What is the significance of them being prices? What is the significance of them being "behind an API"? I can't see why either has '''any''' meaning to the task. Yeah, yeah, Stackoverflow question, yada, yada, yada. Would probably be better something like "Bin by range" or some such. Also, what difference does it make if the units are specifically pounds? (No pence!) How about if they were [https://theoffice.fandom.com/wiki/Stanley_Nickel Stanley nickels]? How would that change the problem? --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 12:32, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
