Sneakers
Look for both sides, toe shape, heel alignment, sole, size label, and a paired overhead view.
Seven checks, one smaller shortlist
Tangbuy Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find
Use this before a row joins your shortlist. It takes less time than reopening a dozen tabs and trying to remember why each one mattered.
The seven-point check
Give each “yes” one point
Do not award half points for promises you cannot inspect. A missing detail is a reason to look further, not something to assume.
The item belongs in the category I am browsing
01Photos show the details that matter for this product type
02Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed
03Price makes sense beside similar finds
04Shipping weight does not ruin the value
05The row is not just hype or a vague label
06I can explain why I would save this find
07
Score your row
The number is a pause button, not a verdict
Use the score to decide whether to keep comparing, look for missing context, or clear the row from today’s shortlist.

Photos by category
Ask one specific question of each photo set
A photo set is useful when it shows the exact item and option from the angles you need. Do not treat the letters “QC” as a pass mark; look at what the images actually reveal.
Clothing
Look for front and back, seams, print or embroidery details, tags, and measurements laid flat.
Bags
Look for dimensions, front and back, interior, hardware, fasteners, strap attachment, and base.
Small accessories
Look for scale, exact measurements, hinges or clasps, material wording, finish, and included pieces.
Worked comparison
Two rows, two very different reasons
Good row example · 7/7
Zip hoodie with measurement set
- Correct clothing category
- Front, back, zip, seam, and fabric close-ups
- Chest, length, shoulder, and sleeve measurements
- Compared with similar fabric-weight options
- Likely garment and packaging weight considered
- Current source destination matches
Save reason: the row supports a focused size and detail check.
Weak row example · 2/7
“Must-have hoodie”
- Category is clear
- One front image
- No measurements
- No similar-row comparison
- No likely weight context
- Vague destination label
Remove reason: the description supplies enthusiasm, not usable detail.
The one-sentence save rule
Save a Tangbuy spreadsheet row only when you can finish the sentence: “I am keeping this because…” with a concrete comparison reason.
