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 states does Amazon charge sales tax?
Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the following states are subject to tax:

Arizona
California
Connecticut

Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Note: No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift cards; however, purchases paid for with gift cards may be subject to 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".

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

Just been wondering this but do you exactly need the proper Vita/3DS box? I've seen a kid go into my local GameStop where they were glad to give away a console case that they would use normally. It's just a suggestion if you're close to one and where you could see if you can get a generic Vita/3DS box. And just print out the back and front cover.

You should. It's TTG's best Lego game, and I'm not really a big Marvel fan either. Lego movie game was okay, felt rushed probably for the movie.

Best one I've played in a long time. It just needs to go on sale somewhere so I can finish it since I traded it to target for $55 today.

TRU is doing a Buy 2 for $70. Sounds like a money maker of sorts. Pick up a game for $15, trade the rest?

I'm torn in what 2 I should pick. Not counting Lego The Hobbit.

Not the actual Vita case, I mean the cardboard box the case and cd come packaged in. I got a dinger, but it was probably too damaged so they just took the insides out and shipped that in a plastic zip lock type bag.

Non-dinger LN PS4 up for $296. Dinger Wii U Deluxes up for $280. I hope AWD prices come back to earth sometime soon, this is disappointing. The Wii U systems were $235 a few weeks ago.

that tales keeps dropping makes me wish i had more to trade in to target but gamestop got me with the fake 50 pct deal followed by the real 50 pct deal a couple weeks ago

 
Great day of results today....

Got my (A) NBA 2K14 (PS4) which was basically like new minus a manual (if they even package those still).

Got my $10 Ghosts Hardened edition. No damage to anything. Only thing that was missing were the codes (they were in there just redeemed already) so can't complain at all.

Also got my (G) Xbox One which came in pretty damn pristine condition. For some reason Titanfall is listed in the "Ready to install" area of my games/apps even though I never bought it. When I got to Titanfall on the store there is no price for it. Just says install. Did I somehow crazily luck out or something?

I ordered a copy of Titanfall too I wouldn't mind having to return it. But I am not sure if they somehow gifted the game to me by accident or if this is a demo and I'm dumb and can't find the full game.

Whoever had it before probably bought titanfall on the system. I think with digital games, there is a system association and a profile association. The game will work on the system associated with the original purchase, no matter the profile playing it. The game will also always work with the profile that bought it, even if that profile is on another system. However, the original purchaser can update that license and transfer it to a new xbox in the future.

So as long as the person doesn't update their licenses, titanfall should work for you. If they do, it will probably stop working.

Good to hear. I really want to try and find a (G) Xbox One. Would you mind if I asked how much you paid?

Awesome. I just cancelled my Titanfall order with Amazon. Hopefully this person is a die hard Sony fan who gave Titanfall a try, hated it, and will never touch an Xbox again lmao

$362.50. Like I said at the time, not sure if that is a great deal or not but I jumped on the first one that came up. Got lucky apparently too because it came in great condition and it came with a few free games apparently until the owner decides to take them away lol.

Thanks for answering. I was looking at around the $350 price range so it's nice to see them going for around that price.
