The online retailer sells a huge range of items at lower prices SHOP TO IT Three 'hidden' Amazon stores with huge reduced prices and up to 70% off A 'HIDDEN' set of Amazon stores is offering shoppers mega bargains – with some items up to 70% off. From returned tech to overstocked homeware, the online giant has secret sections many people don't know about – and it could save you serious cash. Advertisement 1 Amazon Resale gives shoppers the chance to browse returned goods Credit: Getty Here's everything you need to know about Amazon Resale, Renewed, and the Outlet. Amazon Resale Amazon Resale, previously Amazon Warehouse, is where the online retail giant sells items that have been returned but either in great condition or only slightly damaged. The goods are sold at discounted prices, allowing shoppers to pick up items at a fraction of the price. The deals available can be found on a dedicated homepage through the main Amazon site. Advertisement Goods range from electronics and appliances to books and toys – and because they've already been opened or used briefly, prices are slashed. The items are sorted into four conditions: Like new – perfect working condition, packaging may be damaged Very good – minor signs of use, may be missing non-essential accessories Good – visible signs of wear, may be missing useful extras Acceptable – heavy signs of use, may need replacement parts For example, this week you can find a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 in 'like new' condition for £55, 60% off the original £139. Or a Fitbit Versa 4, also 'like new' which has now been slashed to £71, which is again 60% off the standard £179 price. Advertisement Whilst a LEGO Minecraft toy has been reduced by 35% to £15 from £23. Inside secret outlet shop deals All orders are fulfilled by Amazon and eligible for Prime delivery. Amazon's normal return policy applies, but you might not be offered like-for-like replacements. Martin Lewis' MoneySavingExpert has developed the Amazon Resale Discount Finder, which orders items in categories by the biggest discount. Amazon Renewed Amazon Renewed features second-hand and refurbished gadgets – such as phones, laptops and consoles – all tested and guaranteed to work. Advertisement Everything comes with a one-year warranty, in addition to your standard consumer rights. Renewed is best for buying slightly older tech at a discount – especially from big brands like Apple, Samsung and Dell. Some of this week's finds include an Xbox Series S being sold for £230, a brand new version costs £292. Apple AirPods 2 for only £66, whilst a new one goes for £140. Advertisement And Garmin Instict 2S Solar watches for £170, which is a £50 reduction from the usual brand new price of £220. Amazon Outlet Lastly, Amazon Outlet is where the site sells overstocked or out-of-season new goods at reduced prices. An example this week includes the Playmonil beach patrol toy which can be picked up for £3.50, having previously been sold for £8. Items include leftover seasonal stock, clothing, toys and kitchenware. The page is updated regularly and often includes lesser-known brands. Advertisement It is also important to remember to compare prices elsewhere as not all Outlet deals are the cheapest. Extra tip: Track real prices. Amazon deals often show discounts based on RRP, which may not reflect the usual selling price. Use price tracker CamelCamelCamel to see if the offer is genuine. Advertisement For example, a BaByliss Shimmer Hair Dryer listed at 32% off (£34) had dropped to £24 earlier this year. Delivery tip: Avoid charges under £35. Amazon charges for delivery on orders under £35 unless you're a Prime member. If your basket is just short, use the Super Saver Delivery Tool to find a cheap filler item that takes you over the threshold. Advertisement So whether you're after a gadget, toy or kitchen must-have, it's worth checking these lesser-known parts of Amazon for hidden deals – while stocks last.
