Fight bots with bots for out-of-stock items
We’re all tired of shopping bots beating us to the punch when we’re trying to buy hard-to-find items. Take some of the power back from the scalpers by creating your own bot to notify you of inventory updates when they happen. UptimeRobot: Waiting for a product to be restocked? Create a personal robot to alert…

It’s clever, but no one should have to go to all that trouble just to get a PS5.
It’s up to individual shops to not give a platform for scalpers.

Some of them limit orders to 2 per customer, but to me this is still too much, it should be 1 per customer address on high demand items

Sony is literally doing it on purpose to make it seem like they’re selling more😂

Doing what on purpose? Making them unavailable? Wouldn’t making them AVAILABLE actually sell more though? 😛

What this guy fails to tell you is that this services IP addresses are already Blocked by companies like Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart etc so everytime the bot goes to monitor the page it’s blocked. You also have to pay for the pro version which sets the monitor to every 1 minute vs the free version is set to every 5 minutes. Regardless, this bot is already burnout. Don’t waste your money or hopes this will work because it won’t . On a side note, BestBuy even is using an image for their Sold Out button to hide the status from any Bots. Doesn’t work folks. Sorry.

This just contributes more to the problem. Would you teach a bunch of people how to become violent because the surrounding environment has become hyper-violent? That’s essentially what you are doing for shopping. You ARE part of the problem. And now you’ve influenced others to add to the problem even more….

I got my hands on a PS5 bundle with Spiderman: Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank and COD: The Village, but I still haven’t unboxed it because I don’t have a good enough TV yet.

How about everyone not paying 2x or more for ps5? So that will stop scalpers!

Amazing i am going to try and use this, hopefully will work for UK sites too and is free. Otherwise being a programmer i thought id have to write and host my own site scraper to pickup the status change on the site.
