Automatically monitor Mac Mini availability on secondary markets and purchase when prices drop below specified thresholds to help users acquire hardware for OpenClaw deployments.

Core Capabilities

  • Multi-platform monitoring: Track Mac Mini listings on eBay, BackMarket, and Swappa simultaneously
  • Price threshold alerts: Configure model-specific price targets and get notified when deals appear
  • Automated purchasing: Execute purchases automatically when listings match your criteria
  • Notification system: Receive alerts via console, webhook, or log file when deals are found
  • Configuration management: CLI-driven configuration with YAML-based persistence
  • Purchase history: Track all transactions with timestamps, prices, and platform details

Out of Scope

  • Physical hardware handling (shipping, receiving, testing)
  • Payment method setup and management (assumes pre-configured)
  • Account creation on marketplace platforms
  • Cross-border shipping or customs handling
  • Hardware setup or configuration after purchase

Trigger Scenarios

  • "Monitor eBay for M1 Mac Minis under $400 and buy the first one you find"
  • "Set up price alerts for used Mac Mini models and notify me when they drop below $500"
  • "Automatically purchase a 2020 Intel Mac Mini if it appears on BackMarket for under $300"
  • "I need to expand my OpenClaw cluster, find me used Mac Minis at reasonable prices"

Usage

CLI

# Start monitoring with default config
node scripts/monitor.js

# Start monitoring with custom config
node scripts/monitor.js --config ./my-config.yaml

# Run in dry-run mode (no purchases)
node scripts/monitor.js --dry-run

# Single scan (no continuous monitoring)
node scripts/monitor.js --once

Configuration

targets:
  - model: "Mac Mini M1"
    maxPrice: 400
    condition: "good"
    platforms: ["ebay", "backmarket"]
