Everything this site claims rests on readings we took ourselves, one per listing per day. Those readings are below, and the rows behind our main claim are a file you can download. We would rather you recomputed our figures than believed them.
2026-08-06 to 2026-08-29. That is 24 calendar days and 24 days of readings — no day is missing.
Of the 15,203 listings we have now read on 14 or more separate days, 13,325 (87.6%) show a “before discount” price higher than anything we ever recorded for them.
We count a listing as unmatched when the seller’s crossed-out price is more than 1.15× the highest price we ourselves recorded — the margin is there so an ordinary fluctuation is not called a false claim. It says the number cannot be matched against our record. It does not say the seller lied, and we do not know their intent.

Once a day we ask AliExpress for the current price of every listing we track and write it down with the date. We never edit a past reading. A listing that leaves the catalogue keeps the readings it already has.
We do not use the seller’s crossed-out price as evidence of anything, because AliExpress does not verify it. It appears in our data only as the claim being tested.
We say nothing about a listing until we have read it on 14 separate days, and we do not describe any seller as dishonest. Our record either contains a price or it does not; that is the whole of what we know.
Found a figure that does not reconcile? Every price we have recorded is browsable per listing, and the file above is the same data in bulk. If our numbers are wrong we would rather hear it than keep printing them.
