      • Yeah, I clicked Confirm around 3 seconds before, and it went through, albeit for $10 more.

        • +1

          how did you get it? Did u have it in your cart already? Or you just waited for the second it comes and did it like a normal checkout?

          • @dhleoz: Yeah, I had it in the cart already (I missed the 11am one).
            Pressed Confirm, then it said 'the seller has altered the listing' or something like that (the added $10 postage) then I confirmed again and it went through.

  • +3

    Gone already. Scam!!!

  • Missed again.. lol

  • +1

    Is eBay taking a piss?

  • +9

    Postage? WTF. This is misleading.

  • They added a $10 postage fee at the last second! Losers.. But I did get one :)

  • +5

    Couldn't even add it to cart at 12:00:05?

  • What is going on…

  • +1

    Yeah I give up, should have tried the first time. Too many people watching now

  • ?

  • +2

    lol unbelievable, checked out at 10:59:50 and was sold out when i hit buy. time to give up

  • Yeah, 3 seconds after twelve and out of stock, total BS.

    • why is it BS? because you didn't get them? haha

  • +3

    Come on - how people did it… I was refreshing and 100 sold added before I could see the buy now button.

  • Gone in 6* Seconds.
    They need to release a new movie for that. Don't mind me, just here to whine! :'(

  • Wow!!!! Did not last 5 seconds. Gone even before adding to cart.

  • Ok wtf, I managed to add to cart and disappeared later in seconds.
    No way there's 100 an hour

  • 100 got sold in 20 secs or so…. i need to be quicker in an hour

  • +2

    This is not buyable guys. you can checkout 5s after online and all gone.

  • I was really quick this time but still missed out! Interesting. Did the people that got one have it preloaded in the cart or nah?

    • same question here. It's gone in like 6 seconds. Insane. How did people mange to get it this fast?

    • +1

      No. It was in my cart at 11 am run. No luck. Can't beat 6 seconds.

  • Says, you cant apply vouchers at this time

  • looks like they are now also charging $10 postage total in my cart is $109.00

  • Sold out right on 12… How?! =(

  • BAHAHAH oh wow gone in 6 seconds flat? how is this even possible?!

  • What a joke lol, they added $10 shipping to the price.

  • +14

    Sold out in less than 2 seconds.

    GTFO.

  • "The seller doesn't have that many left."
    Sigh.

    And I attempted to checkout within seconds.

  • +1

    missed out again., its too quick. I was on the page and still missed it

  • Didn’t even see an in stock notification, too even add to the cart.

  • gone in 6 seconds

  • Now its $109 total and its stuck in my cart..

    • I have it in checkout page but it still shows $99 although the product page has $10 postage.

  • All gone in 6 Seconds.

    I think some people cleverer than I have customised a script to checkout and pay instantly. I can't compete with that! Game over.

    • How do you do a Script?

      • I don't know. It's not within my purview. :(

  • Soooo anyone here actually managed to get one??

    • Yep, I just got one! Right on 12. But I already had it in my art at $99 with all my details locked in, including the code. I just kept hitting Confirm & Pay. But last second it added the $10 postage so I got them for $109. I have been trying since 10 though hahaha I never get anything like this so SCORE!

      • Did you click "buy now" or "add to cart" the first time?

  • saw some pictures of people using bots to buy the airpods

  • by the time you apply the code is pretty much gone!

    • +2

      If you get them in your cart don't leave the page. I missed the previous hour but stayed on the payment page and just hit pay the next hour and they went through. I'm sure I'm not the only one to do that which explains why they sold out in a few seconds.

      • damn - will leave the cart page open this round so i can get it the following round.

      • damn - will leave the cart page open this round so i can get it the following round.

        • Good luck. If you hit that spot you can spam "pay" and it'll continue to stay on the page with the item still there and just report insufficient stock. The stock doesn't get removed as long as you're on the page so you can spam it in the minute leading up to the hour.

      • I literally pressed Confirm and Pay at the moment the seconds hand hit 12 but still missed out. wtf

      • Have one in my cart but 'Go to checkout' is greyed out. Should I have stayed on the payment page where it says none left when checking out?

        • Yeah it's the payment page I stayed on, not the cart. The previous hour I said "buy now" and went straight to the payment page so in effect skipped the cart entirely.

  • Why can't they just do a 1000 in one hit like the other weekend? Bloody hell.

  • Woo Hoo! Got a pair.

    Had them in my cart from the previous hour with code applied but "insufficient stock". Next hour just spammed pay. Had to add $10 for shipping but $109 is a steal.

    • Did the adding of the $10 affect your cart or just spamming pay still worked with an updated total?

      • +1

        Nah didn't impact me. Was hitting Pay for about 90 seconds and it kept coming back at $99 with "insufficient stock" and then eventually loaded at $109 and next time I hit pay it went through. Didn't want to mess around with addresses to see if changing to my PO Box would save the shipping given how quick they're selling out.

        • I got a pair too, did the exact same thing! :) Spammed hitting Confirm & Pay and the $10 added at the last second.

