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

I have no idea. But the shipping times were horrendous and most of the sellers weren't exactly reliable. Most of the descriptions were pretty comical. Not to say you won't get it timely and it will work fine, but not a chance I was taking.

The 163's sound amazing if they deliver. Read like a dinger to me.

Just watch mine get fulfilled and it will be one that someone swapped their destroyed and jizzed on OLED model into and used the code.

What am I missing from the Target thread?
Click to expand...
A lot of whining and internet posturing about how evil target is for dropping the prices after everyone went nuts yesterday trading games for retail value and even more so for having an issue preventing the mobile kiosks from activating gift cards so they took the trade system down. Then more butthurt on top of that because some random manager made up some random time and told it to someone who then posted it and everyone took it as something to actually expect.

yeah but I was under the assumption that you can change the language to english and such and theirs no region locks im not 100% sure am I wrong ?

The Vita BL2 bundle doesn't exist outside NA. So among the other completely fishy things about it (one "Japanese" seller saying they shipped from Hong Kong, new sellers with no feedback, the numerous spelling errors) that should be a red flag. The ones we all bought and will have cancelled were AWD dingers.

I just don't think there were many issues with them. Mine's just fine and came complete and even had the HDD adapter on it.

I bought 2. Both work great. Neither one came with a controller. Neither one came with an av cable. One was missing the expansion bay cover and one had a chipped power button. I was still very happy for the price.

I ended up trading in one as acceptable to amazon for $56 and I kept the other. I sent in a spare av cable I had with it just to be safe they had everything needed to test the console.

doesnt eld already have a vita? Why would he want to get another (inferior) one
Click to expand...
Because I've come around to the view that the new model is actually superior (at least to my preferences) even if the screen is just good and not outstanding.

So if I can get a slim for the right price I'm planning to replace it and then hook up a CAG with my LN Vita for a good price.

But what if something happens to that one?
Click to expand...
puff that is why I own 4. One for each bathroom (2), each in a dry box to keep it from moisture damage so I don't have to take them out when I'm not in the throne, then one for the house and another for out and about lmao . I actually just own one, but I do use a black Wii strap on it, trying to get some use out of my wii stuff.

Also, I'm waiting for AWD to drop under a dollar some of those old sports games for the ps3, need some cases!

Can't wait for that month after Watch Dogs comes out to see how quick it falls. I'm betting 40 bucks 2 weeks after release.
Click to expand...
You're going to lose that bet. I don't think Watch Dogs is going to be as great as the hype but no way it drops to $40 in 2 weeks. The preorder numbers are really good for that game. It'll sell well right out the gate.

yeah, i mean, the main reason it ACIV hit 39.99 was because it was released around black friday.

but im sure there will be a 39.99 sale within the month somewhere

Well remember it's an Ubi game so it's going to be fast. South Park has been $40 pretty consistently somewhere from about a month after release. Two weeks may be jumping the gun a bit but it's not that far off.

 
I'm pretty sure you guys all know this by now, but just in case, preorder watchdogs at Microsoft.com and you get a $15 giftcard

(Figured since you guys were talking about it it might help someone)

I'm pre-ordering it from Kmart with the $40 in points I just got from pre-ordering Wolfenstein (with the $30 in points I got from buying Kirby and Mario Golf) and will get $30 back from Watch Dogs. Should be out $100 for all four games while still have another $30 in points to spend.

Edit- I actually just checked the shipping and despite only being shipped a couple hours ago it's going to be here tomorrow with the free shipping. If they keep doing that running these chainable points offers they'll keep getting my business. Just too bad they only get select titles these days.

Maybe 2 weeks is jumping it but I don't think a month is. Ubi always over produces their games and the big ones always fall quick.

it probably will do awesome, Ubisoft still drops their prices quickly, they ain't no Nintendo. Plus that only means places like AWD will be flooded after people start trading their copies back in.

I hate CoD and I'll order on of those for free, haha thanks for the heads up man

Idk, free still seems a bit over priced for ghosts. Especially with all the extra stuff reminding you that you own such a horrendous game. I'm going to wait til they start paying a pain and suffering premium for owning the game!
 
My friend just posted this on my FB wall. This is just too random for me and you know that means a lot, seeing as how I'm the king of random.

May be worth checking out, but the daily deal is an HD refurb. Not sure of anything specific. And I swear I seen one on AWD not too long ago(a few hours or so, looking at the vitas) but it's not there now.

Another note- anyone know if the Oragami case for the HD will fit the HDX?

Edit: Must have been yesterday's deal, or I'm losing it one.
