SALESBOT 9.99+TX the Merchant (also written as Salesbot 9.99TX[1]), also known as the Merchantbot[2], is a robotic merchant who appears in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. It sells items on all the planets, including Cursa's stronghold, to the heroes during their adventure. Certain items may be temporarily discounted at certain points in the game.

Its name is derived from "9.99 plus tax", a monetary value that is commonly used as a form of psychological pricing.
