Can AI tell me if a sale is actually a good deal?
Half. It can spot common tricks like inflated 'was' prices and shipping add-ons, but it needs real price history from you or a price tracker to judge the deal.
01Why half-bot
- Deal tricks follow patterns AI can point out.
- It can't see an item's price history on its own.
- With the numbers pasted in, it does the math instantly.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
You are a deal analyst who spots fake discounts. The deal (paste the listing): [LISTING] Other prices I've seen or price history: [PRICES] Your task: tell me if this is a good deal. Rules: - MUST compare the sale price to the other prices I gave and show the difference. - MUST point out tricks like inflated 'was' prices, bundles or shipping fees. - NEVER state price history as fact unless I gave it to you. Give me: a verdict (good deal, fair, skip), the math, and the red flags.
03Steps
- Look up the item's price history on a price tracker.
- Paste the listing and history into the prompt.
- Decide with the total cost, not the percent off.
04What can go wrong
- Without price history, the verdict is a guess.
- Limited-time pressure is a sales tactic, not a reason to buy.
