The record companies don't keep.

Companies quietly change what they publish, differently in every country they sell in. Almost none of it is kept.

01 / EVERY DAY

A depot that never closes.

The collector reads the same shelves at the same hour, in every market at once.

02 / EVERY MARKET

The same product, a different number.

London, Singapore, New York. One SKU, one day, three prices.

03 / KEPT

Filed before anyone asks for it.

Written once, never edited. The record exists before the question does.

Observed

It sat at £899 for seven months.

Read once a day. Written down once a day. Never edited.

The reason given

Then the part got expensive.

Memory spot prices more than doubled. The shelf price went up, and the part was the reason given.

What stayed

The cost came back. The price didn’t.

Spot returned to where it started. The shelf price is still exactly where it was put.

£899 memory, spot +118% the reason given £1,049 spot, back where it started TIME →

NOBODY KEEPS

THE RECEIPTS

Filings live on EDGAR forever. Last Tuesday's price lives nowhere. Product pages get overwritten, not archived.

Worldwide

A city of storefronts, read once a day.

Every tower is a market and every window is a number that only exists while somebody is looking at it. We look, and we write it down.

The same company, priced differently in every market.

London, Singapore and New York rarely tell the same story on the same day. Visible to anyone who looks, gone by the time anyone checks.

Price, by market

Daily

One SKU across regional storefronts, in local currency.

Reference prices

Daily

The “was” price, and how long it was ever real.

Availability

Daily

Out-of-stock rates by region. They move before anyone talks about supply.

Catalogue

Weekly

New listings, quiet removals, and which market gets a product first.

Plans and tiers

Weekly

Pricing page structure, and tiers that vanish unannounced.

What gets deleted

Every change

The strongest signal is a removal. Nothing else archives those.

A record of what was published in public, and when. Not investment advice, and not an accusation about anyone. The chart above illustrates the pattern; no data has been collected yet.

Three jobs, every day.

One depot. Read it, file it, prove it.

01 / Collector

Reads the shelves.

Visits every tracked storefront at the same hour, in every market, and writes down what it finds.

Tally, sloth
02 / Archivist

Files it, once.

Every observation is appended and never edited. Corrections arrive as new records, not replacements.

Bandit, raccoon
03 / Auditor

Publishes the proof.

Hashes each day's records and posts the hash, so any later change to the archive is detectable.

Vex, fox
