Finding Hidden Gems Before They Blow Up
Only sorting by highest sort_level
Fix: Also check items with sort_level 40-60 that have QC photos but low access counts
Ignoring newly added items
Fix: New items with populated QC lists often represent fresh, high-quality batches
Sticking to one category
Fix: Cross-reference similar items across categories; sometimes a hoodie and a tee share a factory
Not checking SKU diversity
Fix: Items with 5+ SKU variants usually indicate a serious seller with real inventory
How to Track Price Changes Over Time
Prices fluctuate based on factory batch changes, material costs, and seasonal demand. Understanding these patterns helps you time your purchases.
