Buy or Wait is designed to answer one practical question: is today's price good enough to buy, or is waiting more likely to pay off?
Prices are collected from Australian retailer product pages and stored as dated snapshots. A single price is not treated as a trend. Recommendations become stronger as more snapshots and more verified retailers are available.
The decision engine compares the current price with the recorded low, average and high, recent price direction, how long the current price has held, retailer agreement and the maturity of the available history.
The Buy Score describes the apparent value of the current price. Confidence describes how much evidence supports that score. Limited history, stale checks or low retailer coverage can cap the recommendation even when the raw price looks attractive.
The 7, 30 and 90-day cheaper-price probabilities are estimates derived from recorded price behaviour. They are not guarantees and cannot predict retailer promotions, stock shortages, pricing errors or future product releases.
Retailer prices are refreshed on a scheduled basis. Each offer shows when it was last verified. If a retailer page cannot be rechecked, the price may remain visible with a stale or last-verified warning rather than being presented as live.
Some retailer links may be affiliate links. Buy or Wait may receive a commission when a purchase is made through one of those links, at no additional cost to the shopper. Affiliate relationships do not change the price history, Buy Score or recommendation logic.
Prices can change after a check, availability may vary, shipping can affect the final cost and forecasts can be wrong. Always confirm the final price, stock and terms on the retailer's website before purchasing.
