Cite the Fake Deal Index
Each week we scan thousands of advertised Amazon “deals” and publish the share that aren’t genuinely below their usual price — from our price research. It’s free to cite and embed.
Weekly reports
Every week has its own permanent, dated report with the sample size, category breakdown, named examples (each linking to its price-history receipt), and a CSV of the underlying data. Browse them all at worthitforyou.com/fake-busted.
Seasonal reports
We also publish themed reports scoped to a shopping season — same method, focused categories. Current: The Back-to-School Fake Deal Report (Computers, Office, Electronics, and Toys & Games), with its own category breakdown, named examples, and CSV.
Methodology (short version)
- Sample: thousands of advertised Amazon deals each week, stratified across product categories.
- “Busted” = today’s price sits within 0.88–1.12× the item’s usual (90-day) price — not meaningfully below it.
- Source: real Keepa price research; the figure can’t be bought. Full detail on the methodology page.
