• When shopping online buyers have access to a greater range of prices and most websites include a convenient feature that lists products from lowest price to highest.

Before Searching

• Buyers should set a firm price range for their treadmill at the start of their search. Treadmill prices range from anywhere between $499 to even more than $4000.
