The Kakobuy sheet looks intimidating on first visit: dense rows, cryptic short codes, colour highlights. Ten minutes of practice makes it second nature. This piece is the reference you can keep open in a second tab.
The Column Anatomy of a Kakobuy Sheet
- Name
- Product name plus edition tag. „AF1 Triple White“ or „Chanel 22 Small – Black“. Sometimes carries the seller’s SKU code in parentheses.
- Category
- One of Shoes, Clothing, Bags, Perfume, Watches, Jewelry, Glasses, Accessories, Toys.
- Seller Link
- The URL you copy into Kakobuy’s purchase box.
- Price
- Indicative CNY. Real charge shown after Kakobuy fetches the seller page.
- Batch / Edition
- Shorthand for the production run. Critical for sneakers.
- Size / Variant Notes
- Sizing quirks, colourway codes, whether the box is included.
- Note
- Free-form observations. Trust the note column – it holds hard-won QC lessons.
Batch Codes You Will See
Batch codes come from the community, not the seller. Common codes on sneakers:
- UB: a widely-used batch for AF1, Dunks and some Jordans.
- PK: an alternative sneaker batch that trades cost for finish.
- LJR: historically strong on Jordan 4 and 11.
- GD: a broader batch used on several silhouettes.
Batch preferences change over time. What the best Kakobuy spreadsheet flags this quarter may shift next quarter. Read the note column, not just the batch letter.
Seller Marks
Well-organised sheets include a small icon or letter tag on rows from trusted sellers. Sometimes it is a star, sometimes a coloured cell. Read the sheet’s legend if it has one. When a mark disappears from a seller, it is usually because their consistency dropped.
Colour Highlights
Rows sometimes carry a background colour. Green usually means „verified reliable“, red flags „known issues, avoid unless you know what you are doing“. Yellow is somewhere in between. There is no universal convention, so scroll to the top of the sheet to check the key.
Multi-Row Products
Common for hyped items. You may see three or four rows for the same product across different sellers. Compare batch, price and note before choosing. The cheapest row is often not the best row.
Where the Note Column Beats Everything Else
A row on the Kakobuy sheet that carries a specific note – „sizing runs 0.5 large“ or „V3 batch, avoid V2“ – is worth more than a colour highlight. Notes are where hard experience lives.
Practising Without Spending
Open the Kakobuy sheet on FCsheet and read for ten minutes without buying. Try to guess which row would be the safe pick for a given product. When your guesses start matching the note column, you can shop confidently.
Feeding Back
When your own QC shows something the sheet did not capture, share it. That is how the sheet stays useful. Curators listen.
