™Start with identity, then add constraints
Write down the product identity first: brand, family, model, generation and any exact identifier. Add budget, condition, location and exclusions only after that. This makes it easier to tell whether a result is the wrong product or merely outside your preferred terms.
- Use an exact model or reference where one exists.
- State the maximum delivered budget, not just item price.
- Name exclusions that frequently create false matches.
Compare like with like
A low price may describe a different generation, incomplete bundle, damaged example or auction that has not finished. Group equivalent products before ranking individual listings, then compare condition and included items inside that group.
- Separate auctions from fixed-price listings.
- Include delivery and known fees.
- Keep condition wording from the source available for review.
Use ranking as a shortlist, not a verdict
A score is most useful when its reasons are visible. Open the original listing, inspect the seller’s evidence and check return terms before acting. Scouvrit’s ranking is decision support; the source listing remains the record of the offer.
