Flipkart Big Billion Days 2026 early access is live, and the sale opens to everyone at midnight tonight. On the product page, a countdown is ticking down. A green tag says 60% OFF. The price looks like a steal.
Then we opened Buyhatke.
The product is the Aroma NB138 Ascrow earbuds in Midnight Blue, with 32dB active noise cancellation and 70 hours of playback. It has a 3.8-star rating from over 96,000 ratings.
Here is what the page says:
● MRP: ₹2,999, crossed out
● Price: ₹1,186, with a 60% off tag
● "Buy at" price: ₹1,126, a "Wow Deal" price using offers
● Extra: a ₹19 Protect Promise Fee, and an exchange offer of up to ₹400
It looks like a good deal, and it is, if you compare it with ₹2,999. But ₹2,999 is a number set by the seller. It says nothing about what the earbuds have actually sold for.
What Buyhatke Chrome extension Shows:
Open the Buyhatke price history and the story changes. Here are the numbers for the last three months:
● Highest price: ₹1,186
● Average price: ₹716.72
● Lowest price: ₹572
● Big Billion Days 2025 price: ₹1,299
The graph labels today's price with a red flag: "Price at its peak!" And in the "Should you buy this now?" panel, Buyhatke's recommendation is "Wait for Savings."
● ₹1,186 is more than double the lowest price of ₹572. That's ₹614 extra.
● It's about 65% above the 3-month average of ₹716.72.
● Even the "Buy at ₹1,126" price is ₹554 above the lowest.
● Buy at the lowest price and you'd pay about 52% less than today's ₹1,186.
So the "60% off" is only real against the MRP. Against what the earbuds have actually cost, today's price is the highest of the last three months.
There's a second surprise. Last year's Big Billion Days price was ₹1,299, higher than anything in the last three months. A sale price isn't automatically the lowest price.
Check the price history before you click Buy.
Compare today's price with the lowest and the average.
Set a price drop alert. Buyhatke lets you do it right on the page, so you don't need to keep checking.

Spending ₹1,186 on earbuds isn't a big risk. But the same trick works on a ₹50,000 phone or a ₹90,000 TV, where the mistake costs a lot more and without a price history, you can't tell whether the number means anything.
Flipkart Big Billion Days can have great deals. This one just isn't clearly one of them yet. Ten seconds with Buyhatke can show you the difference.
