How to ensure that you get yourself a Xiaomi Mi3 in the next Flipkart sale

Honestly speaking, I didn't believe that even people who were determined to get themselves a Xiaomi Mi3 were not able to click the 'Buy Now' button fast enough when the Flipkart sale started every Tuesday. Not until I decided to try getting a Xiaomi Mi3 in my cart last week. I was on Flipkart's website on my laptop, and was using the Flipkart app too, for I had heard that it had better chances of getting the Mi3 in the cart. And of course, I failed. Like many others.

Seems like someone has listened to the plight of the geeks who are desperate to have the Mi3 as their next smartphone. Buyhatke, a popular price comparison website in India, has included a nifty new feature in its extension for Chrome - one that will automatically add the Xiaomi Mi3 to your Flipkart cart as soon as the sale begins. Going by Gaurav Dahake, CEO, Buyhatke.com, the Buy Now button will be automatically clicked within about 0.1 second, thus increasing your chances of bagging a Mi3 pretty brightly. You'll need to perform the following steps though:

  1. If you haven't already, register for the next Mi3 sale on Flipkart.
  2. Press the Get This Tool Now button on this page, in Chrome on your PC.
  3. A popup kinda thing will now appear, asking you whether you want to install the extension or not. Confirm the installation.
  4. Now click this link (still in Chrome on your PC) and tick the checkbox besides the "Add Xiaomi Mi3 automatically" text. Then click the Subscribe Now button.
  5. Now all you need to do is log in to Flipkart (on the same PC on which you installed the Chrome extension) about 5 minutes before the sale begins. ENsuring a decently fast internet connection won't hurt your chances.
  6. The extension will automatically open the Mi3 page in a new tab and add it to your cart when the sale starts. You can obviously try to manually add the Mi3 to your cart by keeping a Mi3 Flipkart page open in a separate tab before the sale begins.
  7. Once you (or your extension) have added the Mi3 to your cart, bask in the glory of being a proud Mi3 owner and wait for the phone to be delivered to you.

Share this story with your friends if they are planning to buy a Mi3 too. You can always ask them for a samosa treat when they are successful in bagging a Mi3 for themselves.
