Streetmerchant: Best Buy CA False positive EVGA 3080

Created on 10 Oct 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: jef/streetmerchant

Description

Looks like the BB site loads initially to an In Stock button, but then loads the out of stock message.
Snatcher doesnt pick up on this, and only sends a false positive

Possible solution

Wait on page for longer?

Front end waiting for api call for stock - needs to add specified wait time if the page is going to be scraped.

Just wanted to add that this is happening for multiple products - I encountered the same issue this morning with PS5 and ASUS 3080 Strix. Looks like it is showing positive even if the PDP says "Sold Out"

3080 PDP: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-rog-strix-geforce-rtx-3080-10gb-gddr6x-video-card/14954116?intl=nosplash

PS5 PDP: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/playstation-5-console-online-only/14962185?intl=nosplash

Seems like it needs a 2-3 second delay.

I believe this was fixed by using the disabled add to cart button. @maxcroy1, have you gotten any more pings after pulling latest?

I updated last night and not getting any more false positives. Thanks!
