The Defy 30 L Solo Microwave Oven (DM0390) is P1,029.95 at Trade World Gaborone.
The same DM0390 is P1,099 at Hifi Corp.
House Home and Ok Furniture both list the DM0390 at P1,199.
Furnmart lists the DM0390 at P1,699.
The gap between the cheapest and the most expensive listing of the same DM0390 is P669.05.
Why the spread matters
A P669.05 gap on a DM0390 that starts at P1,029.95 is more than sixty percent of the low price. Shoppers who buy without checking pay it twice: once in the store, once against the cheaper listing.
The honest move is to price the model, not the shop.
The honest pick
The DM0390 at P1,029.95 from Trade World Gaborone is the working number in the snapshot, with Hifi Corp at P1,099 close behind. Furnmart's P1,699 for the same DM0390 is the top of the ladder, and the P669.05 gap is the whole story.

The P1,029.95 listing at Trade World Gaborone is the working number, with Hifi Corp at P1,099 close behind. The same microwave at P1,699 at Furnmart is the cautionary side of the spread.
