What they did

A collector scheduled a Grok Bot "Pokémon deal finder" to scan eBay UK for auctions ending soon and Buy It Now listings, and to flag PSA 10 cards priced at least 20% under market.

How it went

One morning it alerted him to a matching auction, which he shared on X. He doesn't say whether he won it.

Worth knowing

  • Self-reported X post; it doesn't explain how the bot works out the market price.
  • The post doesn't say if he bought the card.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Every morning, search eBay UK for PSA 10 [set or Pokémon] listings: auctions ending in the next [24 hours] and Buy It Now. Compare each to recent sold prices and alert me only when one is at least 20% under market. Include the link, price, recent sold average and time left.

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
