You trade HP for equipment that's not too much better than what you have on. Which doesn't really appeal to anyone.
People good enough to not care about their HP don't really need the gear, people who are bad enough to need the gear need the HP even more. About the only thing really worthwhile is the time crystal or the health potion, as a desperation heal. And even that isn't much.
I'd suggest doing away with the gear altogether, especially since the HP they take away is based on gold sell price and... that's a really bad way of balancing the worth of a piece of equipment. Some things that sell for little are amazing, some things with a high sell price are pretty much garbage. Instead, make the offerings something anyone would consider tossing their HP away for.
Loot Crate: Buy it for a % of your HP, smash it open and get 3 random pieces of gear. Just for you, not allies.
Lood Crate: ^ ... and three random loods spawn in the room, with as limited time to kill them as any normal lood. Only the player who buys it can see/damage/collect from the loods.
Tear of the Goddess: Upon buying this, your max HP is halved and you are healed to full.
Bow Polish: For a % of your HP, your bow level is increased by 1. Or just has it's damage boosted.
Time Crystal: As normal.
