24 models with a score, from highest score to lowest. The cap applies to today’s price: a model that goes over £500 drops off the list, and one that falls under it comes in. The final price is the one at the store. Basis: the catalog’s price history.
Black Friday is on 27 Nov 2026. 24 models up to £500.
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".

How does the Radar know the price 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.
