Useful crap for under 20 dollars?
« on: August 20, 2010, 06:21:36 AM »
I bought everything I want with what I have made on ebay and have around 18 and some change. Any recommendations as far as some random useful item I could buy for under 20?

I look for stuff like that a lot when I have extra money lying around in my paypal. I always end up buying some obscure game I never played though.
Maybe try browsing on dealextreme for something cool?

I could buy several nice lunches for 18 dollars. Well not nice, but definitely lunch.
And I have not met a dealer who accepts paypal and would be highly suspicious if I did.

Found something useful for when the apocalypse never comes.

Hey that actually looks pretty cool. I can't think when I'd need to use it, but I want one. :D

Lol, I decided to start making an emergency bucket. I got two 5 gallon buckets at home I used to brew with but I haven't in a while.
bought a couple minor first aid things and that, later on I'm going to buy more first aid shit and a box of MREs and a water filtering system to attach to one of my rain barrels. Oh and eventually Either a windmill or solar panels.
Should have bought the shit to fix my tv though. PS3 is not meant to be played on a 13 inch sdtv.

Not a bad idea, it's always nice to think your prepared for whatever, even if it never pays off.
It's funny about TV's, when I bought my HDTV I just HAD to buy component cables for all my old game consoles, but since they look pixelated and rarely have a widescreen option I keep my old TV hooked up.
Meanwhile I only have 1 HDMI cable, so when I want to switch between the 360 and PS3 I'm usually too lazy to pull the TV out of the corner to switch it back. It's a sad state of affairs.
I hear you about the old TV, in most games the text is so small it's almost impossible to read unless your viewing in HD.

With regards to your 'emergency bucket' Adam, isn't it a shame that Murphy's Law exists?
Well, I s'pose if you have it, no bad shit'll happen. But the one time you think you don't need it... X|

I am almost depending on this nation going to civil war. I hope it doesn't but I expect 2012 to be a self fulfilling prophecy.
