There seems to be an issue with the shipping text for that USB item. Turn on --checkshipping and it will work.

Literally came here to post this exact issue! Does turning on --checkshipping really solve this issue? That would be a godsend. Gonna try it and see if I get better result. I have hope now!!!

For reference here is what I'm getting on the ASUS Tuf OC RTX 3070:

[DakkJaniels]

It was already able to parse the shipping language in there, and assumes it is free, like the message says, is there some issue with the screenshot you just posted?

[x-humanoidtyphoon-x]

I mean, only that it never bought anything. It just looped on evaluating offers.

I should also note that I have successfully tested the bot by completing three purchases prior to getting this message with the same settings I'm currently using, which is --delay=0.5 and no other additional terms.

And for reference, this is what my amazon_config.json contains:

{ "asin_groups": 1, "asin_list_1": ["B08L8KC1J7"], "reserve_min_1": 400, "reserve_max_1": 1000, "amazon_website": "smile.amazon.com" }

Also, before anything else, thank you SO much for responding!

[DakkJaniels]

Oh, yes, on that USB item, its not parsing the shipping language correctly, so it's not assuming it is free. I think for most of the stuff you would buy with the bot (GPUs, CPUs) it will parse the shipping language correctly, as your screenshot shows.

[x-humanoidtyphoon-x]

Alrighty. So my ray of hope is dwindling. I want to ask further why it might not have proceeded to add anything to the cart. Should I start a new thread since it seems like my issue is different from the OP?

[DakkJaniels]

I don't understand what you are asking about, the USB or the 3070?

[x-humanoidtyphoon-x]

Thanks for asking me to clarify. More than happy to! I am asking about the 3070.

I posted in reply to this thread only because the issue in the title of the thread appeared to be similar to mine and it did not seem at the time to be necessary to start a new thread if the issues happened to be one and the same. However, my issue has nothing to do with the USB stick that OP is asking about. Rather, mine is a distinct issue regarding the 3070 and the screenshot I posted.

[DakkJaniels]

Just noticed your edits... Did you look at the browser when it said what you showed in terminal? Did the product meet your price settings?

[x-humanoidtyphoon-x]

Actually, there was just a drop of 3070s that hit moments ago and I was able to observe the browser behavior. The flyout opened and presented the offer with the add to cart button visible. However it pretty instantly moved on without trying to add anything to the cart. The thing I noticed was that it said the item was used. Does this mean I would have had to have the --used term included for the bot to buy it, or because it showed in the offers flyout, does that mean it already met the criteria for the bot to buy it, but it just didn't?

[x-humanoidtyphoon-x]

Oh, and to answer your specific question about price; yes. The product showed for around $460, which fit neatly into my price specifications.

[DakkJaniels]

If you do not use the --used flag, and the item was used, it did not meet your criteria.

[x-humanoidtyphoon-x]

That makes it very clear. Thank you. I have added the --used flag and started the bot again. Here's hoping for another drop in the near future.
