Hiya Ladies! I am a newbie here. Please educate me, what is this stalking that I keep hearing about..Thanks Shelley

When someone puts something on their cart (stocks an item), and it is something that is quite coveted by many people, they stalk the item by constantly refreshing the page on their computer, just waiting for the time when it goes live and the Buy Now button can be clicked.

HTH explain it a bit.

pretty much what mary said. When you look at the calendar each item has a specific stock time. That means you can look but you can't touch until that time. lol. For many sellers their items are coveted and loved (for good reason) so the millisecond they go for sale they sell out. That happens because one lucky hyena clicked buy it now before any one else at the time the item stocks.

There's a method and a madness to stalking including pressing f5 to refresh, turning the pictures off in your browser and asking for stalking help. It all adds to the fun of HC.

Oh and welcome!
