A “$300 off” on a robot vacuum is often off a price it never held. The honest signal is the current price versus its real recorded low.
The honest signal is simple: is the current price genuinely low against the item’s own 12-month history — or just below a made-up list price? Paste any product and we’ll tell you straight: BUY, WAIT, SKIP or FAIR.
