Is that Black Friday deal actually a deal?
A "was £299" price is easy to make up. Snipe looks at what the same thing really goes for second-hand on eBay, Vinted, Gumtree and 20+ other UK sites, then tells you when one is listed well under that.
- 1Describe it. "AirPods Pro 3" or "Barbour Bedale, size 40".
- 2See the usual price. Pro works it out from real listings, not a shop's "was" price.
- 3Get told when it drops. Snipe alerts you when one is listed well under the usual price, then you buy it on the marketplace.
An example of how a hit looks. The struck price is the usual asking price for the same item.
