Master Chinese Shopping with the Acbuy Spreadsheet: Exclusive Tips from Reddit

2025-08-03

As an experienced Acbuy shopper, I've discovered that the real magic happens when you harness the power of the Acbuy spreadsheet

Layer Your Discounts Like a Pro

Most users scan the spreadsheet for straight discounts, but smart shoppers know to combine:

  • Hidden bulk purchase prices (look for cells with light gray annotations)
  • Cross-store coupon combinations marked with "CC" in the spreadsheet
  • Time-sensitive "flash price" columns that show sudden drops

Reverse-Engineer the Algorithm

By tracking how often prices update (Column J-K intervals), I found items receiving frequent micro-discounts (¥5-¥20 decreases) often signal:

Upcoming clearance
New version releases (old stock discount)
Seller competition heating up

The Power of the Notes Tab

The "Timers_BG" tab hides secret community-sourced insights. When you see:

Code Meaning
※3R 3pm restock likely
[T]2D Taobao 2-day delivery confirmed

Protip: Right-click cells with red borders to uncover buried shipping specials not automatically calculated by Acbuy's system.

This Week's Insane Find:

I recently used these methods to snag ¥900 Anti Social Social Club hoodies for ¥273 with stacked warehouse credits (true story – screenshot in comments). The deal wasn't advertised – I spotted dotted-line price patterns matching prevous discount windows from Columns M-S aggregates.

Whether it's weird color-coding patterns you've noticed or taps that short-circuit the Acbuy coupon system
