“The way that you do it is you can just do the nine, nine, nine trick. And what that is, is you go to that person's that, that competitor, you go to their page, you type in that you want to order 999 units. You can't say a thousand. It's gotta be 999. You do that. Then, and let's say you do this at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. You go ahead and you go, okay, I want to order 999 units. You add it to your cart. It's going to say either that, yes, they have 999 units, or most of the time, it's going to say there's only 350 in stock. You come back the next day at 12 o'clock, same exact time, you do the exact same thing, and it's going to say they've got 325 units. So now you know that they've got 25 units that they sold in a day.”
