How to Use the Litbuy Spreadsheet Like a Pro

The Litbuy spreadsheet is powerful once you know how to use it. This guide covers the advanced features that experienced buyers rely on.

Understanding the Columns

• **Product Name**: The item title. Search by brand, model, or color.
• **Category**: Filter by shoes, hoodies, jackets, etc.
• **Batch**: The supplier code. Higher letters usually mean better quality.
• **Price**: Listed in USD. Prices update frequently.
• **Link**: The direct purchase link. Always verify it is current.
• **Notes**: Community feedback, sizing warnings, or quality notes.

Filtering by Category

Use the category dropdown to narrow down. Start with this site to understand the category, then enter the full catalog with context. The 11 categories are: Shoes, Hoodies/Sweaters, T-Shirts, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, Headwear, Sets, Underwear/Underpants, Jersey, Accessories, and Others.

Sorting by Price

Click the price column to sort ascending or descending. This is useful for finding budget options within a category. Remember that the cheapest option is not always the best — check the notes column.

Batch Comparison

The batch column is the most important quality signal. Common batch tiers:

• **Budget**: Good for daily wear, lower price.
• **Mid-tier**: Better materials, more accurate details.
• **Premium**: Closest to retail, highest price.
• **Top-tier**: Rare, usually limited runs.

Search by Keyword

The search bar is the fastest way to find a specific item. Use exact model names for best results. Try "Jordan 1", "Yeezy", "Travis", or "Essentials".

Check the Notes

The notes column is where the community adds real-world feedback. Look for:

• Sizing warnings (runs small, size up)
• Quality flags (loose threads, thin material)
• Shipping notes (fast agent, slow supplier)

Hidden Tips

• **Ctrl+F**: Use the browser find function to search within the current filtered view.
• **Bookmark your filter**: Copy the URL after filtering to save your view.
• **Check the last updated date**: Older entries may have dead links.
