Behind the Scenes

Ever wondered how BrickSeek finds all those crazy good deals?

Here’s the short version: We don’t wait for retailers to tell us what’s on sale. We don’t scrape deal blogs. We don’t take shortcuts.

Instead, we track millions of products directly. Constantly. We check for price drops and inventory changes across all our supported retailers 24/7.

But it’s not just about catching price changes.

We also use years of pricing history to detect fake discounts (like when sellers quietly raise a price, only to “slash” it a few days later and call it a deal 😒 ). That’s NOT a deal. That’s a marketing trick. And our system spots those fake deals from a mile away and weeds them out for you. That’s how our members find deals first.


Here’s what makes BrickSeek different:

We find deals first. No waiting for someone else to post it (especially when they probably used BrickSeek to find it in the first place!)
No sponsored content. No bias. No fluff. Just real, actual deals.
No middlemen. It’s just you and the data.
Even the “unadvertised” deals. If it’s out there, we’ll find it… even if retailers would prefer we didn’t.



This all happens behind the scenes, 24/7, powered by the system we built ourselves. So if you’ve ever wondered why our Deal Alerts feel freakishly accurate, now you know!

Want in on this kind of early deal access?

The fastest way is to upgrade to BrickSeek One and get those Deal Alerts set up! That’s how you get the deals before they go viral and disappear!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
