Or generically how about a word to describe a customer that buys your stuff, but never opens it?
I have been thinking of kickstarting a board game where there will be 500 boxes, 499 contain blank stuff, 1 contains the stuff with the printing materials etc. As long as you leave your copy shrink wrapped yours might be the really valuable one.

#5So .. enlighten me, Japanese-speakers .. would the word for "Apps I bought from the App Store but never use" be something like .. "Tsunappu" .. or, something? Because I have, literally, hundreds of those ..

#8I wish my "Tsundoku" could have been an investment that could generate some passive income. But alas my copy of "Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic in 24 hours" circa 1995 (or so), is still untouched. Just never got the necessary 24 hours to learn it. Maybe I can sell it by the tonnage sometime.
I thought that going the Kindle and digital media route would have saved me from adding to my "Tsundoku", but I am back in collection mode again.
There is something about a physical book that the Kindle reading experience could never recreate. In fact I find myself spending almost twice the money because I want both formats.

Yes, but as soon as someone opens his to find the content, you'll know that your copy isn't valuable even if you kept it shrink wrapped...
