Data this note rests on: One page carrying the whole pool: 195 entries, 8 categories, 20 brands, $5.17 to $451.10 with a $31.76 median, 2,806 images, 158 entries above the index threshold and 37 below it.

The one-page conclusion

The ledger compresses into a single line. It holds 195 entries extracted on 2026-09-29, drawn from 8 categories and 20 brands on one source marketplace, priced from $5.17 to $451.10 with a median of $31.76, carrying 2,806 images between them, of which 158 entries clear the five-image index threshold and 37 do not. Every other page on this site is an expansion of that line. This page states it once and attaches the three qualifications that keep it readable.

The first qualification is that this is one extraction, not a series. No second snapshot of the same fields exists, so no figure here describes a change over time, and none of the numbers should be read as a rate. The second is that the pool comes from a single source marketplace, so it describes what that marketplace listed on that date rather than a market. The third is that the status column counts fields, not quality: a row is verified when the record is complete enough to publish, which is a statement about the record and not about the item.

What this page does not claim: nothing here says whether a listing is still available, how long a parcel takes, or how dependable a seller is. This site holds no data of those three kinds, and no figure below substitutes for them.

The page is grouped so a reader can stop at the group that answers the current question. Five figures cover scale. Three questions cover the three things readers ask most often. The last section names where the detail lives, including the vault at /vault/ and the question archive at /faq/.

Five numbers

Five figures carry most of the weight on this page, and each one decides something different. They come from the same extraction on the same day, so they can be read together without worrying about dates drifting apart.

Five figures that carry the page
FigureValueWhat it decides
Entries in the pool195The denominator behind every share and percentage on this site.
Brands represented20How far a brand comparison can run before it exhausts its rows.
Median item price$31.76The centre of the pool, and the figure most often mistaken for a budget.
Images in the pool2,806The total volume of QC material the entries carry between them.
Entries at or above the index threshold158 of 195, or 81%How many rows reach the index layer, and how many are held back.
Source:
Entry pool extracted on 2026-09-29 from the eight category views of the source marketplace, checked against the thresholds published on the method page.
Sample:
n = 195 entries across 8 categories and 20 brands, all from one source marketplace.
Recorded:
2026-W40
Known gap:
One extraction point only. No second snapshot of these fields exists, so none of the five figures carries a trend, a growth rate, or a comparison with an earlier period.

Read the fifth row slowly, because it is the one that changes a published count. The 37 entries that stay out of the index are not defective items and were not judged. Their image groups hold fewer than five images, and the index layer admits a row only when its image group reaches five. The threshold is a publishing rule applied to a field, and it is stated in advance so the count can be reproduced by anyone reading the same pool with the same rule.

  1. The pool count sets every share on this site. A share of 195 is a share of what has been recorded, not a share of the market.
  2. The brand count limits brand comparisons. Twenty brands spread across eight categories means most brands appear in a handful of rows, and a brand average drawn from two rows is close to meaningless.
  3. The median price is the middle value after sorting, not a typical order. An order holds several items and pays freight on top, so the median item price is a floor for the basket rather than an estimate of it.
  4. The image total sets the scale of the QC record. A median entry carries 14 images, the largest group holds 46, and the smallest holds a single image.
  5. The index split is the only place where a threshold changes a visible count: 158 entries in, 37 out, with the rule published rather than implied.

A median of $31.76 is not a budget. The Accessories category alone runs from $5.17 to $451.10, and the pool maximum sits in that category. Any plan built on the median should be tested against the range before it is trusted.

Three common questions

Three questions arrive more often than the rest. Each has a short answer with a number attached, and each answer is bounded by what the pool actually records.

How many entries does this spreadsheet hold? This ledger holds 195, taken from the eight category views of one source marketplace on 2026-09-29. Figures in the thousands appear in public discussion of agent spreadsheets, and those figures are not comparable with this one: they are usually quoted without a date, without a platform mix, and without a rule for removing duplicates. The number here is smaller because it is specific about all three.

What does an entry cost? The pool runs from $5.17 to $451.10 with a median of $31.76, and the category medians spread by a factor of roughly four, from $16.22 for Headwear to $68.68 for Shoes. A cost question is therefore a category question first and a price question second. Someone asking what an entry costs usually wants to know what a basket costs, and that requires the freight line as well, which is why the chargeable weight estimator at /instrument/chargeable-weight/ exists.

Is a record verified? Of the 195 entries, 158 are verified, none sit in the watching state, and 37 are unverified. The 37 are exactly the entries whose image groups fall below five images. Because the derivation uses two fields and one threshold, the count can be reproduced from the same pool without access to anything private.

Verification status across the pool
StatusEntriesHow the status is reached
verified158Image group of five or more, source link present, brand or category recorded.
watching0Image group large enough and source present, but brand missing. No row in this pool meets the middle condition.
unverified37Image group below five images, or a missing source link. In this pool the 37 are the entries below the image threshold.
Source:
Derived from the entry pool extracted on 2026-09-29, using the status rules published on the method page.
Sample:
n = 195 entries. The three status counts sum to the full pool, with no row counted twice.
Recorded:
2026-W40
Known gap:
The status describes fields, not items. A verified row means the record carries enough to publish. It makes no claim about the product, the seller, the price, or the listing.

The watching count is zero, and that is a property of this pool rather than a sign of diligence. The middle state requires a row with a large image group and no brand recorded, and no entry here meets both halves of that condition.

Where to go deeper

The full table lives at /vault/, which lists all 195 rows with category, price, image count, source platform and status on one page. Eight category views sit beneath it, one per category, each carrying the count, the price range and the median for that group alone. A reader who wants to check a single figure on this page should start there, because the vault shows the rows that produce it.

Prose questions are collected at /faq/, which is where the recurring ones end up after they have been answered enough times to be worth writing down. Two instruments cover most cost follow-ups. The agent fee comparison at /instrument/agent-fees/ holds every rate as an editable input and excludes unverified fee fields from its totals rather than counting them as zero. The chargeable weight estimator at /instrument/chargeable-weight/ separates scale weight from volumetric weight and converts the difference into money, which is usually the largest single surprise in a first order.

Sample:
No qualifying sample yet. These are starting values chosen for a calculator, not observed averages from orders.
Recorded:
2026-W40
Known gap:
The defaults are placeholders. A reader who does not replace them with a personal quote is reading the instrument rather than their own order, and the total will be wrong in a direction nobody can predict.

Two of those six lines scale with the item subtotal and four do not, which is the shape most first orders get wrong. Commission and payment surcharge move with value. Domestic shipping moves with item count. Freight moves with weight and volume. Destination tax moves with the declared value against a threshold. A cheap item bought in quantity therefore pays more than its share of domestic shipping, and a light but bulky item pays more than its share of freight.

The habit worth taking from this page is to treat the median as a starting point and the range as the working figure. The pool maximum of $451.10 sits in Accessories, a category whose median is $26.77, so the same category contains both the cheapest entry in the pool at $5.17 and the most expensive one. A summary that reports only the median would hide the entire spread that makes the category interesting.

Every figure on this page carries the review week 2026-W40 and the extraction date 2026-09-29. A reader who quotes one of them should quote the date with it, because the pool is a snapshot and the snapshot has a birthday.
