Flea markets
I love em!
Yesterday i went to the local flea market, named Naylon, to see if there is anything interesting this weed. So i walk by and spot an replica of an Xbox (ecksbawks lawl) controller. I examine it and it appeared to be functional, so i ask the guy "how much? he said 10 e, than i noticed it misses an receiver, since its wireless, so i lover the price to 3e! Damn im good.
Next i walk by and see an TrekStor German MP3 player, i.beat organix FM 1gb, i try to turn it on but it didnt give any signs of life. The guy asked 5e for it, i thought it must be the battery, probably needs some jumping, so i lover the price by telling him some tech stuff, like:
"- Maybe the retro capacitor is broken, those things are expencive!"
And guess what, he believes me LOL, So i get that baby for 3e as well.
Walking even further i spot Soundblaster 5.1 sound card, appeared functional (no capacitors were bloated, and there was no burn marks) so i buy the thing. Damn the sound it makes is too sweet :>
Costed me 2e lol
Plus i boughed some other crap, like tinnol wire and a 2 headed eagle badge, as well as an USB 2.0 5 port add on card, a bluetooth adapter and a 2.4GHz wifi reciver (in hopes my bigben PC wireless joypad will work with it).
Also here is a pic with stuff i boughed yesterday and the week before:
It also includes a Trust card reader (metal casing O_o), a kingston CF 1gb card, Krone LAN cable clippers and a really shitty small pc fan (jsut for teh lolz) 
The point of this was to show that with 12e you can actually buy lots of cool stuff

Just because things are cheap do not mean that they're deals.
I need solder wire because im an electrician and ofter make / fix stuff
My old MP3 was broken
Xbox controller is awesome, good for games
1gb cf card can be sold, and is good for backup
