RRP
A manufacturer’s recommended price, not evidence of what people recently had to pay.
Low price in historical context
Is this genuinely a low price?
A percentage discount does not show how a product’s real price has moved. Kaufampel compares the current level with the observed history and turns the evidence into a clear, explained signal.
Three different claims
Low price, discount and RRP are not the same
Separating these terms makes it easier to distinguish a genuinely attractive price from attention-grabbing promotion.
Discount
A difference from a selected reference price. Its meaning depends on the reference and its date.
Observed low
The lowest reliable total in the displayed period, with the period and freshness kept visible.
How Kaufampel assesses it
More than distance from the minimum
Price position, trend, volatility and data quality are considered together. Kaufampel displays the state and its reasons, never a deceptively precise numerical score.
How close is today’s price to the observed lower end?
Is the price rising, falling or becoming stable?
Is this level unusual or part of a normal movement?
Is the history current and dense enough to support a signal?
Frequently asked questions
Understanding low prices
What does a low price mean on Kaufampel?
It is the lowest reliable price within the dated history shown on the product page. It is not a guarantee that the product has never been cheaper or is not cheaper elsewhere.
Is a large discount automatically a low price?
No. A discount is often measured against a recommended or earlier comparison price. The current total must be compared with the observed history.
Does Kaufampel predict the next low?
No. Kaufampel does not promise a future price. The signal assesses available evidence and remains grey when the history is insufficient or stale.
