## What it is
Bird Bot is a Python desktop auto-checkout bot with a PyQt5 interface that monitors Walmart and Best Buy for Nintendo Switch console restocks and automatically completes purchases. It waits for out-of-stock items to restock and includes an optional price checker.

## Use cases
- auto-checkout a Nintendo Switch from Walmart
- buy a Switch from Best Buy the moment it restocks
- monitor out-of-stock items and wait for restock
- check prices before purchasing a console

## When to choose
- you want a GUI-based auto-checkout bot for Walmart or Best Buy
- you need to snag a hard-to-find Nintendo Switch console at retail price

## When to avoid
- you need support for other retailers or current site layouts
- you want a maintained project - the last release was April 2021 and site changes likely broke it
- you need checkout automation for products other than the Nintendo Switch
