For the people who have stood in line, I had a question for you. I've heard Apple employees survey the line a little bit before the store opens. How soon before store opening do Apple employees survey the line? My store opens at 10 but I also have an appointment tomorrow at 10. If they came out 30 minutes before opening, I would still be able to make the reservation to pick up later and still get to my appointment on time.

I did it today and they came out a half hour before the store opened.
 
Can you pay full price for Verizon phone at target?

How often does idevicetracker update its website regarding inventory availability?
 
iphone 6+ 64 gb space grey showed in dallas from few seconds and less than 10 sec it was gone ! couldnt even catch it :S

Leave the phone in your cart then update the pickup when you see a slot open up at a particular store. That's my plan. #

Going tip be in NYC on business this weekend and Monday. Are their inventories any better?

The Apple Store in SoHo has been fully stocked online almost every day this week, but it seems to be running dry now. The 5th Ave store is usually pretty good too. Once again, not so much today.
 
Also I just got a different estimated ship time for the 6+ 64gb SG. It was priorly 3-4 weeks this morning and is now 7-10 days on apple.
 
Gah, I had to go out for a while and missed the model I wanted! It was even at the closest store, and was available for 20 minutes... Ugh.

How do you know it was available for 20 minutes? I have tried checking out on 3 different ones from stores within an hour to me in the past 30 minutes and have struck out at checkout each time.
 
Just scored one from Target after a week of searching!!!! 4 of the 5 local targets had 6+ in stock. Some stores had all three colors.

Looking more closely at my script logs, it started being available at 2:08 and then was gone by 2:23 (more like 15 minutes, I suppose). This might have just been a quick blip and then slow-to-update inventory server caching, but nevertheless, I'm bummed I missed it.

Thanks for the info. I wish one would sit for just 3 minutes in my area. I am so frustrated at coming so close for so many days and coming up empty handed.

its the second time it happens to me too :(:( going to the stores tomorrow morning fingers crossed!
 
I've had multiple scripts (checking every 60 seconds) and alert systems running for 5 days without any availability of the model I want during that time (Verizon 64 or 128 Space Gray 6+). I suppose it is possible, but I find it really hard to believe the Apple stores in my area did not receive any of those at all this whole week. It makes me think they are given priority to walk in customers at beginning of day and are all getting sold. I'll test this hypothesis tomorrow by going there early to see if any are even available. Hopefully I can get one. I'll report back if I do.
 
btw all the sites are not working !! I registered in all of them and none send me 1 single e-mail for 2 nights and days now !

That's why the only thing I rely on is my python script, but it's weakness is that I have to be at home or at least near my computer when it is connected to the internet (which is why I'm working on making a web app out of it so I can carry it with me everywhere, though in all fairness, I'm more likely to be able to complete the transaction with my computer anyway, so I don't know how useful mobile access would be to me).
 
I am done

OK Ladies and Gents. I have officially given up on getting a plus.

I have tried almost non stop for 6 days no avail so I am bowing out.
Good luck to the rest of you.
