Reliability	the tracker's own stock history shows this offer last in stock on 30 November 2019 and 'Stock unknown' since 28 February 2022, so availability is unverified

Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The page is live and specific - it names eight dated candles, each USD 18.88 for two years - but none of the four order links reaches a Candle product. Three repoint to the account support-level store, where the cheapest line is USD 60.00 a year for support, and the fourth is Out of Stock. The page also says the offers are discussed on LowEndSpirit, which is where the detail lives, so the page may be a permanent stub that never carried a working cart. Not verified: whether the candles are claimable at all through a route did not try, such as a LowEndSpirit thread link.
