The sneaker industry is a billion-dollar market with no sign of slowing down. With so many people making bank off sneaker resales, it’s not hard to see why there’s so many bots trying to take a piece of that pie.
But what if you don’t want to spend thousands on a sneaker bot? What if you just want one for your personal use or just occasional reselling? Well, you can always rent sneaker bots.
In fact, you should!
In this article, we’ll discuss how renting before buying can save you money and what proxies work best with each sneaker bot.
To begin, try not to use too many different sneaker bots. You’ll want at least two or three if you plan to resell sneakers for profit. I highly advise that you rent first before buying a bot just so you know what works best with the websites and your proxies.
As you can see, some sneaker bots are well into the thousands of dollars which can be a little intimidating for sneakerheads just dipping their toes in the market. Some questions you may have are:
- Where do you go to buy or rent sneaker bots?
- What is the transaction process like?
- How do you rent a sneaker bot without getting scammed?
- What’s a fair rental rate?
I’m going to tackle each of these questions specifically so you can safely rent sneaker bots.
Where to buy and rent sneaker bots
Be very careful when buying sneaker bot rentals on websites like eBay, Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. These are the most common places where people get scammed out of their money because they weren’t familiar with the process.
You can also buy and rent sneaker bots on Tidal Market, Bot Mart, and Bot Broker. I personally prefer Bot Mart and Tidal because it’s super easy to find bots from reliable companies.
Renting a sneaker bot with Bot Mart has some downsides though, including the significant cost and low inventory of certain brands. The upside is that they offer 24/h customer support in case you have any issues or concerns about your purchase.
You may notice the inventory is actually pretty low on these commercial platforms. That’s because the real action happens in the underground bot rental scene.
Tidal and Botmart both have a bustling discord marketplaces where you can find many more bots and the most up-to-date prices. They both host a lively community and you can sell your old bots there after renting them. In many cases you can resell your bot for more money than what you paid. Cryptocurrencies are the most common forms of payment, but some offer PayPal which gives you a better sense of security.
This guide won’t eliminate the possibility of scams, but at least you’ll be able to see them for what they are.
Rent Sneaker Bots on the Discord Marketplace
The tidal discord marketplace can overwhelm new customers. They carry a wide variety of sneaker bots and proxies, although the quality is not always consistent.
For efficient navigation, I recommend that you use the search bar to find the sneaker bots you’re after. This way you can filter by
- Sneaker bot brand
- Price range
- Sale type (rent, buy, sell)
- Sale duration (daily, weekly, and monthly)
You Can Use The Short Form Of ‘Willing To Rent’ – Wtr To Quickly Browse Bot-Specific Offers. Other Shortcuts Include:
- WTS (sell)
- WTB (buy)
- WTT (trade)
If you don’t know what kind of bot you need, here’s a (maybe overly) in-depth guide that walks you through the steps on how to choose a sneaker bot. It also includes a massive list of over twenty of the top reigning sneaker bots.
How to Safely Rent Sneaker Bots
If you find the right bot at the right price on a commercial website like Bot Mart or Tidal, then you’ve nothing to worry about. The check-out process is straightforward and there’s no risk of scams.
But if you can’t rent the right sneaker bot on the main websites, and choose to rent a sneaker bot through the discord markets – you’ll need to use a middleman.
A middleman is someone you pay to oversee the transaction and ensure that the buyer and seller hold up their ends of the bargain.
In short, a middleman holds the key to the sneaker bot, and the payment details of the buyer. Once both the payment and product check out, the middleman gives the product key to the buyer and payment to the seller.
After that, the middleman’s job is done, and receives a modest commission. Who pays the middleman? You can use it as a bargaining chip in the negotiations beforehand.
How much should you pay for a bot rental?
Well, there really isn’t a concrete answer. It depends on the sneaker bot, how long you plan to rent, your negotiation skills, and the time of year.
The best way to go about it is to browse the sneaker bot’s feed and get an idea of the lowest and average rate. Obviously the more current prices will be nearer to the bottom of the feed.
Once you find the lowest price, you can contact the sneaker bot owner and try to negotiate. If they say no, then just give them a counter offer that’s near what you were willing to pay for rental.
During your rental, make sure to take notes so you can look back on what value you got from each bot. This can help you make decisions in the future when you want to rent again.
Also, make sure to try out the sneaker bots on different proxies. This will help you decide which proxies are reliable and which ones aren’t for that specific bot or website combination. Some sneaker websites don’t work well with all types of proxies so it’s important to figure this part out before committing to a purchase.
