Let me set the stage of our Christmas tale for all our excited readers!
First, a weary traveller came to the Vault searching for Loot:

Sadly only scammers are "selling" boxes now. But if you do want to get scammed, I know a guy.
This forced a local 'farmer' to swat the braying ass on its... well ass:

Wrong.
But so filled with thirst for relevance the ass brayed again, cursing the farmer and trying to impune his produce and stock:

Of course. The extremely obvious sock/troll can totally be trusted. If you're dumb enough to try buying boxes without checking references, PM me. I've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
So the farmer was forced to beat the braying ignorant Ass again soundly, and finally making a wager with the stupid animal that would have the dumb beast turned out into the wilderness and rid the community of its constant braying posts forever:

Challenge accepted, we will make it a wager. If it turns out I haven't sold, traded any stones or boxes with vault posters I'll leave the vault, and if I have you will leave.
Thanks, I'm sure the whole vault will consider you having to leave an excellent present... and when you pussy out we will get to see you try and backpedal and dodge, which while not as great as seeing you leave will be hilarious. LOL!
Chastised, and sensing his doom, the braying ass finally feel silent and stopped speaking to the traveller, and shuffled off hoping the farmer and townsfolk would forget the bet and his ill-advised comments like they had been forced to so often before....
BUT THEN!
One of the elderly residents of the town, who had been there many years and usually kept his head down and minded his own business shuffled into the square where the Traveller, the Farmer and the Braying ass were talking and proclaimed:

Just for the record, I bought ten stones from Dragonborn a few days back. Fair and civil trade which went smoothly
And there was much rejoicing! The townsfolk danced and sang knowing that the Braying ass must now not only leave but that it would soon starve and die in the wilderness alone, never respected or missed! A real Christmas miracle!!!!
