Like bragging rights, an [[Clingy MacGuffin|object]], [[The Magnificent|a title]], or a [[Someone Has to Do It|job]] is passed from the defeated to the winner. Sometimes, though, defeat means death. '''You Kill It, You Bought It''' means that whoever kills the owner gets the possession, no matter if the kill was intentional or not. This is often the only way [[Loyal Phlebotinum]] can change hands.
 
So, it usually goes like this: [[The Hero]] accidentally does something to kill the previous owner, so he's [[Clingy MacGuffin|stuck with the possession]] even though the death wasn't his fault. The rest of the plot involves the hero either trying to cope or trying to get rid of it.
