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
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.
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.
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.
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.
2026 vs 2027, side by side
| Dimension | 2026 practice | 2027 index |
|---|---|---|
| Row count advertised | 10,000+ (unverified) | 307 (re-verified) |
| Dead-link policy | Left in place | Retired within a week |
| QC coverage | Claimed, not measured | 48 sets logged, coverage stated |
| Shipping info | One line: "shipping calculated at checkout" | Per-line volumetric divisor + estimator |
| Coupon handling | Codes reprinted indefinitely | Dated ledger with reported/expired status |
| Update evidence | "Updated daily" with no date | Dated changelog + last review per page |
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.

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.