          • @graceyym: Oh so it doesn’t pop up with an error and reload your page?

    • Did you click "buy now" or "add to cart" the first time?

  • Even with refreshing the app on the hour on my own phone (Optus) and work phone (Telstra) and still nada. Although, my work phone showed the buy picture quicker after what seemed like 10-15 seconds.

    • The App was useless for me, tried refreshing from :58 to :02 and never even got the buy now link.

  • +1

    I don't think they really had 100 units for sale every hour. I was refreshing the page from 11:57 and did not even have a chance to click buy it now button?

  • +3

    Anyone think this is the worst deal of the year?

    Most people commenting here can't even get any…

    It seems very suspicious that 100 sold out in less than 6 seconds

    • It’s worse when places advertise 2 or even 1 of a super deal. Like GTX1080 for $1 or some bs.

      Actually I was thinking more and I think click frenzy was worse. What were those stupid questions?!?

    • I reckon snipers are on it. No doubt will be reselling for $150-$200 next week.

  • Meh..

  • +1

    Had it in cart and ready to pay… sold out before it refreshed with $10 shipping. In like 5 seconds

  • +1

    game over. with bots its impossible to get one.

  • +1

    Why did they just add a $10 delivery fee?

    • so they can get extra $10 profit..

      why else?

    • me too.. $10 delivery applies…

  • +1

    Far out. Kudos to you that got them. I thought I was fast but not fast enough apparently… :(

  • I surprisingly got it this time! Had the Airpods in my cart and kept hitting the confirm and pay and got them for $109. Stupid postage last second, eBay is actually ridiculous. Got them at 12:00:00 AEST.

    • How did you get that page open and ready to go? my go to check out is greyed out.

      • I had it from the 11am stock, I managed to get to the checkout but they ran out of stock when I was trying to pay.

  • Did anyone actually see their cart update to buy it? Cause mine never updated. I'm wondering if i should just go back to refreshing the item.

  • +4

    this is a complete joke the item doesn't even show back in stock before it sells out

    for all i know they could be faking the whole sale

    • +2

      I agree. Definitely not renewing my eBay plus membership after this end in Sept.

    • "Buy it now" & "Add to cart" flashed up for a second (about 5 seconds before the hour) - number sold went from 200-300. bam!

  • +3

    Sneaky bastards changing the postage at the last second, making the total $109 not the $99 advertised. That's actually literally a bait and switch.
    Also, over half were sold at 11:59:59

    ALSO only 99 were actually available, one was sold at 11:05:59 AEST

  • yeah this bs, add to cart gets stuck loading few sec then the code gets stuck loading few sec then sold out, conclusion see you at 1pm for another out of stock deal

  • +2

    Refreshed on exactly 12:00.00 pm and its all sold out apparently

    • +1

      i refreshed about 5 second before the hour and it was already available then.

  • +1

    ok officially giving up. back to work without distractions so I can actually go home on time.

  • I got it this time as well~ had it in my cart, and spammed confirm and pay 30 seconds before 12pm. It confirmed payment with $10 shipping about 11:59:55 I think.

    • Did you click "buy now" or "add to cart" the first time?

      • The first time I clicked buy now.
        Second time, I was already on the checkout screen with all details set so I can just click the "Confirm and Pay".

  • +1

    Got a pair of airpods, Thanks OP

    • How did you do it?

      • Okay, refresh page and when it shows up, add to cart.
        Go to checkout and apply code. Discount will show.
        By the time you click confirm and pay, they'll be sold out and it'll have something like "there's something wrong with your order" blah blah
        Don't stress, don't close that page. Just before the next batch at XX:58 keep spamming the confirm and pay button. It'll keep refreshing and out of no where, order successful.
        Goodluck

  • I kept refreshing airpod is sold out before 12PM… What on earth?….

  • +1

    GOT ONE! But had it in cart from the previous hour. Stressful, but fun! https://i.imgur.com/BUrJtp5.png

    So for those who have it in cart but when checking out it prompts in red at the top: "We noticed a problem. Please review: your items"
    DO NOT close that session!

    Keep it open. At 12:59PM start spamming the heck out of it, it will then say "The seller has revised its listing" of which you press 'Confirm and Pay' one more time, and then it will check out.

    But yeah pretty shady that they jacked $10 postage on top.

    • +2

      I was able to even go through my Browser history to restore that checkout page if you do happen to close it.

    • I did that. Then the first "Confirm and Pay" said the items had changed. Then the second time I spammed it (immediately after), the item was gone. It's a joke.

    • Does it automatically refresh or would we have to manually refresh the page at 12:59?

    • +1

      I did the same as you and managed to grab one :)

  • +3

    Got a pair.
    Had the checkout page open from the 11am release I missed and just kept hitting the "Confirm and Pay" button around 12.

    Sneaky buggers added $10 postage, but it still processed my order.

    • Did the same and got one.

  • Can’t add the thing to my cart lol

  • guys, silly question but id assume this is 1 item per customer?
    if i get it in 1PM release, i cnt get another at later releases?

    • +1

      correct. And frankly, the chance of you even getting one is extremely remote!
