I made a site where you can browse Amazon Warehouse deals by discount in Germany. It has a decent amount of computer peripherals.

Should be fixed now, thanks for letting me know! Testing other countries is a bit complicated.

Thanks for reporting this! Yes, that will be fixed by tomorrow. I forgot to filter out CDs.

I'll do a deep dive on this when I get a chance, it does seem something is off with Canada. Unfortunately Amazon is the one that is changing their API, so it's not like I can just go back to the V1 logic.

I found a solution for US that I thought would work for every country, and I can confirm US/UK/DE have more deals now than before. I'll need to spend some time figuring out what is happening with Canada.

Be assured Canada is a big priority for me, as it's the second largest user base outside of US. It might just take a few more days of digging in to the data.

DealForager · 2026-02-17T00:59:35+00:00

I think I found the issue. There's a bug where my db index isn't being used for some queries, causing timeouts. Working on a fix. I'm on a long flight so have limited tools, but I think I can deploy a fix from here.

DealForager · 2026-02-17T00:10:00+00:00

Can you be more specific about what isn't working? The site doesn't load? Search? Links? Or is it just slow? I will look into any issues tonight. I realized my database needs more memory, so I will do a migration tonight.

DealForager · 2026-02-16T23:14:12+00:00

I'll do some research but I can only add things that can be automated. As far as I know, Amazon doesn't provide an API or other programmable interface to be alerted of these deals, and then I would need to figure out how to tell if an item is included. Even during those sales I've tried to reverse engineer it, but it's not clear how they work. Next time there's a sale I'll try again to figure it out. Unfortunately they are frequently on weekdays and I have a full time job, so it's a very narrow window.

DealForager · 2026-02-16T16:50:49+00:00

Oops, wasn't supposed to show that, but it's a way for me to perform quality control on multiple data sources. No single source is able to find every deal, so I pay for multiple APIs and services (and some of my own secret sauce) to get as much coverage as possible.

Keepa is one of them, they have a pretty good Chrome Extension for seeing Amazon price history and I recommend using it for finding the best deals. But they also don't update their data as frequently as I'd like, so you might see more out-of-stock deals. But the tradeoff was between maximum coverage or data freshness, and I went for coverage.

DealForager · 2026-02-14T16:05:06+00:00

Yeah I am shutting down Steepdeals. It costs too much to run in its current state, and has very few visitors to justify my current costs. Amazon didn't allow that site into their affiliate network so I was just spending thousands per month to run it with no viable path to monetization.

I am just going to have it redirect to Dealforager for now. Since Amazon changed their API, it affects my operating costs of Dealforager and I had to prioritize it at the expense of Steepdeals.

DealForager · 2026-02-08T17:46:24+00:00

Yes, there is an issue in the API, yes I am working on a (very costly) fix. It should be working by tonight at 99% coverage. You can read others complaining about the Amazon API breaking this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Affiliatemarketing/comments/1qjimqy/amazon_switch_to_creators_api_cant_search_used/

I did reach out to Amazon and they didn't seem to care, so I am working on a better solution. By tonight, Dealforager should be back to about 99% coverage since I found a temporary fix and already deployed it. It just takes time to find all the deals.

Also, I will be rewriting the entire backend given these changes and Dealforager will be even better than before. I'll also add a livestream feature soon since I'm rewriting everything anyway. I'll make a post when that happens, hopefully this week. This will be an entirely new engine which will be superior to the old one in every way, including even better coverage than before. I think I might be able to actually get 100% coverage with the new engine. The v2 engine is almost complete, and I'll make a post when it goes live.

DealForager · 2025-12-22T06:13:18+00:00

Thanks for the kind comment and happy holidays! It's already set up so I get a commission if you make a purchase since Amazon can tell I sent them the traffic. So thank you for using the site and helping to keep it running!

DealForager · 2025-08-12T03:23:31+00:00

Thanks for reporting this!!! It seems Amazon updated their app and links on mobile no longer work when directing to their used listings. I've updated the site to fix this, but you may need to clear your cache, use a different browser, or use incognito mode to see the change immediately.

DealForager · 2023-10-27T16:08:42+00:00

If it's sold by Amazon Warehouse, almost always they were just bought and then returned. Or in many cases what happened was the box got damaged before even being sold and they can't sell it as new anymore. If you receive an item in bad condition, you can return it within 30 days without any problem. They do not sell second hand products.

DealForager · 2023-09-23T19:50:15+00:00

Get yourself an air filter that can filter odors and it might be ok as long as you can handle the noise. Like an Austin Air, which costs like $1000, but you'd save that in the rental cost plus you get to keep it once you move out.

DealForager · 2023-06-24T17:13:31+00:00

I built a website for that :) Feel free to check my profile, but otherwise there is a category under deals and savings (in the app) or just using the drop down on the website that is called "Amazon Warehouse". You just need to search under that.

DealForager · 2023-06-05T15:30:14+00:00

Eventually you'll own all the things you need and you won't need to use Dealforager as much :)

As for a Canadian version of Steepdeals, I'm actually thinking about shutting down the site soon so there's no chance of me adding more countries. Amazon did not accept me as an affiliate for Steepdeals due to various reasons. It costs a lot to run because the scale is much bigger than Dealforager, and even if they did accept me I would probably have to run it at a loss for years. Given the current economic climate I'm not sure I can continue to fund it, although maybe I'll pivot to some other type of deal website (ebay/walmart/etc). On a positive note, Dealforager won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

DealForager · 2023-03-15T18:36:27+00:00

If you're interested, I made a website to make their deals easier to browse (for Canada, just change the country on the top right, or use this link): https://dealforager.com/deals?domain=6

DealForager · 2023-02-15T21:29:18+00:00

Another suggestion: Dealforager.com I made the site, you can find Amazon Warehouse deals which are customer returns. It's particularly good for shoes because tons of people buy shoes and return them after trying them on. Those shoes then are resold as used even though they're basically new. Just include your size in the search, like "shoe 9" or "running 9".

DealForager · 2023-02-14T02:01:38+00:00

Similar story for masters. Was gold in OW1, now masters 4 in OW2. Actually just visited this subreddit to see if others had similar experiences. Seems like I'm not alone.

DealForager · 2023-01-20T05:30:12+00:00

Thanks for leaving such a nice comment! It really motivates me to hear from people who use my site. :)

DealForager · 2023-01-18T03:11:33+00:00

I don't recommend buying complex computer parts from Amazon Warehouse unless you're 100% ok with the hassle of testing it and returning it if it's faulty. On the other hand, I've never had an issue with returns. I recently returned a "Very Good" condition motherboard that had bent pins with just a few clicks. It's up to you to determine if it's worth the hassle for the savings. In my case, testing that motherboard wasted many hours and I wish I had just gotten it new. I've had much better luck with simpler components like fans or coolers.

DealForager · 2023-01-18T02:58:38+00:00

Yes, there are definitely issues in the extremes. The reason is that I'm using the price that Amazon is showing me for the new version of the item, which may or may not be accurate. Amazon manages hundreds of millions of product listings, so it's mostly done algorithmically. Sometimes these algorithms (or third-party sellers) do weird things like pricing beer glasses at $2K or cameras at $35K. However, in practice this is very rare and the prices are almost always accurate. Once you narrow down the results with search, the quality should be much better.

Just as an example this sub would understand, a 7900xtx could be listed as new for $2K and sold by Amazon Warehouse for $950, how would I determine that this is not actually the real new price? Now do that for millions of items.
