When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
ganga
La definición más segura sería ganga, cuya definición según la RAE es bien que se adquiere a un precio muy por debajo del que normalmente le corresponde (https://dle.rae.es/ganga?m=form). Sin embargo, al ser un término informal, su traducción podría variar de acuerdo a la región. Por citar algunos ejemplos, en Argentina no sería inusual que se le dijera regalo o negoción, y entiendo que en España se puede aludir a ello como chollo.
¡Mirá el precio de ese sombrero! Es una ganga.

: La ventaja de usar ganga es que puede comprenderse en Latinoamérica. O al menos eso me parece. En México usaríamos ganga, por supuesto, pero también otros términos más locales y posiblemente no claros para otros hispanohablantes.

This dress was a steal; I got it for two-thirds off!
¡Este vestido fue una ganga! Lo conseguí con un descuento de dos tercios del valor.
