This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Nobody just gives away $200, and buying a "mystery box" from an anonymous stranger is the same thing.

Plenty of people do though. When you're advertising a mystery box for $200, the average person won't be interested, but there are plenty of whales who just have to know what's in it.

Perhaps "nobody" is slight exaggeration. But I guarantee that more people would buy Girl Scout cookies for $5 than a mystery box for $200.

Sure. But OP doesn't care about absolute numbers, they just want to sell a dozen or two.
