RookieBlue7 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've actually written Nike and requested they close my Nike account and cease all correspondence immediately via email, snail mail, phone, etc. I'm done with them. The release was a joke, bots snatched the majority up, and the ones that are supposed to release Friday in stores are already sold out. There were 200 released, there are at least 75 on eBay. Bots just like a Jordan release. These were extremely limited unlike Jordan's though. I've bought their equipment since they started selling balls in 1999 and the clubs in 02' but this was a the last straw for me.

How about a lottery based system verified through a credit card? Charge a buck then refund it. I'd have offered it to those who first posted on WRX they'd want one and have been continually posting in the 120+ page thread as well as being active posting in the twitter and Facebook campaigns that stemmed from WRX and is the reason this putter is released first. At least half of them, as over 900 people committed to buying, some have been saving money since it was first talked about over a year ago, etc. That thread and those of us that kept it alive and the twitter campaign alive that stemmed from that is why they're releasing that putter. By my count on there about 15-20 people there got one. 2 got theirs free. But yeah, that'd have been how is have handled the initial release.

RookieBlue7 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 For the dummy of the bunch can you give a cliff notes version of how bots operate and work? Basically, the sneakerheads (I talked to a buddy that collects jordans, he has over 200 pair and asked him about it after all this went down. He has a bot he sometimes runs when he's not able to go the night before the release and pick his Jordans up from his connection at the shoe store that gets every Jordan release) have code written that runs in their browser, such as Google's chrome that run all the time. These bots are constantly searching websites, twitter, etc for a ping of a keyword or term (twitter being the most common as that is where Nike tweets all of their links when items go live usually a few minutes before they go live so it directs you to the purchase link and has a countdown timer). The way they work is once they get a ping, it clicks the link virtually, logs in and adds the item to the cart, reserving it all faster than a human can click. From there there are a few options in how they set it up. You can set it up to autocomplete all forms and complete the purchase and payment or you can set it up where it sends you an immediate notification where you go in and complete the purchase. Nike's site is notorious for this happening because of how it, specifically, is set up. You get in virtual line, so as not to overload and crash their servers, to complete the payment. The whole time, their site is setup so that as long as it's been added to the cart, it is your item in reserve while you wait in virtual line to check out (my step son wanted the latest Teal Retro 4 Jordans for his birthday is how I know this because I was able to get them but the quantities aren't nearly as limited as this was, 215 were released on Nike.com of these putters.). Once it's your turn to pay, your cart comes up and you pay. The end, you've made the purchase and the item is yours. Your item is held in your cart for 30 minutes-1 hour until you complete the process or it times out and is released to the next person. People sell these bots on blackmarket sites (which I found a few of today researching them) and they'll sell you a bot for anywhere from $10-$50 depending on the site it's for and all the functions it needs to do. So these bots are running, scouring the internet and twitter looking for links of new releases to purchase. They hold items in carts and either complete the payment automatically or the person gets on after getting a notification their item is reserved and pay for it. I didn't know they existed until I talked to the sneakerfreak friend. From there I went digging then contacted my buddy that works at Google and he explained it more in depth but still dumbed down enough for me to understand it. Oh, and the "retailers" that are getting them to sell on Friday? They're sold out already... And aren't supposed to be on sale till Friday. I called all of them to ask what time they'd go on sale.
