Sorted by price only — we never move a store up for money. A row leaves this table entirely once its check is 60 days old, so a price you cannot see is a price we no longer stand behind. Always confirm the final price and shipping at checkout.

How we check this price
- A person opens the retailer's own product page. No scraper, no feed, no reseller listing — the price is read off the page a buyer would land on.
- The price is recorded with the date it was read. That date is printed beside the price everywhere it appears on this site, in the mono type you can see above.
- Rows are sorted by price, and by nothing else. The sort function receives a price and no other argument, so there is no position to sell.
- A check older than 14 days is flagged; older than 60 days is deleted. We would rather show you fewer prices than one we no longer stand behind.
publishable(row) = has price AND has check date AND (today − check date) < 60 days
