Pricing and Deals

Understanding community pricing and MSRP data.

BarrelChatter shows pricing information to help you understand fair market value and find good deals.

Pricing Information

Each bottle may show:

  • MSRP - Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
  • Average Purchase Price - What community members have paid
  • Price Range - Low to high reported prices

Community Pricing

When you add a bottle and enter a purchase price, it contributes to our community pricing data (anonymously). This helps everyone understand:

  • What bottles actually sell for
  • Regional price differences
  • Whether you got a deal or paid secondary prices

Deal Indicators

🟢 Good Deal - Below average price

🟔 Fair Price - Around average

šŸ”“ Above Average - Higher than typical

Privacy

  • Your specific purchases are never shared publicly
  • Only aggregate data (averages) is shown
  • You control what price info you share

  • Compare store prices to averages
  • Identify allocated bottles at MSRP
