Something Fun for a Change.... Cheap Item contest.
(1/7) > >>
Howard_Casto:
I've been scrounging eBay and Amazon looking for project parts and I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of inexplicably cheap things for sale out there on the net.  So why don't we have some fun.  Cheap stuff contest....

Rules: 

Item must be ~20 us dollars or less (preferably less)  yes shipping counts in the total because there are some 1 cent "deals" with 20 dollar shipping out there. 

If the item is from eBay or a similar Auction site, it must be the "buy it now" price. 

Up to 20 bonus points can be awarded for cheapness.... a 20 dollar item gets no points, a 19 dollar item gets 1, 18 dollar item gets 2, ect.....

5 Bonus points if the item can be used as a cart filler for amazon or similar sites

Up to 20 coolness points to be awarded by the peanut gallery.... each person can give one point

Prizes:

In accordance with the spirit of the contest, the prize will be of no monetary value.  First prize is the title of cheap king. 


This is just for fun, so I reserve the right to change the rules or completely ignore them according to the reaction.  Much like Who's Line... the rules are made up and the points don't matter.

It's late so my search fu is a bit weak atm, but I'll start us off.

Pretty bland on the cool factor, but a dollar for a small led strip is pretty good.  Yeah you need a power supply but those are ~ 5 bucks.
