How we'll grade an ad when it's out
- We only grade items we can match to a product with a price history: in our records, or a dated public price we can cite.
- A "was" price we can't find in the item's history gets no credit. We ignore it and grade the real price.
- Items we can't match by model number don't get a grade.
Until then, see every deal we've graded on the Black Friday page, the Black Friday vs Cyber Monday guide, and the "was" prices our records don't back up.
