Hi: I've been watching the outlet for a T430/530 for awhile. It's a fast-moving world over there. Items appear and are gone in a flash. Any tips from Outlet users?
On the Lenovo forum, a poster suggests re-sellers are using scripts to buy computers the moment they appear (see below). I haven't seen this strategy mentioned on this forum. Can any savvy members comment on this?

>People have noticed that it appears that some people are using macros/scripts that can add machines to carts instantly when machines appear.
If the owner of the script doesnt complete the checkout within 15mins the script simply re-adds the machines after they time out. Other times the script keeps readding the same machine for days but never checks out.
Dell has addressed these issues on their outlet site by making people add a "capchka" to add a machine to their cart. Lenovo should do the same to resolve this issue.
Another example: Recently Lenovo added 400+ Yoga 11s's to the outlet and over a few days someone set their script to keep re-adding all of them to their cart making it difficult for people to purchase these...>
