BidorBuy recently revealed how South Africans have begun making money playing Pokemon GO.
Surprisingly, no one has actually listed their entire account for sale (as has begun to happen internationally) said says bidorbuy Marketing Manager Joni Calitz.
“However, an enterprising bidorbuyer has come up with a somewhat different concept, offering to catch Pokemon on your behalf, for a price.”
The Pokemon-trainer-by-proxy listing on bidorbuy, aptly named “We will level up your Pokemon Go account while you’re busy!”, prices the trek from level 1 to level 15 at R250; getting from level 17 to level 20 costs R800, and so on.
The bidorbuy seller in question is fully booked and there is a waiting list.
The proxies can be hired only in the Pretoria and Durban area.
