What's That One Thing You've Always Tried to Buy but It Sells out Quickly?

I know we're a community of bargain hunters. However, there are instances where there is something we really want and can't wait for it to go on sale because the moment it lands on the website or is on the shelves- it sells out in minutes/hours? - even worse, you find it for sale at a insane marked up price.

I've seen the pain sneaker fans go through with bots or doing lines outside of the store. Buying concert tickets is always the worst.

What has been your pain?

    A PS5?

    But considering your post OP, I did try to buy the Nike Playstation PG 2.5 size 13 back in 2018. Unfortunately, my US mail forwarder couldn't get one in time and I was unaware that Foot Locker here were selling them too so missed out.

    It’s the internet’s fault.

      Just buy an SSD and faster internet, much time saved.

      Install uBlock + Sponsorblock to skip ads & sponsor segments on YouTube.

      Set YouTube playback speed to 1.1x

      • 1.1x pfft… you gotta pump those numbers up, Those are rookie numbers.

        • Depends what you're watching, just 1.1x as a default is good since it's not too noticeable. I normally do podcasts at 1.3x in my car as I found when I go faster than that I can't retain what they're talking about when my focus is split on driving. Still saves a good chunk of time though.

            @Agret: Likewise, except I leave YouTube at 1.0x and podcasts at 1.2x (with AntennaPod; used to use Pocket Casts).

            I must be a 10% slower thinker than you! :P

  • Erstwilder brooches. When they get released you have at most 30 seconds to get them in your cart and checkout before the most popular one(s) get sold out.
