Fast Internet: Speed matters. If possible, use a wired connection for the least latency.
Join Waiting Rooms Early: Some sites might use virtual waiting rooms. Join these as early as possible.
Refresh Strategically: Don't spam the refresh button; instead, wait a few seconds between refreshes to not get flagged as a bot.
Check Social Media: Retailers might update sale times or announce stock through X posts or other social media.
Be Patient: Stock might appear sold out but could get restocked as orders are canceled or payments fail. Keep trying!
