It's great to see a couple of Jet Blacks popping up now, I just wonder how others are snapping them up even quicker. I mean, bloody hell...I'm up at 6am hitting refresh constantly, I have a fast internet connection, I have pushbullet....there just must be someone out there thats even quicker! I just get that feeling that someone else is buying it to sell on eBay for a profit (that's just my negative thoughts as I was unable to reserve it though!!!) ;)

It's probably idiots using disposable Apple IDs without 2FA.
 
Looks like the reservation site has gone down!
[doublepost=1474608634][/doublepost]can anyone else not see it?

my bad, i went to an old page from my history and thats why doh!
 
^ I've got the script setup for my store - I just don't know how to get the script into launcher. Anyone help?
 
This example setup found here - https://codetidy.com/9093/ is the exact setup I need. It's the correct models and the correct stores that I want checking.

So do I literally copy and paste this code (and change the access key) into python? When I press enter, it just says invalid syntax?

To check, this is actually Python? In the top bar, it says IDLE?

Copy the raw code and not the line numbers and character breaks

https://codetidy.com/paste/raw/9093

Also copy the code into a file and save it as something like script.py. Then from terminal go to the directory to where the file is saved and then type ' python script.py'

if you're on a mac paste the text into a text editor and save it as a .py file.

then in terminal run:

python /Users/Kris/Documents/iPhone.py

where the path is to wherever you saved the file......

I've got it running but it's not working. it keeps saying reservations are down (which they were when i set it up last night) but now it's back up i'm still getting the same message.
 
Thank you.

However, when I press enter, nothing happens. I just get the 3 little arrows?
Ive updated my previous post with a bit more info

Was able to snag an iPhone 7 at the last minute, will post pictures as well as results when testing iPhone 6 cases and accessories on the iPhone 7 (and vice-versa) later.

To clarify previous questions, I had ordered and paid online for in-store pickup (this is not the same as IUP reservation), and arrived 90 minutes later than my allotted time. The Specialist didn't even notice I was late, and handed me the boxed iPhone with my name quite literally labelled on the side. It looks like you can arrive late for pickup with no problems.

Any idea? It won't let me save as a .py file as shown in the screenshot in above post.

You're saving as File Type , 'Rich Text Format' (RTF)
Try changing that to Text - and then rename the .txt file from Finder. ?

I arrived 7 hours early for pickup - no problem. You may need to wait until they've sent you the confirmation text.

If you pay upfront they have to keep the phone for longer. On other threads they are saying as long as two weeks. You've paid for it so they can't sell it to someone else. If you've only reserved it and are planing on paying in store they don't need to hold it for very long and are within their rights to sell it to someone else if you don't turn up within a few hours of your reservation slot.

I'm getting this when launching the script. Is this normal? And how do I link to Pushbullet?

Traceback (most recent call last):

It's not an authorisation it's the full payment.



I returned a closed box 128gb 7+ in black at about 7.30/7.45 tonight ( I purchased 2 last night but only wanted one in the end). Thought it would have shown up tonight as doubt there was time for anyone in store to buy before closing. No sign as I was refreshing at 10pm to see if any JB's! Maybe it will up show up at 6am for reservation.

Even if it's closed box it won't get offered for sale, it will be opened to check and then go with used returns
