    Who owns the Bot?

    Who is paying for the ammo?

    Where is it being stored?

    Who is reselling?

      Yes, you and I can purchase bots to make purchases for us. Most common are airline tickets, hotel rooms and as stated in the other thread, sneakers. Those are called sneaker bots. Buy a bot, you can place your system integrity into questions and some sites, states, and other local laws have outlawed or banned bots. Not all sites will allow or support bots for purchasing.

        What makes you think you are the fastest to react to alerts? 2 minutes is amateur hour.

            I think all in all many folks are going to get stuck with a lot of over priced ammo.

            Folks buying more than the few boxes they need for home defense are way late to the party.

              Good reason not to pay over retail. Let the get stuck with it.

                i am not a bot, but i have succeeded in ordering from targetsports. i've also failed when i was too slow. 2 mins seems about right from the time the alert wakes me up at 5am to opening the laptop and smash all the buttons. it helps if they have your card# of file so you don't have to type it in.

                also keep in mind that sending out thousands of text messages could take several minutes, even using an automated system, so depending where you are in the queue, some people could have a couple mins head start on you.

                  Now is not the time to buy online - make stopping into physical stores part of your weekly routine.

                        This ^ exactly. At this point, online is for people who don't have stores they can easily visit. Unfortunately Wallyworld is gone from our radar.

                          there are enough real people hammering sites that the claim of bots is dubious

                            bots...welcome to the world of concert ticket sales. You won't get an good seat at face value due to those vultures. Only the wealthy can afford the first row for any highly popular artist. And the artist doesn't get the money, the scalper does as a reward for setting up servers that exclude real fans from a chance to get a good ticket at face value.

                              Are you sure they are just SOFTWARE bots?!? This may be just leading up to the robot revolution...
