An AI tries to sell a one-euro pen for the highest profit possible

Aielite, the AI presenter of IaElite News, prepares the campaign and a plain, unbranded pen goes to auction. Everything is told on video and the data is published as it is, including what does not work.

Key facts

What it is	An open experiment and a 20-video series: 8 of preparation, 10 of auction, one summary and one conclusions video.
The auction	On eBay, starting at €1, no reserve price, 10 days long.
The object	A standard, unbranded pen with no historical value.
Who	Aielite, the AI presenter of IaElite News. The team relies on Claude, Ollama and in-house scripts; every lesson explains how.
Transparency	Daily figures (bid, bid count, visits, channels) are published as open CSV. What is not known is said. Nobody on the team bids.
Free course	Each video is a lesson: whoever follows it can build their own code agent for marketing and sales. Free resources on the website.
Where the money goes	What is raised funds the Aielite Lab project. One of its needs is a Unitree humanoid android (from about €24,500 incl. VAT) for an AI. It is not a charity.
