Frequently Asked Questions

Ghost is an ammunition price intelligence platform that aggregates live prices from 213+ US retailers. We track prices on all major calibers and provide predictive BUY/HOLD/WAIT signals to help you find the best deals and know when to buy.

Yes, Ghost is completely free. Search, compare prices, set price alerts, and access BUY/HOLD/WAIT signals at no cost. We monetize through affiliate partnerships with retailers, not by charging users.

We scrape retailer prices every 2-4 hours. Each listing shows a freshness indicator so you always know when the price was last verified. Real-time accuracy depends on each retailer's stock and pricing changes.

CPR stands for Cost Per Round -- the price of a single round of ammunition. It's the standard way to compare ammo prices across different box sizes and pack quantities. For example, a 50-round box at $15 = $0.30 CPR.

Signals are based on comparing the current average CPR to the 30-day and 90-day historical averages. When prices are significantly below the historical average, we signal BUY. When prices are near average, HOLD. When prices are above average, WAIT for a better deal.

We show the base product price and CPR. Shipping costs vary by retailer, location, and order size, so we provide shipping estimates where available. Always check the retailer's site for exact delivered cost before purchasing.

Set a target CPR for any caliber, and we'll email you when prices drop to or below your threshold. You only need an email address -- no account or password required.

Restock alerts are coming soon. You'll be able to watch specific products and get notified when they come back in stock at participating retailers.

Ghost currently tracks prices across 213+ major US ammunition retailers including online-only stores and retailers with both online and physical presence. We're continuously adding more retailers to give you the most comprehensive price comparison.

No. Ghost is a price comparison and intelligence platform. When you find a deal you like, we link you directly to the retailer's website where you can complete your purchase. We never handle ammunition, payments, or shipping.

Prices are scraped directly from retailer websites and are generally accurate at the time of scraping. However, prices and stock can change between scrapes. We display a 'last updated' timestamp on every listing so you can judge freshness.

Currently, Ghost only tracks US-based retailers and pricing. All prices are in USD. We may expand to other markets in the future based on demand.
