The Clearance Is Finally Draining, Very Slowly

30 August 2026

Where the market stands against 27 August:

In stock	79,008 → 76,540
Discounted	29,942 → 28,727
At 50% off or deeper	8,165 → 8,016
Average genuine discount	38% → 38%

2,468 items left the shelf in three days. That is a real improvement on the stillness in the middle of the month, when 27 items moved in a full day, but it is not a rush either.

The most telling number is the one that did not change. The average discount sits at 38%, unmoved. The brands are neither cutting deeper nor pulling discounts back. They are waiting.

For shoppers: there is no reason to hurry. While the average holds at 38%, prices are exactly where they were left. The real signal comes when that number moves, down, meaning the brands blinked, or up, meaning the new season has arrived.

A disclosure: no Sapphire figures appear in this story. We have found a fault in its data that we are working on, and nothing from that brand carries a claim until it is fixed.
