How to buy Xiaomi Mi3 from Flipkart before it's sold out?
About 20,000 new Xiaomi Mi3 phones will go on sale on Flipkart tomorrow and over 100,000 potential buyers have already registered to buy the phone. Last few sales saw unprecedented response, with the batch getting sold out in just 2-3 seconds. I was wondering if there's any definitive guide to making your purchase before the phone gets sold out.
One strategy I was told is to log in to Flipkart through their mobile app. It continues to work even when the website goes down under heavy traffic. Has anyone tried this technique?

avii^it doesn't work (or may not work)
- get registered for the sale
- hope you see the phone in cart
- if not, you get it next time
however, if you thought you can outsmart FK and tried to register for multiple times, then you are not gonna get Xiaomi. very unlikely. There are many ways to track whether its same user or not:
- IP
- cookies
- flash cookies
- matching IP with earlier transactions etc
and people who had registered for earlier sale missed the chance, have high probability of getting it next time.
FK has a fraud detection system, cos people are buying it for 12-14k on Flipkart and selling it on OLX for 16-18K. Apparently, their system ain't perfect and they end up pissing off genuine customers also.
tldr; there are no tricks afaik, just hope to get the phone. All the best. -
Kaustubh KatdareWell, I'm only talking about buying just one phone; and not buying multiple phones to sell them on eBay later. Most of the users are likely to be logged on the the desktop version of the site and I was thinking if logging in via an app would be a better option - because it's likely to work even when the web version goes down.

avii^if the mobile is added to your cart, then it doesn't matter.
