to be honest a friend recently filled me in, in really nice detail too but if you want my shitty version...

there's lots to talk about so if you could specify what you have most difficulty w/ in ratuken
If it's searching then yeah...
Ratuken is a JAPANESE BASED website so I THINK it'd be in your best interested to look at Japanese designer pieces since they'll be most accessible/prominent on the site
Yohji Yamamoto, CdG, Junya etc etc MAKE SURE TO HAVE A SOLID KNOWLEDGE ON WHAT DESIGNERS YOUR LOOKING AT, WHAT YOU WANT
Rick, Ann D, cdiem etc all also exist but the pieces are bit more scarce and the prices a little more 'iffy'.

There will be HEAPS of trawling through pages to find what you want, spent like 12hours over the last 2 days look through pages and bookmarking stuff and moving on
You get more efficient trawling/screening through the site as you do it more and more

So..
tl;dr
1. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR (makins searching easier)
2. KNOW YOUR DESIGNERS, *type into searchbar
3. MAKE SURE TO SET ASIDE DEDICATED TIME (it isn't all that time consuming once you get the hang of it)
4. BOOK MARK BOOK MARK BOOK MARK
5. RE-CHECK BOOKMARKS AND BE REALISTIC, IF YOU CANT HAVE IT OR IT WONT FIT YOU DELETE IT (let someone else get it, or send it to a friend idk (better your friends then some fat sweaty ln-cc sales rep who will throw it in a archive and try sell it for 10k))

protip: there are sort of like..ratuken based stories you may come across when trawling; i think it would be in your interest to make a note of these stores and exclusively navigate all their stock, progressively.

The further back you go, the richer the jawnz

best of luck.
hit me up if further questions.
If you want really detailed things maybe ask user, he's the master at this.
also, timber. He's a guru at this shit, fucking og CdG everywhere.
