Using the Sugargoo Spreadsheet to Evaluate Seller Consistency
For long-term users of Sugargoo, one of the most powerful tools at your disposal is not just the platform itself, but the community-driven data collection that happens around it. A key component of this is the "Sugargoo Spreadsheet"—a shared document where users meticulously log their purchases, experiences, and most importantly, the quality and accuracy of the items received.
This article will guide you on how to leverage the historical data within these spreadsheets to perform a crucial task: evaluating seller consistency
Why Seller Consistency is Crucial
In the world of online shopping, especially within communities like Sugargoo's, a single product can be sold by dozens of different suppliers. A one-off positive review might be the result of luck, while a single negative one might be an anomaly. Consistency, however, reveals the seller's true operational standards.

Step-by-Step: Analyzing Seller Data
Here is a practical guide on how to perform this analysis using the data from the Sugargoo Weidian/Taobao or Seller Spreadsheet.
Step 1: Locate and Isolate the Seller's Data
Open the community spreadsheet. Use the 'Find' function (Ctrl+F) to search for the seller's store name or ID. Your goal is to find all entries related to this specific seller.

Step 2: Create Your Own Mini-Spreadsheet
To analyze effectively, copy the relevant entries for your target seller into a new sheet or document. The key data points you need are:
- Date of Purchase:
- Item Purchased:
- User:
- Rating/Score:
- In-Hand Photos:
- Review Comments:
- Item Purchased:
Step 3: Assess Quality Over Time
Sort your mini-spreadsheet by the "Date of Purchase."
Step 4: Analyze Across Different Products
A good test of a seller's overall operation is to see if their quality holds across their entire catalog, or just one "hit" item.
- Does the seller receive high marks for all their products?
- Are there consistent complaints about a specific type of item (e.g., their shoes are great, but their jackets are poor quality)? This level of detail helps you make informed choices about which products to buy from them.
Step 5: Dive into the "Review Comments"
The numeric rating is only half the story. Read the comments carefully. Look for recurring themes:
- Positive Themes:
- Negative Themes:
