How to use the Sourcing Desk: from browsing to a max buy in five steps

Started by Jeff_FL · August 4, 2026

STEP 1 — SET YOUR RANGE, THEN SCAN

Open the side panel on any supported site and set a price range first. Automatic scanning is off by default; nothing is analysed until you press Scan page. That's on purpose — scanning burns radar watches, and you decide what's worth spending them on.

Supported: Buyee (Yahoo Auctions, Mercari Japan, PayPay Flea), Facebook, Reddit, WatchUSeek, WatchRecon.

If a page was already open before you installed or updated the extension, reload it. Content scripts only inject at page load.

STEP 2 — READ THE CARD, INCLUDING WHAT IT WON'T TELL YOU

Each card shows landed cost, expected profit, ROI, a verdict, and your maximum offer.

Landed cost is the real number — currency conversion, import duty, shipping, and Buyee fees where they apply. Not the sticker price.

Watch for these:

"Price unknown" — the seller's asking price couldn't be parsed. There's no ROI to compute, so you won't get a verdict. Fix it in the app.

"sold check failed" plus a reason — the reason matters. "Zero cards parsed" usually means the query wasn't specific enough. "Dead tab" or "transport timeout" means try again.

"THIN" — fewer than three sold comps. Directional, not a valuation.

STEP 3 — SELECT AND SEND

Tick the ones worth keeping and press Send selected, or Send all for the lot. Over 100 at a time is fine; it splits automatically.

You'll get a count back: "Sent 12 of 13. 0 skipped, 1 failed." If something didn't make it, the reason is there rather than a silent drop.

Send the broken ones too. That's the point of the next step.

STEP 4 — WORK THEM IN SCANS

Everything lands in Scans, sorted with the priceable rows on top.

Set "Needs input" in the filter to jump straight to rows missing an asking price. Hit Edit on a row to type the price the seller wants, or correct the reference when the extension guessed wrong.

Expand a row (the +) for the actual sold comps with their conditions, and active asks broken out by market.

WORKED EXAMPLE. A WatchRecon listing comes in as "Dan Henry 1964 Gran Turismo 36mm Evil Panda - Box/Papers", ask $160, no comps — every column a dash. eBay has nothing under that headline because it's a title, not a search. Press Ask Loupe: it returns a $190 asking price from WatchUSeek dated 2026-04-09, and a $185-$200 range from WatchPatrol marked undated. That's not a sold comp and the tool won't pretend it is — but you now know roughly where the watch sits, and $160 against a $185-200 ask is worth a closer look rather than a guess.

STEP 5 — PROMOTE WHAT'S WORTH WORKING

Select the keepers and Add to Leads. It copies rather than moves, and the row is marked "In Leads" so you can see what's been through. Leads stays your working pipeline; Scans stays the raw pile.

Delete the rest — select and Delete selected. Deleting a scan never touches a lead you already created from it.

A NOTE ON WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN

Max buy comes from sold comps only. Not asking prices, not Loupe research, not market context. Those are all shown, all labelled, and none of them move your buy number.

The tool tells you how many comps it found, not just a price. Two comps and twenty are different kinds of answer, and you should always be able to tell which one you're looking at before you spend money.
