Context and Background

The 30th Anniversary PlayStation 5 Pro bundle cost $999 in stores. However, as often happens during such events, it sold out instantly. After it sold out, the resell prices shot up to between $3000 to $3500!

Why did people want the bundle so badly? A few reasons:

• It had special performance upgrades and new features

• The design on the console celebrated 30 years of PlayStation

• It was a collector's item since not many were made

• Gamers and collectors desire limited-edition consoles

Economy 101 says that when supply is low and demand is high, people are willing to pay a premium for the articles. This bundle was no exception, with resale prices reaching 300+% of the original price.

The Challenge

Trying to buy popular limited edition items like the PS5 Pro bundle is really hard. They sell out extremely fast when launched. Normal shoppers usually can't checkout fast enough before stock runs out.

Showing up on time and having an above-average connection speed is a good start, but it's no guarantee. Even if you're fast, you're competing with thousands of others trying to check out at the same time.

So, how did our customers grab over $100,000 worth of these bundles? The answer is simple: proxies.

Hype Proxies' Solution

Hype Proxies customers utilized various e-commerce bots for Target, Walmart, Bestbuy, and PlayStation Store to purchase the limited edition bundle on 10/10/2024 before it sold out within seconds.

More specifically, the products used were:

• Sneaker Proxies

  → Sneaker proxies are lightning-fast proxies (up to 10gbps) used to purchase multiple limited items from retailers and bypass quantity restrictions.
  
  

• ISP Proxies

  → ISP Proxies offer the speed and reliability of datacenter proxies and also a high degree of anonymity and geo-targeting thanks to their residential IP addresses.
  
  

• Sneaker Servers

  → Sneaker servers function like sneaker proxies but go further by allowing you to run your software directly on them.

By combining our lightning-fast proxies/servers with some automation software, our clients managed to beat manual users on time, securing over $100,000 worth of these bundles.
