General

What is Bountii?

Bountii is a price search engine for electronics and appliances that finds lower prices than any other price comparison service.

How can I find the product I'm interested in buying?

Simply type one or more terms that describe the product you're looking for into the search box and hit the "Enter" key or click the "Search" button.

You can also include a product's model number ("MA627LL/B" for an "Apple 16GB iPod Touch") or the name of a store ("Amazon", "Costco", etc) in your search.

Model number searches are particularly effective if you're searching for a specific product.

Can I exclude certain products from my search results?

Yes, you can use a negative term when your search phrase encompasses products other than ones you're interested in.

For instance, the search phrase Epson R1900 can produce a result set that includes both printers and ink cartridges. To focus your search on printers, simply place a minus sign ("-") in front of "cartridge" and include it in your search phrase (i.e. Epson R1900 -cartridge).

Also, say you're interested in the Canon Powershot SD1100 Digital Camera, but don't want the silver model. In your search phrase, include "silver" as a negative term (i.e. Canon Powershot SD1100 -silver).

How can I search prices on two different products at once?

Separate terms by a vertical slash ("|").

So if you wanted to look at prices on two specific 46" HDTVs from Samsung and Panasonic, you might search: LN46A650|TH46PZ85U.

More generally, you can combine the results of two search phrases like Garmin Nuvi 360 and Garmin Nuvi 660, by searching Garmin Nuvi 360|660.

Do I purchase products directly from Bountii?

No, our service lets you see which store has the best price on the product you're interested in. To purchase a product you see on Bountii, simply click the "Go to Store" button on any of our product pages and you'll be taken to a store's website where you can checkout.

Price Hunting

What is a Price Hunt?

For many of the products you see on Bountii, we don't think even the most experienced bargain hunter can find a lower price than the best one we show. A Price Hunt is your opportunity to prove us wrong. Be the first to tell us a lower price than can be found on Bountii for a particular product and we'll pay you.

How do I participate?

When a product is included in one of our ongoing Price Hunts you'll see a short form on the product page where you can tell us how to get a lower price.

What happens when I tell Bountii about a lower price?

After we verify that your price meets our requirements, we email you to let you know if you were the first to submit a valid deal.

What requirements must my price meet to earn the Bountii?

It needs to be lower than the best price that Bountii displays for the same product, including tax and shipping to most states.
Price must not include savings that are a result of using a certain payment method (e.g. PayPal, Google Checkout, Sears Card).
It must be for the purchase of a brand new product (i.e. not "refurbished", "factory-renewed", "open-box", etc).
Price should be available to anyone. Prices that are exclusively for members of a club or require a one-time use coupon are not valid.
The entire checkout process must be handled online and not take advantage of any bugs in the store's website.
If your price includes rebates or other forms of cashback savings, they must be offered by the store or manufacturer.
The store must be accepting orders for the product at your specified price.
In-store pickup should not be required to get your price.

The price needs to be offered by a reputable online store:

- Any store you see on Bountii qualifies.
- If you submit a price from a store not on Bountii, we will evaluate the store based on name recognition, online reviews, Better Business Bureau rating, company size, and date established.
- Stores that sell their products on other storefronts like Amazon and Buy.com do not qualify.
- Additionally, stores not found on Bountii must be authorized by the manufacturer to sell the product.
