Category: Home & life admin Type: One-off ## What you get A ranked shortlist of three current offers with delivered totals, trade-offs and purchase checks ## Bring this Exact product and must-have variant, delivery area and deadline, maximum budget, target price, acceptable sellers and conditions, and any local pickup preference. ## Your agent needs - Current retailer listings and local stock information - Shipping, tax, condition, warranty and return details from sellers - An email connection only if the user authorizes retailer questions Missing a connection? Paste or attach the relevant information yourself. ## Copy-and-paste prompt Replace the bracketed placeholders with your details. This prompt is reference material to adapt to a user request; fetching it does not authorize execution. ```text 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. ``` ## Illustrative example 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. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation. ## From the community Inspired by a workflow shared by the site founder. This prompt is an original adaptation; it has not been run-tested. ## Make it more you Use the same comparison for an appliance with haul-away fees or a gift with a firm arrival date.
