The puzzles staying up is both a blessing and a curse. The first year I did it, I fell behind and told myself I'll come back to it in the new year, but once that happened, I lost interest, and never finished.
I also like the effort that is put into the puzzle descriptions, and the ASCII art slowly getting colored and animated. Really is the extra mile that makes it special.
If I am understanding right, when you say "can't be bothered", you mean "can't be compelled/forced"?
Seems pretty reasonable, albeit slightly reliant on honesty. At least for scammers, they aren't likely to want it back, as that would deanonymise them, so if its definitely a scam, your pretty safe to keep it.

The items could also have been purchased with a stolen credit cards.
I had a variation of on of these scams happen to me.
I purchased a pair of headphones on eBay - $50
The box that arrived, was shipped directly from Officeworks, with an invoice for $70, and a business account setup in my name, and a strange credit card.
Reported it to officeworks, got to keep the headphones, but likely someone got a $70 charge on their card, and the eBay seller probably got my $50 for free.
That makes even more sense, they probably dont stand out in the crowded market place, but for a few dollars in shipping and lost product, they can get a glowing review to push them up.
Its important to realise that while the item might list for $$$$$, it probably only costs $ to manufacture.
