The Hoobuy Spreadsheet is a collaboratively-maintained database of vetted products, suppliers, and pricing data specifically curated for cross-border sourcing. It compiles findings from numerous experienced shoppers and resellers, turning scattered information into a structured, powerful tool.

How It Empowers Beginners

1. Efficient Product Discovery

Instead of spending hours scouring through countless product listings, beginners can use the spreadsheet's filter functions to quickly narrow down options. They can filter by category, price range, estimated profit margin, supplier reliability rating, and even shipping times.

2. Data-Driven Decision Making

The spreadsheet does more than just list products—it provides valuable market intelligence. New sellers learn to interpret sales trends, popularity metrics, and competitor analysis embedded in the data. This helps them identify promising niches and avoid saturated markets.

3. Learning from Community Insights

Each entry often includes comments and experiences from multiple users. This collective wisdom helps beginners understand potential pitfalls, product quality variations, and supplier communication tips that aren't apparent from product listings alone.

4. Risk Reduction

By starting with pre-vetted products and suppliers, newcomers significantly reduce their risk of costly mistakes. The community continuously updates the spreadsheet, flagging unreliable suppliers or products that don't match their descriptions.
