The Story Behind Switch Sniper

Remember camping outside GameStop for the Wii? Refreshing Best Buy for a PS5? Yeah, we're not doing that again.

I'm Tim. When Nintendo announced the Switch 2, I knew the scalpers would be ready with their bots. But here's the thing - Target and Best Buy have the inventory data. They just don't show it online. So I built Switch Sniper to get that data and show you exactly which stores have stock, right now.

The numbers are insane: 500k+ people used this in the first month. 5 million page views. Why? Because it works. While everyone else is refreshing dead product pages, you're walking into a store that actually has inventory.

Here's the deal: The site is free. You can see every store, every restock, everything. But servers cost money and retailers keep trying to block me. For $5 (one time, not a subscription), you get email alerts when stores near you get stock. You support keeping this running. And you stop checking the site 50 times a day.

I'm not a corporation. I'm just a guy who was tired of losing to bots. Now we all win.

What's free:

  • • Inventory tracking across all stores (1 hour delay)
  • • Stock updates for Target & Best Buy
  • • See exactly which stores have inventory

Premium ($5 one-time):

  • • Real-time inventory data (no delay)
  • • Email alerts when inventory drops near you
  • • Be first to know when stock hits stores
  • • Support keeping the site running

No corporate speak, no BS - just a tool that actually works.
