Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to curated thrift live selling.
This is a planning reference for curated thrift live selling. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional live sale: thirty individually photographed adult shirts, numbered T01–T30. One physical shirt per SKU. The event sells the exact used garment shown, with chest width, back length, fabric-label information and visible defects disclosed.
A prefilled brief to adapt

Carry the same reference through the documents

- Decision note: evidence, unresolved limits, responsible person and next review point.
An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0929: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 30 priced units at KSh 500.00 each. Buyer group: thrift shoppers. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 30 x KSh 500.00 = KSh 15,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 11,150.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 3,850.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 4,500.00. The invoice balance is KSh 10,500.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 6,650.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
