OfferSummary Response Group

The OfferSummary response group returns, for each item in the response, the number of offer listings and the lowest price for each condition type. Condition types are New, Used, Collectible, and Refurbished. So, for example, this response group returns the lowest price for each Condition:

New item
Used item
Collectible item
Refurbished item

Individual offer listings are not returned. The OfferSummary is dependent only on the ASIN parameter and is not affected by the MerchantId or Condition parameters (i.e. the OfferSummary will always be the same for a given ASIN independent of other parameters).
