LABOR DAY 2026PRICE REPORT
Snapshot as of September 15, 2026.
Shops took 7,044 of the 8,949 sale prices set from September 2 to 7, 2026 back to the old price, or 78.7%. That means a price the listing had held in the 30 days before the sale, to the cent. Another 145 moved to some other price, and 1,760 hadn’t changed again by September 15.
What it means for you. Going by Labor Day, a holiday sale price usually doesn’t last: about four in five (78.7%) went back to the old price. Shops raised 4,441 prices on Tuesday, September 8, the day after Labor Day, and 1,542 more on the 9th. If you pass on a holiday sale price, expect it to go back to the old price once the sale ends.
