It must be pretty simple to create given all the ebay sniper programs and the like which are out there available and that I guess would operate in a similar fashion (well, simple if you know about such things, which I dont).

Please PM me with info on bots, general mondo tips, insider knowledge and forthcoming releases. thanks :clap:

These threads are awesome. There is obviously no bots. It's all just luck...right, Drew?

He gets busy with other things, but I'm sure will be back periodically to join the fray. He's done his time here...

I first became aware of their existence during the HP's firesale. When I mentioned them in a post, quite sometime ago, frickin' codeblue kept saying I was being paranoid. Maybe *he* was the one being paranoid? :wink:
The greatest trick the flipper ever pulled was convincing the world bots didn't exist

See the thing is if someone were to write a bot for you guys, they'd either have to be extremely magnanimous, or they'd have to feel that the money they got selling a bot to people would exceed the money they'd lose from additional competition on release drops. This alone would make it more than most people would be willing to pay, even if it technically made sense economically. Also when a website just goes to hell like a few of them do, there's certainly some marginal utility that can be had from not needing the human computer interaction to get through the page flow, but ultimately one is still beholden to the remote server gods to actually transmit and receive the necessary data.

This is the only bot I own. I thought it was good for Mondo drops.
