Method
What this sample is. These are the 44 listings Gumroad ranked first in Photography > Reference Photos when the category was crawled on 5 August 2026, up to three pages deep. It is not a count of everything in the category, and nothing here supports a claim about category size — 191 of the 261 categories came back at the same 44-listing crawl cap. What it does support is comparison: every category was sampled the same way, from the same ranking, on the same day. Prices are converted to USD at ECB reference rates for 2026-08-06.

What is not free is the analysis: which categories are openings versus crowded rooms, where price and demand come apart, and what the background rate of unsold listings means if you are choosing what to build next. You are paying for the interpretation, not for the rows. The rows are free, above and in the repository. If the data is all you wanted, take it and skip this.
