Best Buy under $50

Good result!
Sony SRS-X2 for $30 - Sony store pricing error ($30 was meant to be the discount, not the price)
Nabbed 3 of them - 2 for gifts and 1 for me. Stopped me buying a Bose Soundlink and the sound is pretty good (albeit not as good as the Bose at high volumes, but I rarely have it up that loud).
Second best was the $99 return flight from Sydney to Manila. I didn't know I needed to go to the Philippines until I saw the price. The flight was half empty so I had the entire row to myself and was able to lay down to and from. Staff were lovely and the scuba was even better once I arrived. Second time I went back was $249 and still great value.
New toilet seat when moving to a new house. <$20 at Bunnings, and it's a real luxury to know you're sitting on fresh untouched plastic.
How much do they normally cost?
Someone's been on Reddit recently.
Any who, my favourite would be the 2DS console with Pokemon Y pre-installed for $50 at Big W.
isn't reddit free?
Anker powerline+ 3m nylon braided micro usb to usb cable with proper AWG for faster charging.. the extra length is so worth it but I think I paid close to a fortune for it in the world of cables.
It was like 6 or 7x the budget of a 5m cable from a local office works clone office choice but actually worked or charged my tablet at full speed.
Compared to what I paid for my tablet it was a no brainer.
My next good purchase under $50 will probably be a neo luxe bidet with a self cleaning nozzle. But I might buy a few and shipping will probably kill me anyways.
Good Guys gaming sale where they gave $40 vouchers if they had cancellations from an order, I think I had either 2 or 3 orders with cancellations so ended up with about 7 games and at least $80 store credit for $40.
Had another from Gumtree where I bought about 20 Futurama figures for $25. Didn't really collect much at the time, but got them because they had a cool variety of characters. Looked up the company who made them and found there were a few that were pretty rare, ended up making about $300 selling a couple of the rare ones and have kept the rest on display at home.
Intel i5 4th Gen processor
clueless seller, was going to bin it
paid 50 and runs fine to this day
