Your copy-and-paste prompt

Read as Markdown

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Find the best current deal on [product] with these must-haves: [model, specs, size and color]. My maximum all-in budget is [amount], target price is [amount], and I need delivery or pickup near [location] by [date]. My acceptable conditions are [new, open-box or refurbished] and my seller exclusions are [list].

Compare reputable retailers, local stores, bundles and eligible open-box offers. Confirm the exact variant and who actually sells it. For each viable offer, give a source link and date checked; item price, shipping, estimated tax or tax still unknown, required fees, and final delivered total; stock and arrival or pickup estimate; warranty, return window and any condition caveat. Treat coupons and bundle values as savings only if I can actually use them. If price history is available for the identical item, use it to put sale claims in context; otherwise do not call a sale badge proof of a deal.

If stock or pricing is unclear, and I have authorized store contact, email only the relevant store's public business address to ask that specific question. Show me whom you contacted and the exact question. A sent email is not a confirmed answer; wait for or mark the missing detail. If email access is unavailable, draft the question for me.

Rank up to three options against my must-haves, all-in budget, target price and deadline. Explain the trade-offs and mark any total or delivery date that is still an estimate. If no option qualifies, say so and suggest what constraint I could change. Show me the final known total and your preferred option for review. Do not place an order, reserve stock or enter payment details unless I later approve the exact seller, product, condition and total.
What the result could look like

Illustrative: a cheaper sticker price loses

A hypothetical local pickup may beat a lower online price after shipping and delivery timing. The shortlist shows which totals are verified and which still depend on checkout tax or store confirmation.

Illustrative example. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

Use the same comparison for an appliance with haul-away fees or a gift with a firm arrival date. Keep the purchase decision with the shopper.
