π‘ Understanding MyDealz Pricing: Real Savings, Real Transparency
Confused by e-commerce pricing tricks? Tired of fake "70% off" deals that aren't really discounts? At MyDealz, we believe in radical pricing transparency. Here's exactly how we price products, calculate savings, and ensure you're getting genuine value.
π― The Truth About E-Commerce Pricing
Before we explain our approach, let's expose common pricing manipulation tactics you should know about:
β Common Pricing Tricks (That We Don't Use)
- Inflated "Original" Prices: Retailers set artificially high "was" prices that products never sold for
- Fake Urgency: "Only 2 left!" when there's plenty of stock
- Phantom Discounts: Products "on sale" 365 days a year at the same price
- Hidden Fees: Low advertised price + surprise shipping/handling charges
- Bait Pricing: Advertise one price, then show higher price at checkout
β How MyDealz Pricing Actually Works
Our pricing philosophy is simple: transparency, verification, and genuine value. Here's our process:
Step 1: Market Research
For every product, we research pricing across 5-10 major retailers:
- Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy (USA)
- Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP)
- Specialty retailers in relevant categories
- 90-day price history to identify true market value
Step 2: Verified Retail Price Calculation
We calculate the Verified Retail Price (VRP) using:
- Current average price across 5-10 retailers
- 90-day historical average to avoid temporary spikes
- Seasonal adjustments for fair comparison
- MSRP verification if brand-new product
Example:
Product: Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Amazon: $149.99 | Best Buy: $159.99 | Target: $154.99
Walmart: $152.99 | Manufacturer MSRP: $159.99
Verified Retail Price: $153.99 (verified average)
Step 3: Supplier Negotiation
We work directly with suppliers to negotiate genuine discounts:
- Direct partnerships eliminate middleman markups
- Volume commitments secure better pricing
- Long-term relationships = consistent savings
- No markup gimmicks - pass savings to you
Step 4: Our Price Point
MyDealz Price = Supplier Cost + Minimal Margin
- Typical margin: 10-15% (vs. retail 40-60%)
- Lower overhead = lower prices for you
- No fake discounts needed - real savings speak for themselves
Continuing Example:
Verified Retail Price: $153.99
Supplier Cost: $95.00
Our Margin: $14.99 (15.8%)
MyDealz Price: $109.99
Real Savings: $44.00 (28.6% off verified retail)

β Pricing FAQs
Q: How do you verify "original" prices aren't inflated?
A: We research 5-10 retailers and use 90-day averages. No single fake "was" price - we use verified market data.
Q: What if I find a lower price elsewhere after purchase?
A: Contact us within 7 days with proof. We'll review and may offer price adjustment depending on circumstances.
Q: Do your prices include shipping?
A: Advertised price is product cost only. Shipping calculated at checkout based on location and method chosen.
Q: Why don't you offer 70% off deals like some sites?
A: Because 70% off is usually 70% off a fake inflated price. We prefer 25% off real prices - that's actual savings.
Q: How often do prices change?
A: We monitor daily. Prices adjust if supplier costs or market conditions change significantly.
Q: Can I price match?
A: We already research competitors before pricing. If you find lower, let us know - we'll investigate and adjust if verified.
