The author shares how they utilized Fable (an AI tool with robust research capabilities) and Sol agents for in-depth analysis, successfully sourcing a brand-new, full-set Hermès Birkin 30 (Togo leather) by scouting the entire internet for the best market opportunity.
Beyond AI assistance, the operation involved clever offline intelligence gathering: the author used "external informants" (the girlfriend's sister) and took his girlfriend to an Hermès store in Florence to get on a fake waitlist, successfully extracting her specific preferences for color, size, and hardware.
