People are paying $500 for bots used to buy the latest Nike/Adidas/... limited edition sneakers. Or videocards a few years ago (for crypto mining).

It's a whole industry.

> If we consider a user base of ~175 users, and a minimum bot price of 200 euros (175 users x 200 euros), then the bot developers made at least 35K euros (~$37K USD) in initial bot sales.
