I could have a very long list given how often I go to a thrift store so I will just post my most recent get.

Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System which goes for $300 used on amazon.


for $6 from my thrift store last week.

The fuck, that's a great set.

What kind of thrift stores you visiting that are dumb enough to shelve stuff like that for 6 dollar.
 
Oh we include Rasberry Pi? Because I love my Raspberry Pi. My mother/sister-in-law was so impressed that they went and bought 3. Also giving another one for my sister as a present for her when she starts college this month.

Sliquid Organics Natural Gel, the best anal lube there is.
 
What did you make with the Pi, if you don't mind share a bit?

I just turned them into kodi boxes. I didn't do anything special. My sister is a huge k-pop/k-drama fan. So I gave her some stuff to watch all the drama she can watch.

But my first project that I want to do is make a Magic Mirror. I was thinking that the best place could be the bathroom or possibly the living room. But I gotta wait til I get out of this apartment.
 
Lord of the Rings Trilogy Extended Edition Bluray for $14.22 after taxes.

I immediately drove straight to the nearest Best Buy that had it when I saw that price.

picked this up at a goodwill for 5$ about 3 years ago.

Incredible.

Jesus Christ, I think this is the first time I've ever hated someone out of jealousy.

Easily the winner of the thread.

Well, you'll love this then...

I got a small Craftsman ratchet set from Sears a few years back, and it's been extremely useful.

Normally $45 (without subscribing to them). Got it for $29.89 w/o tax on Amazon Prime Day.
Are those really better than Swaddlers? I don't know if I can deal with not having that line that turns blue when wet.
 
It's gone up ten dollars since I bought it, but my Eno Hammock is still the most amazing thing I ever bought for less than $50.

Made of parachute silk, it's indestructible and folds into its own accessory pocket (in which you can keep books, ipods, even drinks while you're hammock-ing) and provides bug and sun protection too. Can easily accommodate two adults, you can sit in it upright as well as lounge or sleep. You can hang it ANYWHERE, and with the ballistic straps you can suspend it between trees that are like, 25 feet apart. It's staggering how cool it is.

It folds up almost small enough to fit in a coat pocket. It weighs like, a pound. If that. I mostly use at beaches, BBQs and picnics. But it's fantastic for camping and they make hella accessories.

Thread made me order a Graph gear 500 from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047CP7PA/?tag=neogaf0e-20

$2 coupon and some points I had: $2.25 including tax.

And my purchases:

Halo 2 PC and Shawdowrun for $40 at Circuit City years ago.

I grinded that Halo 2 PC like crazy, got the 1000 gamerscore on it.

Shadowrun was funny because I helped people get that achievement for kills on the other platform whenever I joined and said I was on PC. They asked me for it and even stopped playing for the relic lol
 
A pair of yoga pants for my then-girlfriend
Resident Evil 6
Firewatch
McDonald's double quarter-pounder meal
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Braid
A weed wacker
 
There is a lot of stuff on here that I will definitely be checking out. Can't really think of anything off the top of my head.

Bialetti Venus 6-cup moka pot for homemade espresso. About 20-30 bucks I think.

Goddamn this thing is great. I've used it every single day for the last two years and I still love it so much.

My parents used this style espresso maker while growing up to make coffee, honestly it's the only way I really like coffee. Mine recently broke and I bought a cheapo $7 one at a thrift store and it's already broken.

I may splurge on this more expensive version. The cost savings and utility of making your own GOOD cup of coffee is essential
