What ElectroFinds is, and how it works
ElectroFinds tracks electronics prices across 6 retailers and publishes a page for every product it finds on sale. This page explains where the information comes from, what we do not do, and how the site is paid for.
How products get here
A price tracker reads retailer listings every day. When a product appears at a price below the figure the retailer itself publishes, it enters our queue. Nothing is selected by hand and nothing is paid for placement. There are 64 listings on the site right now, across 10 categories.
Each page is then compiled from three sources: the retailer’s own listing data, the manufacturer’s published product information as reproduced on that listing, and a generated summary of both. Where a third-party video review of the same model exists, it is linked and labelled as somebody else’s work.
What we do. Read the listing, record the price the retailer publishes against the price it is selling at, reproduce the specification table where one is published, and compare the listing against the nearest tracked alternatives in the same category.
What we do not do. We do not test products, take them apart, measure them, or use them. No page on this site describes hands-on experience, because there is none. We do not publish a review score, and we do not run our own benchmarks.
What the figures mean
Every price on the site is the figure our tracker read from the retailer’s listing, stamped with the date and time it was read. A discount percentage is always the difference between that price and the list price the same retailer publishes — never a comparison against a recommended retail price we have invented, and never a claim about the lowest price a product has ever carried.
Where a retailer publishes no separate list price, no percentage is shown. Where stock is not confirmed in the feed, the page says so rather than assuming it is available. Every section carries a line naming where its figures came from.
How the site is paid for
ElectroFinds earns a commission when a reader buys through a link on the site, including through the Amazon Associates programme. The commission is paid by the retailer and does not change the price you pay. It does not influence which products are covered, because that selection is automatic.

Corrections
Specifications change and feeds go stale. If a figure on the site is wrong, tell us and it will be corrected or the page pulled. Every page shows the date its price was last checked, so you can judge how fresh it is. Write to corrections@electrofinds.com.
