Partial Basic web scrapers are easy to vibe code, but an automated sub-second bidding sniper requires high-availability real-time infrastructure, session persistence, clock synchronization, and bypassing target site bot detection.
What it would actually take: The service needs a distributed job scheduler running on low-latency compute (e.g., AWS ECS or ElastiCache/Redis with BullMQ) synchronized via NTP to sub-second accuracy with ShopGoodwill's origin servers. It must manage headless browsers or reverse-engineered API authentication sessions, handle 2FA/captchas, and maintain proxy pools to prevent IP bans during high-frequency last-second socket pings. Building the automation is easy, but achieving guaranteed 3-second reliability without getting blocked requires specialized anti-scraping countermeasures and distributed systems operations.
