Do you buy things for the packaging?

Sorry, but it's got one of those things where if the seal is broken, you must immediately discard. I can't risk having it exchange hands like that.

I bought my wife for the packaging, but luckily, she turned out to be even better on the inside.

i don't know about the actually packaging design itself, but i do have this obsession with choosing boxes that are unblemished. sometimes it takes me half an hour just to decide on which box is in the best condition. i think i need professional help!!

I've bought crap because of the packaging before. Computer games was a weak point years ago. The air-brushed/artist work on the box was usually nothing like the real games.

I'm pretty sure lots of people buy stuff partly because of the packaging.

Otherwise, most things would come in plain brown boxes.
