If you go to Microwaves - Lowest Prices at Qpricing! the top item Sharp Microwave price range is $136 - $221

When you click "Compare Prices" on tat product or the link which is Sharp R520LKT 2.0 Cu.Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - Black - With 1,200 Cooking Watts - Smart & Easy Sensor Settings - Keep Warm Feature and Optional Built-in Trim Kit the lowest price for that product is $149 instead of $136

I am afraid I am gonna loose customers. I have searched to try and figure out how to fix this, but I haven't been successful.

I thought about getting rid of pricing on the first page, do you think that would be confusing? I would prefer to fix the problem. If someone could figure this out or have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    Without knowing how and where those price feeds are coming in, it's difficult for me to say anything helpful

      Do you think deleting the prices on the first page would be ok? Just have product title, Description, image and Compare Prices link?

      I would rather have the prices too, but if its not working right. It will loose customers. Give me your input.

        Definitely leave the price on the first page, even if it isn't truly accurate. I did follow what you said, and it is quite strange to how it comes up with that figure. Like someone else mentioned, where is that figure pulled from? Cause it sure isn't the 3 stores from inside the link. Could it be that its factoring in a rebate or something that the further link doesn't?

        I'd call it a minor issue if anything. It looks like that only affects a small number of products, and though I would be disappointed to see a $10 price difference, it wouldn't bother me as bad to have to load another page up to see the prices.

        Like I mentioned earlier, if you can find where it pulls those numbers from, I sure you could find the culprit.

          Thanks for our response. Do you think I shuld mention on the 2nd page that the prices sometimes are not accurate. Or mention it in a way that make sense? I been trying to find this problem for months and cant figure it out.

            I don't think many people will notice. I might just throw a small line in my ToS page mentioning that its not always accurate and this is based on blah blah blah.

            As I mentioned earlier, its a small problem, if at all.

            I tried snooping around the page using Firebug and I couldn't come up with much. May I ask if your website uses a CMS system or if it is totally customly done? Or is there an engine or system or something it uses to pull all that information? Obviously because it does it for every product is your catalog, I imagine it part of a "core functionality".
