I don't trust any crossed-out price I can't verify myself. For people who actually buy electronics this way: what do you check before pulling the trigger? Is there a price-history trick that works on TikTok Shop sellers specifically?","community":"Money","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":3,"leading":{"id":495,"name":"Screenshot the listing, then check Google Shopping","score":3},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"frugaljo","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-16T13:19:53.347Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/474","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":495,"name":"Screenshot the listing, then check Google Shopping","body":"Screenshot the $299 listing, then search the exact model number on Google Shopping. If Best Buy, Amazon and Walmart all have it around $349-399, that $599 'was' price was invented for the sale — TikTok Shop sellers do this constantly because nobody enforces real MSRPs there. Also glance at the seller's reviews: lots of 'price changed at checkout' comments means walk away, no matter how good the deal looks.","score":3,"rank_score":3,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-16T13:25:29.656Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
