Check if a sale price is a real deal

The price history and other stores' prices, and whether the discount is real.

  • You start it: When you start it

What it does

The task

Open product url and read the sale price and the 'was' price. Find the price history for the last 6 months on a price tracker site, and today's price at 5 other stores on Google Shopping. Say if the sale price is the lowest in 6 months, and if the 'was' price was a real price for at least 30 days. Tell me to buy now or to wait, with the reason in two sentences.

  • It works in Amazon, Google Shopping and any website, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.

What you get back

An example run with the example values above. Your run uses your own data.

Aurex S7 robot vacuum: sale 349 EUR, 'was' 549 EUR (36% off)

Price history, 6 months: mostly 389 to 449 EUR. The lowest was 339 EUR on 8 Jul.

'Was' 549 EUR: shown for 4 days in October only, so the 36% is not real. The real saving is about 40 EUR (10%).

Other stores today: Kestrel Electronics 359 EUR, Brightline Home 369 EUR, 3 more from 379 to 399 EUR

Advice: buy now if you need it this month. The price is 10 EUR above the 6-month low, and it often drops in late November.
