Find desired phones on Flip.ro

Context

One friend of mine asked me which phone do I recommend him and his wife buying as I am really passionate about tech(mobile phones, laptops, PCs, monitors, TVs, Speakers, etc). We established a budget and then I told him about Flip.ro.

What is Flip.ro?

It is a website which sells second-hand mobile phones which are stricly verified and they offer customers 30 days of return and 2 years of warranty. These are cheaper than in shops, and a safer buy than phones from other people.

How did I end up making this script?

We searched several days for 2 identical phones(2 Samsung Galaxy S21 of 256GB in "As new" or "Excelent" conditions) but we found none. Their stock is very unpredictable, and sometimes, low too. So, I have created this script which also gave me the opportunity to learn a little bit of Selenium, I let it run in the background and in the second day we already found and bought the first phone. After that, I have never used this again, but it was fun creating and seeing it really helping us.

Here you may see the email's structure

This is an email sent while testing the script with some friends after it was done.
