I get lots of stuff from ebay/china for my camera but the greatest being a no-name battery grip for $17 (cad) when the Canon brand one is $136 CAD

I thought this thread had died a quick death.....

Ok so  a got an Arduino Uno clone with a set of male pins and a Bluetooth receiver dongle for $1 via Newegg and a 10 dollar "please spend your money here again" pity coupon.  It's a special case so I'm not sure if we can count it, but I did technically only pay a dollar.

Link doesn't work. 

I bought my dad a Chromecast Audio so he can be the guinea pig.  My understanding is you'll be able to cluster multiples of them into playing the same thing across various rooms of the house.  Quite looking forward to thumping industrial 24/7 on those things.

Well I bought mine for the Camaro.  I've reverted back to the original factory head unit because, quite frankly, the amps and radios in those units were so good that they blow most entry level stereo systems out of the water.  You can add an aux input quite easily by unhooking the cable the goes to the cassette module and manipulating the audio lines and a couple of signal switches via a pair of double polled relays.  I've got mine running to a switching 3.5mm jack.... when nothing is plugged in it uses the Bluetooth module. 

Just finished it up this evening and the tests are promising.  I'll re-install it back into the car tomorrow hopefully.
