How to Successfully Purchase Items in Online Limited Releases?

I've seen a lot of posts about this sort of thing on here.

I am trying to get some of the girls clothes from the upcoming H&M x Balmain release. I will be using just a regular laptop and average internet.

Do I even have a chance? How long do these things actually take to sell out? Is it instantaneous?

What are the odds of someone getting more than one item, and what is the best way to try to do this? Order one item and check out, order next item and check out? Or put multiple items in the same cart?

Which items typically sell out first, cheap or expensive? If I want a $50 t shirt and $300 pants which one should I go for?

Any other tips?

Thanks

so I looked through this stuff, seriously gaudy looking. The only pants I saw in that price range were $399, you should just get your chick those thigh high suede boots instead of "biker" leathers with fucking gold hardware.

And I hope you're not seriously going to get a $50 tshirt that says Balmain, I'll print you one that looks exactly like it for half the price

While I'm don't condone buying anything from that collection, to best increase your chances of getting stuff you can:

Find out what time the stuff drops

Make a priority list of things you want, try to get whats at the top of the list first

Make sure your internet connection is good

Have Ur card info ready to copy and paste.

If the site is too slow or it crashes try to buy on your phone.

Idk anything about H&M releases or if their site can handle any traffic tho. Demand might be high cuz all the basics want to say they have Balmain bikers, but I can't image their stock is super low. Good luck.

If you're computer savvy or want to spend a little bit of money to guarantee you get these items, you can buy and install a bot. How that works is you put in the items you want (quantity, size, and payment information) and at the time of the release it instantly queues it to your cart and pays for it. This what most people use today and is especially used in the sneaker community. It's frowned upon by others, but only envy as people with bots seem to always strike out with limited released items.
