How we calculate prices
atrodu.lv is an independent search site, not a shop. The typical price and the % on cards are atrodu.lv's own calculation. They are not a shop or seller discount. Electronics and cars use separate calculations. Both are described below.
What is the typical price?
It is the median (the middle price when all prices are put in order) of fresh, comparable listings of the same model, with the same storage or version where known. We count listings from SS.com, Banknote, Andelemandele, Facebook Marketplace, Vita Lombards and e-lats.lv. Fresh means we saw the listing in the last 48 hours.
What is left out?
Broken items and spare parts, bundles, clearly wrong or implausibly low prices, extreme values, and copies of identical listings from one shop (at most 3 identical ones count).
What does the % mean?
How much lower the listing price is than the typical price. For example, -20% with a typical price of €200 means a price of €160.
When is a listing marked as a deal?
When its price is at least 15% below the typical price.
Is it a shop discount?
No. It is atrodu.lv's comparison with other listings, not a seller's promise or discount claim.
Why is there sometimes no typical price?
If there are too few comparable listings (fewer than 5; fewer than 4 for laptops and vacuums), we do not show a typical price.
How often does it change?
We refresh listings all day (some every 15 minutes, some hourly or daily), e-lats.lv twice a day. The typical price is recalculated automatically whenever the listings change.
What is the typical price for a car?
It is the median asking price of similar cars whose ads are still listed. We start with the same model and generation, the same gearbox, the same fuel, and a year within one year of the car. We count listings from SS.com, Longo, Autotirgus, Moller, Autoselect, Autodiler. It is an asking price. It is not a completed sale and not a value for one car. Mileage can move the figure. The price we show is rounded to the nearest €50 under €10,000, and to the nearest €100 from €10,000. The 48-hour window on this page is for electronics. A car stays in the comparison while its ad is still listed. If fewer than 5 similar ads are listed, we widen the group and stay inside the same generation. We do not show a typical price when the group stays below 5. The year table on a model page is a simpler median. The percentage and the deal mark use this similar-car price, not that table.
What is left out of a car's typical price?
Ads with no valid Latvian inspection, a defect mark, or a price that is a monthly payment or available only with a lease. A price more than 60% below the median is left out too. The same car is counted once. If the gearbox is unknown, we do not show a typical price.
When is a car listing marked as a deal?
When its asking price is at least 15% below that car's typical price. The mark is a price comparison. It does not confirm the car's condition, mileage or history. A very high mileage can keep the mark off.
