No reason to write one. Google "sneaker bots". There are whole communities on Discord.
The sad thing is that it would be so easy for the retailers to stop the bots (seriously, just put a captcha in the checkout process), but they won't do it because why would they? Why wouldn't they want to sell out instantly and take the money to the bank?
- elindbe2 6y agoThat doesn't make much sense to me. The purpose black friday sales for companies seems to be 1.) to drive customers to their store where they will also buy non-sale items and 2.) to build brand image and name recognition with potential customers. Neither of these objectives are met by selling to scalpers.
