#Compare purchase options

Find offers for the same product, compatible alternatives, or models with specification upgrades and downgrades.

##How it helps

Compare places to buy a product you have chosen, or explore alternative models. Tell your agent whether you want the same item, another model that meets your needs, or an option with different specifications.

##Ask your agent

Once gaisho is connected, ask in your own words. For example:

Ask your agent

```
Where else can I buy the same headphones? Compare the available sellers and prices.
```

Ask your agent

```
Find a cheaper alternative to this model, but don’t reduce battery life.
```

Ask your agent

```
What could I get for under $300 if I’m willing to accept a smaller capacity?
```

##What you’ll get

Expect purchase options with prices, sellers, links and important differences. Your agent can explain which are the same product and which are alternatives, and identify requirements that still need checking.

Compare the version and pack quantity as well as the price. An applicable coupon may already be included in the quoted amount, while tax and shipping are excluded; the coupon’s conditions still matter.

The comparison describes the options found for your request, rather than guaranteeing the lowest price at every store. Any unverified page suggestions need checking before they can be treated as purchase offers.
