A few times a day Warehouse Deals lists Vita’s for sale with free shipping at anywhere from 20-35% off the retail prices. These are items that may have a dented box or other reason they cannot be sold as new. Everything I’ve ever bought from Warehouse Deals has been in excellent condition (minus some dented packaging like I mentioned before), and all of their items have a 30-day return policy.
*Firefox users, this extension may come in handy for alerting you when the Vita’s are listed.

A small change in my posting to be aware of. Ever since I started posting deals, there have been plenty of offers for $10/$20 credits for buying a game on Day 1 to use towards a future purchase. And at the time I posted them because they were good deals. However, over the past year or so, prices on new release games have taken a different path. These days it seems $60 new release games drop to $40 or lower very shortly after launch. Last year it happened very quickly with Deus Ex, and this year it’s happened with SSX, dropping to half-price, and now Mass Effect 3, which came out just over a month ago and is at $40 already, among others. So in the future, I may not post many $10 credit offers because the trend seems to be the price will drop more than that $10 shortly after launch. The exception would be some Nintendo games, as they tend to hold their value, but even those have exceptions as well, like Kid Icarus for the 3DS. As always, any thoughts or comments? Let me know!
