All My Life for Sale - Mark's Christmas Gift

This item is simply an unopened present. Why would someone want to buy something and not even know what it really is?
Perhaps the person who bought this was a lonely person who didn't have family or friends around. This person just really wanted a present for Christmas that would be a surprise, and not something that they picked out and bought for himself.
Or, maybe the person who bought this was crunched for time and needed a present to take to a White Elephant gift exchange at work or another Christmas party. He didn't care what was inside it or how crappy it was because he didn't care about the person he was giving it to.

Why did something as random as this sell?
It sold because it was random. Some people just like having random things and think it's fun. Even if it was given to someone that the buyer cared about, he could explain the story behind the gift. I'm sure it would have been unforgettable.

  1. I really liked your assessment of the kind of person that would want this present. It was extremely amusing and a good assumption!
