How to read this
- • Lines show the stored daily snapshot for each available purchase option.
- • Flat sections mean the catalog snapshot did not record a price move on those days.
- • Missing lines or gaps mean that purchase option was not present in the stored snapshot.
- • Change notes on the right come from recorded price-change events for this exact offer.
Recorded change log
No recorded change events in this window yet. If prices stay flat, the chart still shows continuity, but there is nothing in the event log to explain.
