Hey seller/owner, how about blessing me with it for birthday, I know you’re trying to sell it, but imagine how good you’d feel giving it to me for my November 4th birthday! I’d cherish it and take care of it and I would never ever sell it, in fact, that could be a clause that I could never sell it or upon attempting to do that it automatically returns the ownership back to you.
