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?

Scooter Cnuts
About two months ago i treated myself to a new 125 scooter, being a cheapskate and tighter than scrooges arsehole ( i save my money for booze) i ordered one from China over teh interweb in half kitform, now the advert said no experience necessary to build just follow instructions(My motto seems to be buy first ask questions later.), in hindsight thats a fecking stupid thing to do when your trusting your life on a fast 2 wheeler. Apart from the fact half the bolts were missing and the front wheel was knackered, i just about got it built and found out that it wouldnt start. I threatened legal action and the company sent their most useless spanner monkey, who accused me of putting the wrong type of petrol in to save himself the work.

The moral being the £300 Quid i'd saved was swallowed up in legal bills and the company did a runner.

The worst thing was three weeks after getting it on the road i skidded on ice and crashed it, arse.

Well faster than a 50cc
I do realise that now, why i thought i'd get a deal when i havnt got a scooby about that sort of thing. Your right about Chinese scooters, it isnt even the first one ive bought, so i have no excuse.

I did the same with a mountain bike
bought one online that required "some" assembly but the rest was put together by their "experts". Put together by monkeys more like. Never again.
