Bots, so many bots
The idlers have been dusted off and are joining the KS-A bot army 🫡
Why do you try to checkout when there is no stock? of course its gonna fail.....
This; and spamming a POST request isn’t going to go in your favour.
Just check the stock first with the availabilities GET.
^ you flooding the OVH API, at some point you might get banned or your API keys revoked at least.
That is GET request, just lazy to change the logging text
Do we still think the KS-A is the chase it once was? After seeing some of the recent lottery hits or even the base LE-B
The single drive and 100mbit port is somewhat limiting in comparison
Will that stop be trying to get one? Nope
I managed to buy a KS-LE-B (NVME) and KS-LE-E (SATA) in GRA, but my KS-LE-B (RBX) was cancelled last night. No bots or scripts, I guess I was just lucky with the timing. No upgrade but they're still good machines.
Realistically I think OVH need to have it so Flash-Sale/Black Friday servers cannot be ordered through the API, or limit them to 1/customer. There is almost no point in even updating the website with them if bots/scripts can make bulk purchase orders for them before they even hit the website.
There is a bloody difference, for pulling a static json file, that is very likely heavily cached and a GET request to that does jackshit, OVH could not care less.
But you hitting the order API over and over again........... even if its a GET request.
Still could be considered abusive behaviour.
First of all, the order endpoint is only called every 2-3 hours for preparing cart
Before checkout, I'm checking the stock first then do the checkout (the cart is already prepared so).
Edit: forgot mention
I agree with that. Eco series not with API.
The flash sales are presumably to clear out stock so why would they limit it to 1 per customer or not be able to order via api? Makes no sense at all from a business perspective
Different story with the KS-A I just think that’s 90% a marketing ploy with very very limited stock
The obvious solution is to set the prices high enough that it's not worth scalping and sniping. If your deal is sold out before it hits the website you're selling it too cheap.
Looking for KS-LE-B with nvme
I have EU account.
Please PM
Hi all. I'm new. I would be interested in a Kimsufi Flash sales version server located in Europe. Thanks.

Hello! I'm brand new to this forum and pretty new to VPSes and servers in general. I'd LOVE to get a KS-LE-B or KS-LE-C in Europe, France or Germany. If anyone is interesting in selling let me know please.
@allthemtings is selling a KS LE B
Yes, I messaged him. However, I dont have much faith in being ablet to get it since my account is new
Do you know what the expected "supportLevel" under GET /dedicated/server/{serviceName} for a flash sale server is supposed to be?
Most are going to keep these dedicated and those who are going to sell them aren't going to do so cheaply. If you want it, you will definitely have to make a good offer as a newbie I think.
How are things done? The offered price is the 1st month subscription plus the installation fee? Or which price is being offered?
Shouldn't it be what level of support you chose (and paid for)?
You should also follow: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/199427/ovh-server-transfer-requests-thread#latest, admins are discussing bidding rules. I think selling via DM has no limits.
I'd ignore this parameter, every server is always set to 'pro' (or the ones I've had).
Well, I don't work for OVH so I should not give a single fuck.
However, cheap deals are needed, so would be a shitfest if OVH would stop doing these.
