High demand item never in stock? Here’s how to get it. December 31, 2008

I’ve been trying to find a Wii Fit for a while now. Every time I stop by Best Buy or Target or wherever, they are always out of stock. A few days ago, I checked on Amazon only to find they too were out of stock. However, I noticed Amazon had a link that read, “Send me a text message when this item is available”. What the heck – I entered my phone number. Yesterday, I received a text message at 2:30PM from Amazon letting me know that a few Wii Fit’s were going to be available starting at 3PM. Better than that, the message said, “reply with ‘buyfit’ to purchase one”. So I did. About 30 seconds later, I received another text message with the total plus shipping and it asked for another reply message for final confirmation. I replied. It worked! It used the credit card I have associated with one click checkout and processed the order.
Simple, effective, time saving. This is an awesome feature!
