Used and new are not the same price
The cheaper one had a life before you. A used, refurbished, or open-box listing can wear the same photo and a lower price. Compare new with new before you call that a save. A maybe-used mark comes from words on the listing. It is a hint, not a promise.
The row that feels like a win
Same photo. Familiar name. Thirty dollars less. You are halfway to checkout before the title's last words register: renewed, open-box, pre-owned. The number was real. The purchase was not the one you had in mind.
FairRobin can put a maybe-used mark on that row from words like those. The small model on this computer only reads the title and the price. It does not decide used versus new, and that reading stays here. Safe, Caution, and Risky are rules. Safe is not a promise.
Then you choose
If you wanted used, the lower price may be the point. If you wanted new, the higher exact match is the item you actually meant. The mark is there so the choice is yours before you switch stores.
