I remember I use to go to REI used gear sales, that take place on Saturday Mornings in their Parking lot. Where REI gets rid of the customer returns, open box , and slightly damaged goods for a pretty substantial discount.
But very time a sale is held, which was once every quarter, there would be a long line at REI by 7:30AM for a sale that starts at 8AM.
When they open the gates at 8 AM, there would be a stampeded on the stuff sitting in the parking lot.
For the 3 trips I took to the Used Gear sale, I think I only bought one thing, a used Pair of Vaude boots 40% off retail. I remember thinking to myself, there must be an easier way for a bargain hunter like me, who don’t mind buying like-new or gently used items.
Good news! Now there is — with Amazon Warehouse Deals.
Did you know you can find huge discounts on like-new, and used products on Amazon too, with Amazon Warehouse Deals?
Read this guide to learn how.
But first of all, what is an Amazon Warehouse Deal?
What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
When a customer returns a product to Amazon, Amazon sometimes puts the returned item back into the regular inventory. But if the product or the packaging is damaged even slightly, Amazon will declare the item to be “un-fufillable”, as in not in saleable condition as New anymore.
When an item becomes un-fufillable, the seller of the item needs to either take the item back, or ask Amazon to dispose of it.
If the seller chooses to have Amazon dispose of it, the dirty secret is that Amazon sometimes doesn’t destroy the item, they actually will attempt to sell it as “Used”, at a lower price, in order to get rid of it.
There are also rare cases, when Amazon loses track of a batch of inventory, and then finds the inventory and has already re-imbursed the seller for “lost” inventory.
The newly found inventory may be sold under Amazon Warehouse Deals, as “Used – Like New”, at a discount.
Can I return Items bought from Amazon Warehouse Deals?
Absolutely. According to Amazon Warehouse Deals Return Policy
This is the beauty of the Warehouse Deals. Amazon offers the same great return policy as regular Amazon products. Even if the item is bought used, at a steep discount, you can still return it to Amazon. All items are Prime Eligible too!(You can try Amazon Prime free for 30 days!) So shipping is free and fast. Try comparing this to eBay or Craiglist.
How to Find The Deeply Discounted (70+% Off) Amazon Warehouse Deals

Find the Best Amazon Warehouse Deals for a Particular item
To find the best warehouse deal for a product you’re looking for, follow these steps.
1. Go to Amazon Warehouse Deals Page
Click HERE to go to Amazon’s Warehouse Deals page. This page shows all products offered by Amazon Warehouse Deals. As you can see, there are 600,000+ items offered.
3. Narrow the Selection with Special URL Code
We can further narrow down to only the Best deals, by specifying that we want only the ones with 70% off or more from MSRP. We do that by manually adding the following text to the end of the URL in the web address bar.
&pct-off=70-&sort=price-asc-rank
We can manually hack the URL at Amazon by adding XXX to the end long web address. This will make Amazon show only items that are 70% off or more. You can change the 70 to 80 or 90, to show items with 80% or 90% off too.[/caption]
You can specify a discount larger than 70%, but changing the 70 to a number you desire.
4. Choose the Item You Want to Buy
If you don’t see the item you want, you can try entering a slightly different search term. i.e. Bicycle Helmet instead of Bike Helmet. But each time you enter a new search term. You must re-add the &pct-off=70-&sort=price-asc-rank again to the web address bar.
5. Find the Color/Size Combination That Has the Warehouse Price
If the item has multiple sizes and colors like a helmet, or shoes there may only be one size and color combination that has the lowest Amazon Warehouse Deals price.
When you click on the item from search results, and arrive at the product listing page, the color of the Lowest Price will be already highlighted. But the size will need to be chosen from the drop down menu. You will need to try each size option, to find the size that has the lowest price.
For our example, the lowest Amazon Warehouse Deals price was $10.23, and was only for Gloss White in XL size.
6. Click on the Amazon Warehouse Deals Add to Cart
On the next page, you can add the item to cart and finish check out. The offer is from Amazon Warehouse Deals. So you get all the great benefits of Amazon Prime. The item is Like-New, so it might have minor scratches, or box may not be in the greatest shape. If you’re not 100% happy with it, Amazon offers great and easy return policy!

The reviews for warehouse deals is ridiculously BAD!!! I haven’t used them nor will I, and neither should you! Do your research and see all the people that have been scams by this service.
What the fuck are you talkin about? This isn’t a service it’s just an article about warehouse deals. Idiot.
I buy a lot of items from warehouse deals. Over the years, I haves sent back items only three times. The percent off in this article works great! Tried it out today and ended up buying two things and adding others to lists. I saw things that were more than 90% off, but didn’t need. Something was $450 normally, but only $45. I did a google search for the item to compare prices and it was spot on. When buying from warehouse deals, I have found that the condition doesn’t really reflect the actual condition of the item. Have bought something that was acceptable condition many times over only to have it arrived looking new in a new box without any damage at all. Something that was like $10, but supposed to be $50 or more. Can’t find anything wrong with it at all. My sister worked for Amazon for a year or so and she told me that same thing. Like new is often new, but I have found that any condition can be new or like new.
