Who buys these things?

The other day I pulled this from the "go away" box at the store. The go away box are things we don't think we can sell at the store. The crafter in me thought someone could use it to melt wax. After reading the directions it's a no, no but I still think you could. :) The reseller part of me checked the comps and made sure it worked. I was pretty surprised the sold comps were around $20+. Makes me wonder why? It's headed over to Cottage Crafts in the morning.
