This is a question Cheap Tat

OneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."

Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.

What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

This is a question reply H.O.T.S
In a moment of hormone induced madness I bought a £3 copy of this 70s "comedy" from a cheapo shop. (Look, I was 19 and it looked like there were going to be boobs in it, OK?)
Not only was the film shit but it was a dodgy pirate copy that had apparently been re-edited by a spastic chimpanzee. (The end credits actually arrived halfway though the film, then there was a gap then the middle of the film turned up.)
Being broke I was sad enough to demand my money back.

Still a better deal than a mate of mine who bought a "Mystery" goodie-bag at an auction run by large, shaven-headed cockneys. His £10 got him a (broken) walkman and a pair of earrings that turned his fingers green just by touching them.

I have H.O.T.S. II - equally fulfilling!
