Quick Summary: Identify high-ROI fashion items to track in your lovegobuy spreadsheet including sneakers, hoodies, jerseys, accessories, and seasonal drops with profit potential.

Introduction: Tracking the Right Things

A common mistake among new resellers is tracking everything. They add low-margin socks, generic belts, and slow-moving accessories to their lovegobuy spreadsheet, then wonder why their hourly profit is depressing. Tracking is not free — it costs your time. This guide shows you exactly what deserves a row.

Category 1: Limited Sneakers and Collabs

Nike Dunk lows, Travis Scott collabs, Off-White releases, and Yeezy restocks dominate resale markets. Margins range from 40% to 200% depending on size and hype. The lovegobuy spreadsheet is essential here because sizes sell at wildly different prices. A size 10 might resell at $300 while a size 14 sits at $180.

Category 2: Branded Hoodies and Sweaters

Supreme box logos, Chrome Hearts hoodies, and Fear of God essentials move consistently year-round. They are bulky to ship, so accurate shipping cost tracking in your lovegobuy spreadsheet is critical. A $10 shipping miscalculation on a hoodie can erase your entire margin.

Category 3: Sports Jerseys and Team Wear

Soccer jerseys spike in price before major tournaments. NBA jerseys sell steadily. The key is timing: buy jerseys 3-4 weeks before a World Cup or playoffs, then track demand in your spreadsheet. Our lovegobuy spreadsheet includes a Seasonal Demand column specifically for this.

Category 4: Accessories and Bags

Socks, caps, and small leather goods have lower individual margins but extremely low shipping costs per unit. Many resellers bundle them with larger orders. Use the lovegobuy spreadsheet Bundle column to track which accessory pairs with which main item.

Category 5: Seasonal and Trend Items

Puffer jackets in October, swim shorts in May, and festival wear in June. These are time-sensitive. The lovegobuy spreadsheet Due Date column helps you plan purchases so items arrive before demand peaks.

Items You Should NOT Track

  • Personal-use items with no resale intent. Keep personal shopping separate.
  • Single-unit gifts for friends. The spreadsheet overhead is not worth it.
  • Items under $15 buy price. The margin is too thin to justify tracking time.
  • Experimental test orders from unknown vendors. Track only after QC passes.
  • Products you are 90% sure you will return. Add them only if you keep them.

Spreadsheet Columns for Item Tracking

  • Add a Category column to filter your dashboard by sneakers, hoodies, jerseys, etc.
  • Use a Season column to flag items as Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter.
  • Create a Size Rarity column for sneakers. Rare sizes often have higher margins.
  • Track Hold Time in days to see which categories sell fastest after arrival.
  • Color-code rows by category using conditional formatting for visual scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I track personal items in the same spreadsheet?

A: No. Keep business and personal separate. Mixing them skews your profit calculations and creates tax confusion.

Q: How many items should I track per month?

A: Start with 10-20. Scale to 50+ only after your workflow is smooth. Quality tracking beats chaotic volume.

Q: Do all items need QC photos?

A: High-value items (over $50 buy price) always need QC. Low-value accessories can skip QC if you trust the vendor.

Q: What if an item sits unsold for months?

A: Add a Stale column to your lovegobuy spreadsheet. Flag anything over 90 days unsold and consider discounting or bundling.

Q: Can I track pre-orders?

A: Yes. Use a Pre-Order status and add an Expected Ship Date column so you do not forget about pending releases.
