Continue researching; the score is not a guarantee.
Seven checks before you keep a row
BuckyDrop Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find
Give one point for each check you can support. Six or seven points earns more research; a vague row does not get the benefit of the doubt.
PRE-SAVE REVIEW7 POINTS
- The item belongs in the category I am browsing
- Photos show the details that matter for this product type
- Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed
- Price makes sense beside similar finds
- Shipping weight does not ruin the value
- The title and thumbnail are supported by useful details
- I can explain why I would save this find
Score your row
Name the missing evidence before opening more pages.
Keep only if an important detail can be checked quickly.
The row is creating work without giving useful context.
QC photos should change by category
Side profile, toe, heel, sole, insole measurement, and the selected size label.
Front and back, collar or hood, cuffs, closure, print detail, and garment measurements.
Front, back, base, interior, closure, strap attachment, dimensions, and finish close-ups.
Scale, measurement, fastening points, finish, selected option, and any functional detail.
A bag row that supports comparison
- Category and bag type are specific
- Dimensions and strap length are visible
- Interior and closure photos answer practical questions
- Source page matches the selected color
- Weight is labeled as an estimate
- A note explains why the row was saved
A bag row that creates more work
- Title is broad
- Only one front image appears
- No scale or dimensions
- Selected option is unclear
- Price is presented without comparison
- No reason is attached to the saved link
A worked seven-point scoring example
Imagine two jacket rows with similar thumbnails. Row A names the outerwear category, shows front, back, lining, and closure views, includes chest and length measurements, preserves the original source, labels weight as an estimate, and records why the item survived. It earns seven supported points and moves to the next comparison.
Row B has a short title, one promotional image, no selected size, an unexplained converted link, and a low price with no packed-weight context. It may earn one or two points. The right response is not to guess generously; it is to remove the row until the missing evidence can be recovered.
Do not average away a critical gap
A strong price cannot compensate for a mismatched destination, and many photos cannot compensate for a missing selected option. Mark the blocking issue beside the score.
Leave yourself a note for later
A score is most useful when someone can understand it later. Record the date checked, category, selected option, source type, strongest evidence, provisional weight state, and one unresolved question. If the page changes, the note shows which conclusions need to be revisited.
[date] — [item and option] — [score] — [strongest evidence] — [blocking question]Example: “July 30 — black zip jacket, size M — 6/7 — measurements and lining shown — confirm packed-weight estimate.”
Save the row only if you can finish this sentence: “This one stays because…”
What to do next
A high score means the row is worth further checking, not that the item or seller has been verified. Compare it with another row in the same category, review the shipping-weight notes, and read the external-link safety guide.
