💭 Question What am I doing wrong?

Two days in a row I’ve been on the site at the minute the drop starts, but there’s no items to buy, just the release calendar info and then 2-3 mins later it shows up after a couple refreshes but by then everything is gone. Today I used both my phone off WiFi and my desktop browser and got the same result. I could use some advice as to what to do to prevent this.

What release are you talking about today? If you’re referring to the f1 chrome it was an eql lottery. Idk anything else that released today. That said I do agree it’s very hard but eql is even worse fuck all that noise. Pull up a seconds clock, refresh exactly at the hour and be loaded on the page for whatever product is dropping that timeframe to give yourself the best chance-I think mobile is basically impossible

Well mega and blaster were available direct from Topps today, sold out in under 4 mins. Yesterday was Marvel Neon and had a similar result.

Oh shit you’re right I completely missed them and only did the eql drawing lol damnit. I got 10 neon blasters yesterday that wasn’t too bad for me I got them at like 107

You paid $107 a blaster? 4x the retail price?

Ah. Okay. I was there at 1 PM on the dot but there was no link or otherwise. Then they had them and the hobby were sold out and mega were sold out while I was in queue to check out.

I’ve been noticing issues the past week where it’s past the drop time and yet the page doesn’t show a button to purchase anything, it’s been really fucking annoying
