At Price History Pro, we prioritize the Lowest Cost of Ownership for our users. This principle guides our selection process, typically favoring sellers who offer the lowest combination of “Price + Shipping Charges” when free shipping isn’t available, even with memberships like Amazon Prime or Flipkart Plus.
Important Notice Regarding Pricing Data
The pricing data we provide is not infallible. It’s important for users to understand that our data is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate, complete, or devoid of material errors. Our sources include user submissions, third-party data vendors, and various marketplaces. We urge our users to proceed with caution when using our data.
Definitions and Calculations
- Price: Represents the current listed price from the seller offering the lowest total cost (price plus shipping). Note that this price excludes temporary Lightning Deals and serves as the basis for our historical price charts and average price calculations.
- Offer Price: The listed price after deducting applicable Lightning Deal offers and coupons. This price is featured only when it is less than the discounted price after applying deals and coupons.
- MRP & Discount: The Maximum Retail Price (MRP) displayed is as quoted by the seller on the product page. We typically use the first seller’s MRP as the base for all offers. Given that the same product may have varying MRPs, users should verify the MRP quoted by individual sellers. Discounts (amount and percentage) are derived from the chosen MRP and may not be accurate if the MRP from different sellers varies.
- Lowest Price: This figure represents the lowest recorded listing price for a product, determined using the “Lowest Cost of Ownership” method.
- Highest Price: Conversely, this is the highest recorded listing price for a product, also determined by the “Lowest Cost of Ownership” method.
- Average Price: Calculated as the average listing price over time, based on the “Lowest Cost of Ownership” method. It’s calculated by dividing the sum of the lowest price of the day by the number of days the price was recorded.
Additional Information on Buying Options
The prices displayed across various buying options are accurate as of the date mentioned on the Current Price Details Page. However, availability may vary by user and location.
Coupon Discounts
Coupon discounts are calculated per product. If there is a minimum quantity requirement for a deal, the final and offer prices apply to the first item only. We aim to provide accurate coupon details, but cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.
Conclusion
Price History Pro strives to offer reliable and comprehensive pricing information. However, given the dynamic nature of online marketplaces and the reliance on multiple data sources, discrepancies can occur. We encourage our users to use our data as a guide and perform their own due diligence when making purchasing decisions.
