How to find the best deals on Amazon Resale

ChatGPT

This week, I saved $300 on a monitor. How? I bought a used one in very good condition instead of a new one.

If you shop on Amazon, there’s a secret section you need to know about: Amazon Resale (formerly Amazon Warehouse). Think of it as Amazon’s clearance rack, but better. It’s where returned, overstocked or slightly used products go to get deeply discounted.

Don’t worry, these aren’t haunted typewriters or coffee makers that brew regret. They’re inspected by Amazon and labeled with conditions. Yes, most of the time you still get Prime shipping and easy returns.

Know the labels

On the product pages, you’ll see these various conditions.

Used – Like New: Nearly perfect. Packaging may be damaged or missing, but the item works like it just came off the shelf.
Used – Very Good: Item has minor cosmetic blemishes but is fully functional. It might be missing small parts like a manual or original packaging.
Used – Good: Noticeable signs of use, scratches or wear, but the product works properly.
Used – Acceptable: It’s functional but well-worn. Great if you care more about performance than looks.
Used – As Is: Still works, but might be missing some key parts. Check the pics to see the condition before you decide to buy.

Ready to dive in?

🛒 Visit Amazon Resale to start browsing. You’ll find everything from laptops and headphones to kitchen appliances and smart home gear. Use the filters on the left-hand side to narrow by category and condition.

Pro tip: If you’re already searching for something on Amazon, scroll down on the product page to see if a Resale version is available. It’s usually listed under “Other Sellers” or marked as a used option at a lower price.

Bookmark the Resale home page and check back often. Inventory changes constantly, depending on what’s returned and inspected. If you spot a great deal, don’t wait. These items go fast.
