How to read this
Each median in the table is taken, for one caliber, over the last observation of each (retailer, product) pair in the closing UTC day, counted only when that observation was in stock, at tracked online retailers. The retailer count says how many retailers that median covers.
A daily print is published only when every basket caliber clears its coverage floor, so months contain gaps by design. This release covers the 17 prints that were published in September 2026; no missing day is interpolated, and no value is carried forward.
These figures describe observed prices in a month that has ended. IronScout does not predict future pricing. Full methodology.
