What's Inside Bot Grabber Software

A professional-grade desktop automation suite engineered for precision and reliability.

ShopGoodwill Auction Sniper

The built-in ShopGoodwill Sniper fires your bid in the last 2 seconds of every auction — logged into your account, automatically, every time.

NTP Server Clock Sync

The software syncs with ShopGoodwill's own time server every 60 seconds using NTP midpoint correction, so your bids fire at precisely the right millisecond — not a second too early or late.

My Snipes Queue

The My Snipes drawer lets you manage all your scheduled auctions in one place — countdown timers, item thumbnails, bid amounts, and status badges showing win or loss after each fires.

Fixed or Auto-Max Bid Mode

Choose a fixed maximum bid for total control, or let Auto-Max mode calculate the optimal bid amount for you based on the current minimum, reserve, and buy-now price.

TCP Connection Pre-Warm

5 seconds before each auction ends, the engine fetches fresh item data and pre-warms the TCP connection — so the bid request shoots out immediately with no cold-start delay.

Audio Alerts

Know instantly whether you won or lost. Bot Grabber plays a snipe sound when it fires, a cheer when you win, and a loss tone when outbid — even if the window is minimized.

Sleep Prevention

While the sniper engine is running, Bot Grabber tells your OS not to sleep. Your computer stays awake and your scheduled bids fire on time — even if you step away.

System Tray & Background Mode

Close the window and Bot Grabber keeps running silently in your system tray — it doesn't exit, it hides. Click the tray icon to bring it back any time.

Auto-Update Checker

Every time you launch Bot Grabber Software it checks for a newer version. If one is available, you're prompted to update — so you're always running the latest bots and improvements.

Isolated Session Security

Each website bot runs in its own isolated browser partition — your ShopGoodwill session cookies never mix with your normal browser. Secure, private, and contained.

Full Keyboard Shortcuts

Copy, paste, undo, redo, cut, and select-all shortcuts all work natively inside every bot tab and embedded browser — no fumbling with menus.

More Bots via Updates

The software is designed to hold multiple bots as tabs. New bots are added via automatic updates — you install once and Bot Grabber grows with you over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, downloading and installing Bot Grabber Software is completely free. A Bot Grabber account is required to activate bots. You can create a free account here. Some bots may require a paid plan — check the individual bot pages for pricing details.

No. You can close the main window and Bot Grabber continues running in your system tray. The sniper engine keeps running in the background even when the window is hidden or minimized. The software also prevents your computer from sleeping while the engine is active, so scheduled bids always fire on time.

Every time Bot Grabber Software launches, it checks botgrabber.com for the latest version number. If a newer version is available, it shows an update dialog and opens the download page. Updates are required — the software won't run on an outdated version to ensure you always have the most accurate sniper engine.
