The rules of a market, on one page each. Written from primary sources, dated, and honest about what could not be verified.
These exist because most of what gets sold as sourcing knowledge is a blog post quoting another blog post. Every sheet here names where it came from, says when it was checked, and lists the claims we could not confirm instead of repeating them.
Manifests are MSRP with no resale column, letter grades are cosmetic, and shortfall is measured on retail but paid on your bid.
LiquidationA dollar single unit order loses about $4 on every channel that ships. The fix is pack size, and the numbers are here.
AmazonTen of the same product, no ASIN needed, and the supplier type that fails no matter how perfect the document is.
SourcingHow you pay decides whether a bad deal is recoverable. Plus the resale certificate list everyone repeats that is wrong.
ElectronicsMost manufacturer refurb stores ban resale. The same companies run volume desks that welcome it, with the numbers to call.
Cash outBuy the deal on your card, ship it to their warehouse, get reimbursed, keep the points. And the four ways it goes wrong.
EcommerceA $49 app needs a 32.7% conversion lift at 500 visits to break even, and at that traffic you cannot measure it at all.
CryptoSupply concentration, bundled buys, deployer history, tax and sellability, liquidity, and the social layer.
More get added as they get checked. If a sheet here goes stale, it gets corrected on the page rather than quietly left up. What shipped and when is on the changelog.
