Spreadsheet Kakobuy 2026

The index as it stood through 2026, kept online because the changes are the interesting part. Prices and stock here are historical; the method is not.

2026 in four quarters

Q1 2026

The Google Sheet years end

Most Kakobuy lists were still a single public Google Sheet with 40 tabs. Loading took 40 seconds on mobile, which is why the phrase "spreadsheet website" started appearing in listings.

Q2 2026

QC photos become the selling point

Sites began printing "with QC photos" in the title. Coverage was, and still is, partial — usually under a fifth of rows.

Q3 2026

Coupons move from banner to ledger

New-user packs ($410 headline, split into small vouchers) became the standard acquisition lever. Most lists reprinted codes without expiry dates.

Q4 2026

Tools, not lists

Shipping estimators, link converters and QC finders appeared. The lists that survived were the ones that answered a question instead of dumping rows.

What the archive is useful for

  • Price memory. If a seller's price doubled between Q2 and Q4, that is visible here and nowhere else.
  • Vocabulary. The QC terms on this site were defined against the 2026 batches; the definitions still hold.
  • Judging other lists. Compare any spreadsheet claiming "10,000+ finds" with what happened to the lists that made that claim in 2026.
Do not order from this page. Listing IDs and prices are frozen at the 2026 snapshot. Use the 2027 index for anything live.

Four rows from the archive

Images and links still point at the live catalogue, so a click will show today's price — not the 2026 price. That mismatch is the point of the archive.


Questions about the archive

Why keep a 2026 page online at all?

Because people still search "spreadsheet kakobuy 2026", and because the archive is evidence. It shows what the index looked like before the current review cycle, which is more convincing than any claim of constant improvement.

Is the 2026 data still valid?

Prices and stock are not. The method notes, the category structure and the QC vocabulary still are. Treat this page as a record, and use the 2027 index for anything you intend to buy.

Did rows really disappear between the two years?

Yes. The 2026 snapshot held more rows than the 307 you see now, because we removed listings that stopped resolving. A smaller list that works beats a larger list that does not.
