Shopping price comparison using Bright Data's web scraping infrastructure. Finds where a product is sold, for how much, and whether it's in stock — across Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Best Buy, Google Shopping, and any retailer URL — then ranks the offers into a single buy-recommendation table. Use this skill when the user wants to compare prices, find the cheapest place to buy something, do a price check, see "how much does X cost on Amazon vs Walmart", track an item's price, or decide where to buy a product. Handles product names, ASINs, and direct URLs, and is region-aware (country affects price, availability, and which retailers apply). This is consumer purchase-decision research — for analyzing a competitor's pricing *strategy*, use competitive-intel instead.

From the source SKILL.md

Find the best place to actually buy a product — lowest price, in stock, from a reputable seller — using live retailer data, not stale training knowledge. Combines the Bright Data CLI (bdata) for collection with a normalization + ranking layer to deliver a single cited comparison table and a clear buy recommendation.
