Thank you to everyone that has posted their tips, atb comments and shared their experiences. I want to return the favour by sharing my tips that helped me get the nano speedy and multi khaki. This is a bit of a read but I hope it helps those new to the thread.
Tip 1 - Research
I’m based in the UK, but I believe all European stock is the same as all items ultimately ship from France. I searched through the UK and EU threads specifically for search terms such as “multi”, “mpa”, “nano”, “nano speedy” etc to see what days and times these items became available. I learnt that some items appear more frequently (sometimes even everyday), whereas others appear once a week, or go through peaks and troughs of availability. The multi PA was extremely scarce, it mainly come in stock between Wednesday to Friday, in the afternoon (there were some variance on the times like early morning). Nano Speedy was more available in March but in April it was normally a Wednesday or Thursday afternoon. Basically through this research I tried to find the best times to stalk. Side note: I also read “what are you stalking today” and “Browser Extensions/Add ons - Auto refresh” for general tips/patterns.
Tip 2 - Automate
The most helpful tip is having an auto refresh app/extension installed in your browser. I started with Super Auto Refresh in Chrome, but it wasn’t helpful to me because I’m wfh with two monitors, I couldn’t stare at my personal laptop all day looking for ATB. So I tried Auto Refresh in Chrome which allows you to get an alert when you lose or find text however this feature did not work for me. So I moved onto Check for Change (C4C) in Firefox and this actually worked to alert me when the text in the page changed - special credit to ChanelCanuck that mentioned this in one of the above threads. In Firefox I highlighted ‘Call for Alternatives’, clicked on the C4C icon and set it to refresh every 5 seconds. One thing I must add is that Check for Change is a bit buggy, by that I mean it gives some false alerts roughly once every two hours when the page fails to load (I can live with this because it means the alert actually works), when this happened I would close and reopen Firefox, the page would load and I would start Check for Change again. I also changed my laptop power/battery options to never go to sleep while I was stalking. Side Note: I used Check for Change on the actual product page not wish list, if you use it on the wish list you will get false alerts because you have to click on the product each time the page loads to see the availability - I hope that makes sense.
I wish everyone the best of luck
