I was literally spamming my mouse where "buy now" option would appear and it just showed me notify me > out of stock instantly, and yeah i am using 100Mbps connection

    This is pure bull**it i got the Redmi Note 5 Pro in cart on both mi.com and flipkart and at the time of select address it showed me a notification that its out of stock. After which i browsed ebay and olx they are full of ads for Redmi Note 5 Pro i don't understand why Xiaomi is not taking any action on these re-sellers genuine buyer's are not getting the product some f**ls who don't even want the phone are buying it and making 2-3k profit on it.

    Dont understand whats this flashsale bul**hit when its only motive is to make re-sellers some money.

        I tried two times to buy one of this in just 5-10 secs but in last moment, it was "out of order" in Flipkart. Then how Xiaomi claim this ? I think Xiaomi India got mad and making us fooling.

            Another routine BS by Xiaomi and Flipcart. Even more BS than their *pay to avoid* intrusive ads over their devices.

                      This is false.. I was trying to buy it.. they had set a timer indicating the time left for flash sale. As soon as timer got over it started showing next sale in 5days.
                      Cheap Marketing gimmick by seller and mi.

                        Ah here they are once again boasting about the sales. In the Mi website after 2 minutes of sales, the RN5 Pro was out of stock..did you really put 50 or 100 mobiles for sale?

                              That so true Fake sale Gone in .60 seconds

                                Upon clicking "Buy Now" immediately on Flipkart, I see "Out of Stock" sign, then it showed in Cart... thereafter while I was selecting Shipping Address, again cart got empty. So, if an immediate click has no gains, how can they claim 3 minute duration? Within same minute, I simultaneously tried on MI.COM/IN, but there too, it showed animation for "You are in Que" and then showed "Sold-out" notification.

                                Amazon site does the Flash Sale in more genuine and systematic way than Flipkart and MI.COM, their claims are mostly hyped & made-up
