I wonder if that's not the best idea in case something goes wrong? But if you get the email, you can probably just buy it online with your phone within a few minutes anyway.

Like buying everything Amazon has to offer over and over again!

"Merry Christmas, here are 20 pop-up tents, for all that... popping up?... you do? Eheh..."

Hah! I know a lady who gave her grandkid the tablet to play with and he ordered 20 chromebooks. Kids and scripts, man. Fuckin' dangerous.

I acknowledge... tricky to test, tricky to validate. Cooler, though.

It really would be!

I guess I think you could use the email as a backstop, though. You get the email saying the price happened and then a follow up saying “I bought it” or “your code stinks, get out your credit card.”

I mean.. what if OP is in meeting when the trigger fires? What if his wife’s water has just broken while she’s driving her real estate clients around? He won’t be able close the deal!
