Fashnal Price Check: are online discounts real?
Fashnal checks the price of every product it lists with the store itself and keeps every price it sees. Since 2026-09-14 it has recorded 17,312 prices for 4,601 products. This page shows what that history says, and is updated every day.
Was the "was" price ever real?
10%
Of 118 products on sale for which Fashnal has at least 14 days of its own price history, only 12 (10%) were ever seen by Fashnal at the "was" price the store shows.
And 9 of the 118 were cheaper at some point than their "sale" price today.
| Store | On sale | "Was" price seen | % |
|---|---|---|---|
| eBay | 116 | 11 | 9% |
| Walmart | 2 | 1 | 50% |
A "was" price not seen by Fashnal may have been real before Fashnal started watching that product, or for a few hours between two checks. Only products with at least 14 days of history and a "was" price at least 15% over today's price are counted. "Seen" means a price within 2% of the "was" price.
How often prices move
Of 371 products with at least 14 days of price history, 24% changed price at least once. Today 53 of them are at the lowest price Fashnal has seen, and 26 at the highest.
How these figures are made
Fashnal asks each store for the price of each listing it shows, every day or two for most products, and stores the price it is given with the date. A "was" price is the earlier price the store itself shows next to today's price. Only products still on sale today count. The figures are worked out again from the full history every few hours.
What this means when you shop
A big discount next to a "was" price says little on its own. Look at what the product actually cost in the last weeks (the price chart on each Fashnal product page) and at what other stores ask for the same product.
