What the photos gave away.
Editor’s note
One store is connected, so a single supplier is being compared with itself. 9 of 376 products have more than one seller, and the total price gap across all of them is $19.81. The story this page exists for, a $9 thing selling for $89 elsewhere, needs a second store.
What is here instead is smaller, and real: what collapsed, what came close and did not, and the shape of the catalogue.
Every finding, with its chart.
Filter by what happened. Each chart is drawn from the live index.

Two listings, one title, two different objects
