(Re)seller here. I got one the old fashioned way, by pounding the refresh button. I actually am unaware of a bot you speak of... do you have an example?

The key to this hustle is to never tell your friends that you got one because their con of 'it's for my kids' is incessant.

Looking at some of the eBay sales data already a few have gone for over 600.

Yay for me!
