# Stale Listings (>180d no update), Bonanza

> Stale Listings (>180d no update) for Bonanza stores. Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it.

**Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained)  •  **Category:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type)

## At a glance

> **Stale Listings (>180d no update)** counts the item listings in your booth that have not been edited in over 180 days. On Bonanza, listings left untouched for half a year tend to drift on price and stock and rank poorly in search and Google Shopping distribution. When stale listings climb above 15% of your catalogue, it is time for a refresh pass. Keeping listings current keeps them visible and accurate.

| **What it counts**    | The number of item listings not edited in over 180 days.                                                                                              |
| **Sample type**       | Backend API data from Bonanza, refreshed on the standard data refresh.                                                                                |
| **Why it matters**    | Untouched listings drift on price and stock, rank poorly, and quietly drag on discoverability across Bonanza search and Google Shopping distribution. |
| **Reading the value** | Read it as a count, and against your catalogue size. Above 15% of the catalogue signals a refresh pass is overdue.                                    |

## Calculation

Vortex IQ checks the last-edited date on each item listing and counts those untouched for more than 180 days, refreshed in real time. The count falls as you edit listings and rises as more cross the 180-day line. The card weighs this count against your total catalogue and flags when stale listings exceed 15% of all listings, so the same raw number reads differently for a small booth than a large one. See the At a glance summary above for the 15% line and the worked example below for a typical reading.

## Worked example

*A representative reading of **Stale Listings (>180d no update)** for a typical merchant on Bonanza.* On 14 Mar 26 a booth showed 240 stale listings against a catalogue of 1,400, about 17%, just above the 15% alert. Most sat in a few seasonal categories that had not been touched since the previous year. The interpretation was a backlog of neglected listings rather than a single broken import, and the action was a refresh pass to update prices, photos, and stock on the oldest listings first and retire any no longer carried. Vortex Mind traces the upstream cause, here the dormant seasonal categories, and Ask Viq lets you ask "which listings have not been updated in six months" in plain English.

## Reconciling against Bonanza

**Where to look in Bonanza's own dashboard:**

Open your booth dashboard and review the selling and items area, sorting by last-edited or last-updated date. The listings sitting beyond 180 days are what Vortex IQ counts as stale.

**Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:**

| Reason                                                                                                                     | Direction | What to do               |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ |
| **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ measures the 180-day cutoff in real time; Bonanza dashboards may group by calendar periods. | Variable  | Match the period range.  |
| **Time zone.** Bonanza uses account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to merchant reporting time zone.                           | Marginal  | Confirm time zone match. |
| **Filter scope.** Profile-level filters (booth, channel, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view.                       | Variable  | Match filter settings.   |

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Q: How often does Stale Listings (>180d no update) update?**
It recalculates on the standard data refresh, typically every 30 to 60 minutes, and measures the 180-day cutoff in real time. Force a manual refresh from the dashboard if you need the latest count immediately.

**Q: Why does my Bonanza dashboard show a different number?**
The usual reasons are period-boundary differences, time-zone alignment, and filter scope (profile-level versus Bonanza's all-booth view). A bulk edit since the last refresh may also not yet be reflected in the count.

**Q: Does an Importer sync count as an update?**
A genuine change pushed through the Bonanza Importer that edits the listing resets its last-updated date and clears it from the stale count. A sync that finds no change to apply leaves the listing's edit date untouched, so it can still read as stale.

**Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?**
Yes, sensitivity thresholds are configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default.
