Get alerted when an item is back in stock and on sale
@atibhi_a lists a cardigan among the deals Instinct found, saying it kept track of the item and nudged them when it was back in stock and on sale. The post gives no shop, price or alert details, so this page sets out how to ask for that watch and what to check before buying.
What you can get
- Prepare
The exact product link, size and colour you want
- Ask and review
Pick one exact listing: copy the product page link and note the size, colour and the full price you see today.
- Check the result
A nudge with the product link, the size or colour in stock and the current price compared with your limit. Any purchase remains your own decision.
The source case
@atibhi_a lists five deals they credit to Instinct. The fifth is a cardigan: by their account the agent kept track of it and nudged them once it had restocked and gone on sale. The post does not name the retailer, the brand, the price or the discount. It also does not say how the alert arrived or how long the watch lasted, and it never says the author bought the cardigan.

What you need
You supply
- The exact product link, size and colour you want
- The retailer you trust to buy from and your price limit
- Your own approval before any basket, account sign-up or purchase
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Pick one exact listing: copy the product page link and note the size, colour and the full price you see today.
- Set two separate conditions, restocked in your size and priced below a limit you name, so a full-price restock is not reported as a deal.
- Ask for the nudge to include the link, the in-stock size, the current and original price, and the sale-item return terms.
- When the nudge arrives, open the retailer's own page yourself and confirm the size, the price in your basket and the delivery cost before paying.
- Check that the shop is the retailer you named and not a reseller or a look-alike site offering the same item.
- Once you buy or give up on the item, cancel the watch so you stop getting nudges.
What the post reports
The cardigan comes up at the end of a list @atibhi_a titles "Some good deals I've gotten because of @instinct". The other entries are an app download offer for a free cupcake, perks tied to a bank account, a bill analysis that recommended a cheaper plan, and half-price restaurant offers in London. For the cardigan, the author writes that the agent kept track of the item and nudged them when it returned and was discounted.
That is the whole account. It does not say which shop sold the cardigan, how far the price fell, whether the author gave a size or a price limit, or whether they went on to buy it.
Setting conditions that mean something
A restock alert is only useful if it matches what you would actually buy. Retailers often restock one size or colour at a time, so name the exact variant and keep the product link rather than a description. Treat "on sale" as a number: give a price limit, because a small markdown or a sale that excludes your size is easy to report as good news.
Sale terms vary by retailer. Some shops treat discounted items as final sale or shorten the return window, and in the UK the statutory right to cancel most online orders within 14 days generally still applies to sale items. Check the retailer's own policy before you pay.
Before you pay
When a nudge arrives, go to the retailer's site yourself and check the price in the basket, including delivery, since the shelf price and the checkout total can differ. Popular restocks can sell out within hours, which is a reason to decide your limit in advance rather than a reason to let anyone buy on your behalf without your approval.
Open Instinct to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
- The post names no retailer, brand, price, discount or date, and shows no screenshot of the nudge.
- It does not say how Instinct checked stock, how often, or through which channel the nudge arrived.
- The cardigan is one line in a list of five deals; the author does not say they bought it.
- This is an attributed community report, not reproduced by this guide. The suggested workflow and checks are editorial guidance, not a recovered conversation or guaranteed product capability.
Editorial, not from the source
- The nudge says the item has restocked but your size shows sold out
- Restocks are often partial. Confirm the watch names the exact size and colour, and check the variant on the retailer's page before acting.
- The sale price is lower in the alert than in your basket
- Look for excluded sizes, codes that need an account, or delivery charges, and compare the full checkout total against your price limit.
- The alert links to a shop you did not name
- Do not buy from it until you have confirmed it is the retailer you chose or a seller you trust; look-alike sites copy product pages.
Common questions
Can Instinct tell me when an item is back in stock?
One user reports that it kept track of a cardigan they wanted and nudged them when it restocked and went on sale. The post does not show how it checked or how the nudge arrived, and this guide has not reproduced it.
Did the author buy the cardigan?
The post does not say. It lists the cardigan alert as one of five deals but gives no price, retailer or purchase.
Should I let an agent buy the item as soon as it restocks?
This guide suggests keeping the purchase as your own step: confirm the size, the total price and the return terms on the retailer's page first, and approve any basket or payment yourself.
