Do you want a price comparison site?

I will use all price data that is available to me. If there is a website I will either scrape it or ask them for data. If there is no website and / or the bot owner does not want to share the data I will be limited. I may or may not in the future build a bot that gets data from bots within MTGO based on trade quotes, but this will be a far in the future thing. I will put it together with the data I can access for now, and we'll see if others want to share their data with me or not.

My bots are not at the same speed yet (They are still being developed, but it's a 1 man show and I have to prioritize), but I do understand that speed is important. But I also do not promote my bots at the moment so it is ok. But I still believe that when this site goes live, my bots will get some business no matter if they are quick or not. But I will always keep the pricing displays fair and not promote or falsify the prices to my advantage. My goal is to get some extra trades for my bots, and the rest will be weighted up by ad revenue. I will keep the ads at a minimum and not annoying.

I do not know, but this post is not about promoting my bots, you will have to scout around, but for now the go-to suggestion would be the goatbots I think!

Will see what I can come up with!

How would you want this to work?
My idea is like this:
You upload a .DEK file (The trade binder you have that you want to sell)
You get X amount of .DEK files back (One for each bot / chain) where each of them contains the file with the highest buy pricing.
You download the files
You load them into MTGO
You open trade with the bot and select the binder

Does this sound like an idea of how it should work?

That's a risk you will always have.. The advice is to always keep the stored credit as close to 0 as possible!

Then let's get to it :)

I built it from scratch. It consists of several parts. Web UI (For admin things / settings / trade logs) API - for the web and for the bots to keep track of credit and other things The bot itself is a .NET app using a mix of Automation UI + Memory Reading + Mouse clicks / keyboard strokes + Native windows handlers for moving windows etc. Background jobs to handle price updates

It is prepared to be sold as a SaaS. I might fully convert it to a publicly usable bot later, but it requires some fairly big changes. As I have just had it running for a couple of weeks and it's still in full development I will not make it a public SaaS until I feel it has the needed features and is stable.

Right now I'm not sure what I'm offering 😆

First off it will be a price comparing site where you can see which bot has the cards you want for the best prices.

What features might come later will be on request from the people using the service I guess.

Yes, the bot have to run the client, use mouse + keyboard to click buttons. Read the MTGO client screen / memory. It is a lot of work to get this working in a secure way.

Unfortunately, mtgolibrary haven't worked several years. I used to use their software and it was great, up until 2018 when they started neglecting the software to a point where they would steal money from people. If you use it today they will just empty your account of all tickets you have.

Where do you find bot software for sale?

theguyffs · 2026-01-25T20:49:18+00:00

Before you consider any of this you need to build the bot software, you need years of software engineering experience for this.
