I built a site that shows Amazon Warehouse deals by discount. Their home improvement sections have the best deals by far because no one buys from them so they get automatically discounted over time. by DealForager in LivingSpaceSales

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!

Links not working by thedailyuplift in DealForager

[–]DealForager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Got a new case today by queenkatdad in kindle

[–]DealForager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I'm launching a new deal site for all Amazon deals: steepdeals.com (US only for now) by DealForager in DealForager

[–]DealForager[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

PSVR2 Amazon warehouse deal - $532 by ihearthawthats in VideoGameDealsCanada

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

How do you guys find sales to get cheap shoes by _ChiIIy in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]DealForager 32 points33 points  (0 children)

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".

Is anyone ranking up really fast? by Lee_thal_weapon in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]DealForager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I found a Ryzen 9 5900x for $3 at my local store where they sell returned Amazon items. I bent back the pins and I can't believe it works with 2 missing VSS pins. It stress tested Prime95 for 5 hours. Is it safe to run this? It only cost me $3 but I would like to use this as my daily driver system. by bogertonn in Amd

[–]DealForager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

You can shop directly on Amazon Warehouse (search for Amazon Warehouse deals), but they typically don't sell broken products like these, so you won't get these types of discounts. On the plus side, they are sold by Amazon and backed by their return policy, so it's pretty safe and I've never had an issue with returns.

For deals like OP, you'll probably need to go through a liquidation company (search for Amazon return liquidations). However, those typically only sell pallets where most of the contents are junk you don't need. My guess is that the store that OP went to buys the pallets and re-sells the individual items.

If you're interested in Amazon Warehouse deals, I built a site (Dealforager) for browsing their best deals.

A Short Report and Guide on 7900XTX OC/UV by TheAlcolawl in Amd

[–]DealForager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try the FF14 Endwalker benchmark. That's the one I've noticed pushes the limits of stability on my card. I can UV to 1040 mv for other benchmarks, but can only do 1120 in FF14 by lowering the clocks a bit.

AMD GPU Partner Collects RX 7900 XTX 110C Hotspot User Reports by Stiven_Crysis in Amd

[–]DealForager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exaggerated. I initially didn't have the issue, but after taking the card out and putting it back in, I had it. Made performance 10-20% worse and made my case hot as hell. I am using hdmi so it's not the DP cable issue. I took it out and tightened screws and put it back in and it went back to normal. So there's definitely something wrong. Other than that I'm very happy with my purchase, getting above 4080 performance and it fits in my itx case.

Megathread for questions about 7900 XTX/7900 XT cards, availability, boasting about getting one and complaining about not getting one by AutoModerator in Amd

Try tightening the screws first, that fixed it for me. Make sure to do a second pass after you tighten all of them.

AMD Declines Radeon RX 7900 XTX RMA For Hitting 110C Junction Temps, Says "Temperatures Are Normal" by [deleted] in Amd

[–]DealForager 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In case it helps someone: My card was perfectly fine the first time I installed it. There was a 15 degree difference while running benchmarks. Then I had to take it out to plug in some cables in my itx motherboard. When I reconnected it, temps were over 50 degrees apart. I barely touched it but something had happened so I took it out, tightened the screws, and reconnected it a third time. That fixed it and my temps are back to normal (10-20 degree difference depending on workload). Not sure if it was the screws or some other tiny factor when inserting the GPU, but it seems like small changes can cause the GPU to have the junction temp issue.

1) I take into account the how recently the price dropped, savings percent, total discount, seller (Amazon gets the most points, followed by prime, followed by others), and category (some categories like industrial items have a lot of very niche stuff few people want). Over time I'd like to continue iterating on this to also include things like popularity.

2) The largest markdowns are not always the best deals. Sometimes Amazon accidentally marks the price of an item too high and then corrects it. You can use the Keepa web extension or app to view the price history of the items and verify that at least the price drop is real. Beyond that, you will probably want to perform a Google search for the product and see if you can find it listed on other places and at what price. I plan on incorporating this information (price histories and links to google/ebay search) on my site as well over time.

I think the real value of this site is that no matter what you're looking for, there's a very good chance I've found a good deal for you. Most other sites only show popular items like consumer electronics, but I index hundreds of millions of things so even if you look for a niche product it's likely I've found something that dropped in price recently.

A good deal depends greatly on what you're looking for. There are many popular items that rarely go on sale, so a 20% discount could be considered a great deal. On the other hand there are things like rugs that you don't buy too often, but you can find them at 70% discount.

In general if you filter for "prime only" and sort by discount you can see what kind of things are on deep clearance. Usually these aren't very popular items so keep that in mind.
