#3> Because the greatest Black Friday gift of all is buying nothing. We’re offering that for the rock-bottom price of $5. How can you afford NOT to seize this incredible opportunity?
Great salesmanship.

#5Isn't this either very border line or even illegal in the US (genuinely asking)? - I thought every contract between 2 parties required an exchange of something, so money can't be traded for nothing, but maybe I'm wrong.

#6Nice. If they're smart, they'll donate it all to Oxfam. That, or post InstaPix of spending it on hookers and blow.

Probably not any different than just donating to a GoFundMe fundraiser. It's not actually a deductible charitable donation, and you're receiving nothing in return.

It just means the buyers could easily get a refund. It's not illegal.
Similarly, technically minors can't enter into commercial contracts except for life necessities. So if an <18 buys a car, they could return it whenever they want. Whether they'd have to pay something for its use/damage is debatable.

#10It sounds reminiscent of the "I am rich" app[1], and even more to the apparently apocryphal copycat "I am not stupid" (which was presumably sold for US$1.99)
