Lessons from
the Deal Graveyard
Why we publish every deal we've ever surfaced — and how to use that archive to time your next purchase.
The Deal Graveyard is the public archive of every Amazon UK price drop Glitchdeals has surfaced and that has since expired or sold out.
Most deal sites delete expired listings, which makes their past claims impossible to verify. We keep ours so anyone can check the price record after the fact.
It's a reference for typical low prices on a product, useful for deciding when a future drop is worth acting on and when it's better to wait.
Why most deal sites hide expired deals
Most coupon and deal sites delete expired listings as soon as they end. It tidies the homepage, but it also removes the only evidence that the discount existed in the first place — and at what price. There's no way to go back and check whether a "save 60%" claim was real, or whether the item was on sale for two minutes or two days.
That's the gap the Deal Graveyard exists to close.
What the Graveyard actually contains
When a deal expires — because the seller raised the price, the stock ran out, or the community marked it dead — it moves from the Live Feed to the Graveyard with the original price, the date it was first surfaced, and the price record we used to verify it.
Nothing is rewritten. The point is that a claim made on the Live Feed today is checkable next month.
Three useful ways to read the Graveyard
The archive is more than a credibility receipt — it's a planning tool. A few ways shoppers use it:
- Set a sensible target price. If a product you want has dropped to £180 twice in the last 90 days, that's the level worth waiting for. The Graveyard tells you what's realistic, not what's marketing.
- See how long similar deals last. Some categories sell out in minutes; others stay live for days. Knowing which is which changes how quickly you need to act when one appears on the Live Feed.
- Spot recurring patterns. Many products drop on a predictable cadence (end of month, school holidays, post-Prime Day). Past entries make those patterns visible.
How a deal moves from live to expired
A live deal expires for one of three reasons:
- The seller raises the price back above our threshold against its 90-day history.
- The listing goes out of stock.
- Enough community votes mark the deal as no longer available.
In all three cases the entry is preserved with its full record. The exact rules are in the methodology page.
