Show HN: Selling numbered rocks, you get whatever's next in sequence

I had this idea: what if you removed customer choice entirely? So I'm selling rocks for $49.99. You can't pick which one. You just get rock #000001, then the next person gets #000002, etc. No returns, no exchanges. Currently sourcing rocks and taking pre-orders for November. Each one gets weighed, photographed, numbered, and comes with a certificate. Could be a 1-gram pebble or a 10kg boulder - same price. It's the opposite of how everything online works. Amazon shows you a million options, I'm giving you zero. Wondering if that constraint makes it more interesting or if I'm just making it harder for no reason. No social media, no marketing, barely any explanation on the site. Just: here's a rock, here's a number, here's the price. Honestly not sure if anyone will actually buy these, but the pre-orders will tell me if removing choice kills demand or creates it. https://weight.rocks
