A few weeks ago, a few friends and I (college students from UT) noticed scalpers scamming people for the Xbox and PS5 and decided that we had to do something to help solve the problem. We had made a chrome extension called OctoShop that lets everyone set back in stock notifications on their computer (and automatically compare prices on all sites so you can get the best price).
After posting on reddit (Post 1, Post 2) we now have over 80,000 people who are using the extension and have already helped thousands secure things like the Xbox, PS5, and PC parts without succumbing to the scalpers.
Now we want to give back to everyone that supported the mission. We got an Xbox Series S from Target using our extension and want to give it away to you guys. To enter, just upvote the post AND drop a comment on this post and I will randomly pick and announce the winner in 24 hours. Based on where you live, I will try my best to ship it to you by Christmas.
EDIT) Btw if anyone was interested - the extension isn't just for people who want back in stock notifs. We also added something for price comparisons so it will automatically tell you if there's a better price in the background when you are just shopping regularly for anything online. Honey + OctoShop = double the savings? hopefully
