Egypt appliance price index: dated catalog sample

Method and limits

We group existing product records by Amazon.eg ASIN, category and recorded check month. Repeated cards and Arabic/English versions count once. Within a month we use the latest unambiguous dated record, exclude explicit unavailable listings and conflicting prices, and publish a median only for at least three different ASINs. Values may be approximate catalog amounts.

Older dates reconstructed from Git history and an editable July price sheet are archived but excluded from these statistics: neither reliably proves a dated price check. Month-on-month change is unavailable without two consecutive eligible samples. Missing months are never filled with old prices.

For consecutive eligible months, change means the percentage difference between category medians. Models, sizes and specifications can change between samples, so a change does not establish that the same appliance became cheaper or dearer. The table reports how many ASINs overlap with the prior month. One retailer and editorial selection do not represent all Egyptian appliances or stores.

Use the category guides to research a purchase, then confirm the current listing. This page reports historical data and makes no claim of hands-on product testing.
