You had to sell it using the "Sell Item" interface (rather than dragging and dropping) which made it too inconvenient to really farm it, but I think it would satisfy this question.

As I understand it, shortly after this exploit became common knowledge, they patched it serverside. There were already several "grinding" bots out there. Not efficient for farming manually, but made gold quickly for botters.
I don't really understand the need for a grinding bot, unless you set up a gamble routine along with it. Then you could grind your way into some nice stuff. I bet Pindlebots would be more lucrative anyway.
