Ogre Battle. Anyone have experience with POM? When they say like new does that mean the disc will be flawless and everything will be complete? I sent them an email, but I haven't gotten a response yet.
 
POM in my experience is pretty good, their descriptions are accurate. If it doesn't mention something missing then it is there, even at the lower qualities.

FYI though amazon fulfillment center sometimes reseals stuff, some of the snes/n64/gba boxes I've gotten have been resealed (using those little round stickers pc games used to use). Sometimes that can kind of fuck up the paper boxes.

If the game comes and the disc is scratched up or something (because to me like new should look like brand new except that it's been unsealed) do I have any recourse?
 
I hate that this used to be a thread of awesome deals, now it's just a thread of all the finds we used to get excited about at 2-3 dollars off.
 
[quote name='jling84']If the game comes and the disc is scratched up or something (because to me like new should look like brand new except that it's been unsealed) do I have any recourse?[/QUOTE]If that happens, you can do what I did when I received my "Like New" Suikoden V that should have been "Good" (the disc showed signs of wear, the case was very slightly worn, and there were marker writings on the case and disc): I sent an email to Amazon detailing that the condition of the game didn't follow Amazon's own seller policies for the condition of video games, and that while I didn't want to return the game (I had been looking for it for a while), I hoped AWD would follow Amazon's policies more closely in the future. Amazon responded by offering a 15% refund, which I promptly accepted.

So if you don't want to keep the game, you could get a refund, but if the game is in an acceptable enough condition that you'd want to keep it--and the condition wasn't what you were told it'd be--you can get a partial refund.
 
kind of OT, has anyone ordered from the seller Piece of Media on amazon, their games don't have any description. Should I assume that the game comes complete or not? Thanks!

I've ordered a few things from them I believe. Latest thing was a copy of Ys 6 and yeah it came with everything. If it doesn't though you can always just return it for free.
 
Amazon just refunded the full purchase price of my :gba: Sonic Advance that I got cause they shipped it in a bubble mailer and it looked like the box got ruined because of that.
 
Awesome thanks for all the info guys. Pulled the trigger on the Ogre Battle game. Bought this new when it was released and stupidly sold it to someone. Hopefully it really is in "Like New" condition - it will be a great addition to my collection.
 
[quote name='CreepinDeth']Are those legit? Because this is awesome![/QUOTE]

There was a thread about them a while back. Some people said the PSP inserts were fakes - only had artwork on one side.

If you are familiar with AWD games POM Media is pretty much the same. The discs will be resurfaced. Unfortunately PS1 games show this more that other types of discs. The quality of the resurface is usually fairly good, but I get games occasionally where they did not do a good job.

Most discs are scratch free and work fine. But if not you can easily return using the same online process as an Amazon product.

Unfortunately the jewel case is often in rough shape. I replace every case I get from AWD and POM. 95% of the time the manual is in excellent shape with only very minimal wear. But if you get unlucky and get a heavily worn manual or aren't happy with any component you can easily return it.

I don't know what thread you are referring to but they are definitely legit. Most genuine PSP inserts only have artwork on one side...
 
Just got my Blazblue: CT Limited Edition from POM. It was in great condition and the DvD case where the soundtrack is at was still sealed. Awesome for only $11.77. ^_^
 
Has anyone ever noticed UPS purposely delaying your package if they're ahead of schedule? I have one coming tomorrow that made a seemingly unnecessary stop in Pennsylvania because I bought five other games that came from the same warehouse and none of them made this stop. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, I just thought it was odd.

UPS is all about being on a strict time schedule. I don't think they'd keep something purposely though.

Not with UPS, but my latest USPS shipment from Amazon got parked in a city an hour from my house for two days before it was delivered to me. Annoying.
 
These are Amazon's own guidelines for videogames, (not that they are that well observed by 3rd party sellers or Amazon) AWD would probably offer a small refund or just tell you to return it.

* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Unacceptable: Video games that are not playable or are incomplete, including shareware and freeware versions, are unacceptable, as are games not published by the original manufacturer, including recopied media in any form. Promotional media is prohibited for sale through Amazon Marketplace as well. Additionally, video games in which essential accompanying material is missing (this does not necessarily include the box or instructions) are not permitted.

You may also want to look at the case/artwork/manual thread right here on CAG, as many CAG's have some decent stuff on their lists.

I myself have around 500-600 plus between PS3/360/Wii and PS2.

Yeah. It kinda sucks that they jacked up the prices so much, but since the price increases/decreases seem to be cyclical with Amazon they will hopefully go back down soon enough.

I don't care about the jewel case, but if the disc is resurfaced it's definitely going back. Way too many times you'll play a resurfaced game and somewhere in the middle the game will just freeze and be unplayable. On top of that resurfaced definitely does not qualify as "Like New".

Do they charge any kind of restocking fee? I'm assuming they'll pay the return shipping as well?

Except not really related to SD at all.
It's been said many times that the AWD prices go in cycles. They'll start dropping again and get low for some months, then jump back up. It has happened multiple times since the first AWD thread popped up on CAG.

Ugh, you directed me to your list sometime last year, but every time I look at it, I see so many manuals and inserts that I need that I end up never making a list. You do have a lot, that's for sure.
 
The thing with AWD and POM Media is it is not like they resurface the discs because they are in horrible shape and did not work. It seems to just be standard procedure for them to resurface every disc they sell except for maybe PS3. If you don't want resurfaced discs no point in checking this thread unless you are looking for cartridge based games.

Their resurfacing is certainly not going to affect the playability of the disc in a negative way. I've bought a ton of PS1 games from AWD/POM and only had to send a few back because of readability issues with the disc. The nice thing about PS1 games is that the discs are readable in standard PC drives and you can use disc testing software to test the entire disc. I use Nero. You can go to http://www.nero.com/enu/tools-utilities.html , click on Nero Disc Speed and there is a download link. Use the last tab: ScanDisc. For PS1 I'd recommend setting the speed to 24X instead of maximum for more accurate results.

There is no restocking fee. If you don't feel the condition of the game is as described just go to your order history and click return. They will give you a shipping label which is usually UPS or will refund estimated shipping charges if you ship it yourself. I've always dropped off at the UPS store have no experience using the other option. You do have 30 days before you have to return the game if you want to play it for awhile before deciding if you want to keep it.

Ah I see, I wish I had known. So there's no chance that the disc coming will not be resurfaced if it's PS1? I think I can still cancel my order. I'd rather not have to go through the hassle of making a return.
