Shoes and sneakers
Look for both sides, toe shape, heel, outsole, inside size label, and a view that makes proportions clear.
Give every save a reason
Cocbuy Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find
A row does not need to answer every possible question. It does need enough relevant evidence to earn the next five minutes of your attention.
Quick answer
Give the row one point for each check it passes. Keep six- or seven-point candidates, research four- or five-point rows, and remove low scores until better evidence appears.
Seven points, no guesswork
The pre-save checklist
Read each statement literally. A vague “probably” is not a point.
□
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 row is not just hype or a vague label.
□
I can explain why I would save this find.
How to use it: Score what is visible now. Do not award points for details you hope will appear later.

A score is a browsing discipline, not a product rating. Six points do not verify the seller or guarantee quality. They mean the row contains enough useful context for further checking.
Useful angles change
QC photos by category
Cocbuy QC photos should answer the questions raised by the object. More images are not automatically better.
Hoodies and shirts
Look for front and back, collar or hood, cuffs, seams, decoration close-ups, and measurements laid flat where possible.
Jackets and pants
Look for lining, closures, pockets, waistband, rise, hem, and product-specific measurements rather than size letters alone.
Bags
Look for front, back, base, interior, closure, strap anchors, hardware, and a reference that communicates scale.
Watches and jewelry
Look for dial or surface close-ups, side profile, clasp, rear, dimensions, finish, and honest views under ordinary light.
Electronics
Photos help with ports, labels, included parts, and physical condition. They do not replace specifications, compatibility, or official support.
QC boundary: cocbuy.org does not take or verify QC photos. Third-party images can help you ask better questions, but they do not guarantee what will arrive.
See the difference
A good row and a weak row
Example: seven-point thinking
A hoodie row names the garment, shows front, back, cuffs, hood, and decoration, includes chest and length measurements, sits beside similar hoodies, notes likely weight, avoids hype, and stays saved because the fit evidence is usable.
Example: two-point thinking
A jacket row says “best find,” shows one polished image, uses only S/M/L labels, appears cheap beside unrelated accessories, gives no weight context, and is saved because it looks popular.
These are invented evaluation examples, not product listings, reviews, or seller claims.
The one-sentence save rule
Save only when you can finish this sentence: “I am keeping this row because the visible evidence shows…”
What to do next
Choose the next page based on the point the row missed. Do not restart the whole browsing process.
