Editorial and method

R. Aldana is the byline used by the desk that maintains this sheet. It is a working signature, not a claim to credentials — nobody here has handled the items listed.

How a row gets written

Each row is read from the listing itself: the name as the seller wrote it, the reference price in CNY on the day it was logged, the parcel class implied by the category, and the specific things the listing does not settle. Rows are re-opened periodically; the two dates on each page show when it was first logged and when it was last revisited.

What the two dates mean

A row is revisited when its price moves or when the listing changes shape. If a row has not been touched in months, the page says so rather than quietly refreshing the date.

Corrections

If a row is wrong, the correction is written into the row and the date changes. Nothing is deleted to hide a mistake.

Byline: R. Aldana, Editor. This is a working signature for the desk that maintains the catalogue.
