How to tell if the discount is real
We save the price every day
Each collection records the trusted-store price of each model, and the series becomes the history that serves as the benchmark.
We compare with the median, not the "was" price
The benchmark is the median of the model’s own price over the last 30 days. The "was" price the store crosses out is not used.
We only call it a drop with enough history
With 14 days or more of history and a price 5% or more below the median, the model goes into "Price really dropped".

Where the numbers come from
Lowest price seen for the product on Amazon.co.uk, delivered to London SW1A 1AA, on the day it was read, including VAT. The history keeps one price per day. The median is the model’s own over the last 30 days, and it only counts with 3 records or more. A confirmed drop needs 14 days or more of history.
The price is the one collected on the date shown and changes without notice. The series shows what the price has done so far; it doesn’t predict the Black Friday price or say it’s time to buy.
