The source case
Assistant Benchmark republishes eleven Instinct prompts posted on X by @gabenavarro. Number eight is price hunting: find an exact product at the cheapest delivered price, take it to the checkout screen so the real total is visible, and text for confirmation. The list gives prompts, not results: no product, retailer or total is shown, and nothing here has been run by this directory.

How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Name the product exactly: model number, capacity, colour and variant. A product name without the model number is the main reason two quotes turn out not to be comparable.
- Give the delivery postcode and the date you need it by, since the cheapest total and the cheapest that arrives in time are often different retailers.
- Ask for the delivered total broken out: item, shipping, tax where it is added at checkout, and any fee that only appears on the final screen.
- Open the checkout yourself and confirm the total, the seller and the stock position before paying.
Pin the product before pricing it
Most bad comparisons are not pricing errors, they are identity errors. Give the model number, capacity, colour and region variant, and say whether an open-box or refurbished unit is acceptable at all. Retailers list the same family under names that differ by a word, and a bundle that includes an accessory will undercut or overshoot a bare unit for reasons that have nothing to do with the deal. Where the item has generations that look alike, note the year or revision. Once the product is pinned, a price table means something; before that, it is a list of nearby objects sorted by number.
Compare the total, not the listing
The delivered price is the item plus shipping, plus any tax or fee that appears only at checkout, for a specific postcode and a specific date. Keep each part in its own column and record when the reading was taken, because retail prices move and a table with no timestamp cannot be audited an hour later. Identify the seller on every row: a marketplace listing under a well-known retailer's roof carries that seller's returns, warranty handling and dispatch times, which is a material difference the price does not express. Where a discount depends on a code, a card or a membership, say so on the row rather than folding it silently into the total.
Stop at the checkout screen
The prompt this page comes from ends deliberately: take it to the checkout so the real total is visible, then ask. That is the right place to stop. The checkout is where the last surprises live, including a shipping estimate that changes with the postcode, a fee for the payment method, and a stock position that turns out to be backorder. Read the seller, the arrival date and the return window there, then decide. An assistant that buys on your behalf saves a minute and takes on the part of the job where a mistake costs the price of the item.
Open Instinct to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
- A listing price is not a delivered total. Shipping, surcharges, tax added at checkout and card fees routinely change the ranking.
- Marketplace listings may be third-party sellers with different returns, warranty and delivery, which a price comparison alone will not show.
- Stock and price change while the comparison is being made. Anything quoted is a reading at a moment, not an offer.
- This is a suggested prompt. It does not establish that a lower price exists or that any retailer will honour one.

Editorial, not from the source
- The cheapest option is a variant
- Match the model number exactly; a different capacity, region or bundle is not a cheaper version of the same item.
- The total changes at checkout
- Re-read the delivered total on the checkout screen and treat the earlier figure as stale rather than as the price.
- A retailer shows in stock but will not ship in time
- Rank by delivery date as well as price, and keep the arrival estimate in its own column.
Common questions
Why insist on the model number?
Because variants, bundles and generations are listed under similar names. Without the exact model, a comparison silently ranks different products and the cheapest row is usually the one that is not what you wanted.
What belongs in a delivered total?
Item price, shipping to your postcode, tax if it is added at checkout, and any payment or handling fee. Anything conditional on a code or membership should be shown separately, not folded in.
Does a marketplace listing count as the same retailer?
No. Returns, warranty handling and dispatch are the third-party seller's. Label those rows so a lower total is read alongside what it gives up.
Can it complete the purchase?
Not as written here. It prepares the comparison and can open the checkout; entering payment and confirming the order stays with you, which is where an error would cost the price of the item.
How long is a quoted price good for?
Only as long as the reading. Prices and stock change continuously, which is why each row carries the time it was read and the checkout total is confirmed again before paying.
