I'm running a script I wrote that refreshes every 20 seconds to check if a specific device becomes available and if so, it send me an email.



If anyone wants me to add them to the list just give me your email and zip code and the iPhone model you're looking for.

Nice find! Which carrier(s) did they have?

Hey sorry they only had Verizon and Sprint today... it's worth checking out in the mornings if you have time. I think they get shipments in at night. They were also saying you could pre-order them in store and then they'll e-mail you when your specified type comes in...

At the risk of helping someone else beat me to the phone I'm trying for (6+ 128 Silver AT&T), here's a cool python program I wrote to help people track down iPhone 6+s. Directions are all on the GitHub page. It only uses vanilla python (so you won't have install any additional plug-ins) and is only 100% functional on a Mac (due to the way sound events are initiated). It's command-line but easy to use, and runs locally so you don't have to deal with using up all of someone's bandwidth. Please give me any feedback you guys have.

Hey this is awesome, but I can't get it to work. I follow the instructions and get this error: "SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

I'm sure it's user error by me, but any tips on how to get it to work?

Can you send me the full stack trace? Also, which version of OS X are you on?

OK, it was user error by me. I was typing 'python ' and hitting enter before dragging in the run.py. I'm an idiot.

But once I inputted the store, model numbers and everything I now get this error:

Enter the models for which you'd like a LOUD ALERT.
Format is a comma-separated list of the 3-digit model short codes
(e.g. "AL2,AU2,AP2")

Thanks alot Besto
 
The 64GB Silver showed available for pickup just now. Went through the whole thing and when I did the final "place your order" it gave me an error, signed me out, then showed it wasn't available for pickup anymore. But, hey, showed availability at another Philly area store. One minute later, logged out of the site, log back in, not available anymore. Ugh.

This is fixed in that latest version. Sorry, messed up some pathing in cleaning up the file structure.
