I've been having trouble navigating through their massive sea of inventory these days >< They seem to add it pretty early now, but make it strange timing to purchase?

i'm currently stalking the pre-owned section right now and honestly, i have no idea how they do this anymore lol. it's super weird to see things be listed but with no price and then just have to constantly refresh to update to see if it's finally available and just not know if it'll ever be updated. normally pre-owned stuff would be updated within the next 10-20 mins of being listed from what i remember previously but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore (at least not right now). it's currently 4am where i live too right now and im honestly debating if i should just keep trying or just go to bed lmao edit: yeah idk i just checked again and a bunch of the preowned stuff they had listed just disappeared what a disappointment. glad i chose to just sleep. it’s 8am here so i guess it’s back to bed for me lmao.
No idea really whether this is a permanent change or temporary. It's good for me because I can check them just before work instead of during work.
In the last few days it was very chaotic, more than a thousand of figures just appeared then disappeared later during the day without getting available. It seems they have normalized it a bit now. But it seems to me that the new items are now more mixed in with the older ones, the sorting is weird.
Fortunately https://buyfriend.moe and the preowned browser/notifier Android app still works just as before.
What's the delay on that site you link from when a item gets posted to when you get notified?
yeah, I preferred the previous arrangement since I only needed to check in at a specific timing every day, but now I’ll have to keep refreshing throughout the day since something I want is listed but not available for purchase yet :(
Is that what is happening? Ive been thinking if there was no price it had already sold. 😬
previously if they were sold the listing didn’t stay up for 6 hours :/ I’ve been refreshing one figure on and off since the moment she appeared and still “no item found” 😭
Oh thats really frustrating.
Seems like instead of taking off price and/or the figure they're listing it as 'order closed' now.
I’ve clicked on a few and you could still add them to the cart? It’s a whole mess
The past couple of days have been weird. They wiped out the whole pre-owned section, then uploaded hundreds of pages of figures, some became live to order, some vanished again without every being purchase-able. Today seems more normal but they have definitely started their daily updates earlier (by quite a few hours) this week.
Yes! It's so strange, starting from like page 50, they're all unavailable but are more popular figures.
