Welp, got the notification that the diver 2 was in stock this morning, but I wasn't at a computer and had to use my phone.

About halfway through the order the language changed back to Greek for some reason, and I had no idea if I had actually ordered the correct configuration for the billet box. So, I busted out GrooveIP and called Atmistique. I'm not sure if I actually talked to Konstantinos, but it sure sounded like him. Whoever it was, his English was very good and he was very nice. Got my order straightened out.

Anyway, for those who didn't get the notification, they are still in stock! Hurry!

I have a trick for those Saturday sales, a way to avoid hitting F5 every 3 seconds. You still have to stay at your computer, but you no longer need to repeatedly hit F5 to see when the new inventory is posted and add a BB to the cart. This should also have the added benefit of reducing overall data traffic to the BB site, I believe.

I use Chrome Page Monitor. I set it to monitor the page of the BB model I want, set the refresh time to the minimum (5 seconds), and have it provide both visual and audio notification. As soon as the page changes, it chimes and flashes a warning on your screen.

This way, you have it essentially pinging the site instead of manually hitting the F5 key over and over. The impact on the website is zero, if not reduced traffic, as it is just pinging for changes as opposed to a full refresh when you hit F5, and you can sit back and wait for when it will be available.

This helped me snag a Piebald this weekend on my first attempt. (sorry!)

Hey Kat...is that a Chrome Plug-in?

Is there a mobile version of this plugin you speak of?

I don't know, sorry.

Edit: spoke too soon, there seems to be a version for Chrome for Android as well. There's also Webpage Update Detector. Both get mixed reviews.

Not sure if either of these will work. Chrome Page Monitor worked perfectly on my MacBook.

I have an unrelated question. Has anyone's BB seized up, in the closed position, on them? I can't open mine now, to change the batteries. I've noticed it getting tighter and tighter recently, but didn't think it would go THIS far.

It's probably me because I can break stuff with the best. But I'm not sure WHAT to do now. If anyone has any experience like this, I'd appreciate the assistance.

Thanks.
