Smarter luxury shopping begins with data-driven decisions. The CNfans spreadsheet model
How the CNfans Auto-Calculating Spreadsheet Works
Our proprietary tracking system aggregates pricing data across LV markets with three core functions:
- Live currency conversion
- Tax inclusion algorithms
- Shipping cost estimator
- Tax inclusion algorithms
Case Example: The Capucines MM Analysis
When evaluating the Cappucines MM (M61451) last quarter, the model revealed:
| Market | Base Price | Tax Status | Final Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| France | €4,700 | VAT refundable | €3,948 (after 16% refund) |
| Japan | ¥748,000 | Inclusive tax | ¥748,000 |
| USA | $5,550 | Pre-tax | $6,028 (with CA sales tax) |
Resulting a 14.3% savings from Paris versus Tokyo after shipping costs thanks to dynamic currency optimization in the CNfans template.
The Triangular Arbitrage Advantage
Seasoned CNfans agents compound benefits through multi-hop purchasing:
- Source Neverfull MM in Germany (19% VAT reclaim)
- Warehouse in UK (temporary storage avoids import duty)
- Final shipment to China (CNfans exempt shipping thresholds)
Pro Tip: Exchange Rate Alerts
Enable the spreadsheet's push notification function when:
- EUR/CNY drops below 7.4 favorable buying window
- JPY weakens beyond 20.5 JPY/CNY trigger point
- GBP sales during post-Brexit volatility phases
Every LV listing receives 89 geolocated data points with minimum pricing in Italy consistently followed by Germany and France, however procurement graphs show luggage collections yield better margins when sourced from Singapore.
Note: Always comply with LV"s geographic sales policies. The CNfans compliance module
