Bot for buying things on websites, to give non-scalpers a fighting chance. Currently only works with Best Buy.
Use latest versions of each for best results.
Copy the contents of blank_config.ini
and save it in a new file, config.ini
, in the the bought_bot directory. Fill in the form in config.ini
, and be sure you have saved a credit card in your account details online.

live = True
if you want the bot to actually try purchasing something. To perform a dry run (do everything except purchase), leave this field blank.
Running the program:
# from source
python -m bought_bot

bought_bot
Sometimes Best Buy will randomly prompt the user for SMS 2FA. Not entirely sure why this happens, but bypassing this is not yet supported.
