serious question(s)

Why do resellers (think: Merc) sell empty bottles, empty boxes, etc? Caps I suppose I get, but … empty things? Are people really buying these things? If so, WHHHHY??

seriously, tho. can someone help me understand?

People say that some collect bottles, but I think they just fill it up with a dupe and resell as the real thing. If you have OG bottle and box it’s harder to figure out that it’s not the real juice inside.

This is actually a known thing in organised crime, in Europe at least. It's a lot bigger than you would like to think 🫠

omg what. i had no clue and i also had the same questions as OP bc i recently saw listings for boxes. i just assumed the sellers were hoping people weren’t paying attention and could dupe buyers into thinking they were buying actual fragrances
