how is your brain power this morning, can you solve this simple riddle?

i'll post the answer if nobody knows


The maker doesn't want it.
The buyer doesn't use it.
And the user doesn't see it.
What is it?

[weecalf]

Could have been dark glasses worn by someone unfortunate to have lost their sight

[Tilly2]

Well it would have been 'them' not 'it', weecalf.
good idea though.

[weecalf]

It could be a different answer to be used if the person came up with coffin to quick just to burst their bubble if you said them instead of it What do you think ?

The riddle doesn't work for the instances when
(1) some people do select and buy their coffin before their death.

or
(2) people who make their own
