To be perfectly fair to mnementh, it was a good price, given the outcome and the low hours on it is true BUT when it comes Jammy Git territory I really believe that many of his "Thrift" purchases are far closer to the Jammy Git award, I personally have never seen prices so low as he gets in our equivalent type of shops, makes me quite jelly at times.
Yeah, it's true; our thrift stores do get some weird shit in from time to time. However MOST of the time prices on anything not total garbunge are ridiculous. FFS, they actually put baggies & boxes of used halogen light bulbs that have been changed out for LED up on the wall. Not just once in a while, but literally ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
So which is worse; the assholes who put those bulbs back in the box and "donate" their garbage instead of paying to get rid of it, or the assholes who put it out for sale as if it wasn't garbage...?
There's all sorts of other stuff that comes through like that; bits & pieces of something that used to be of value. If I'm lucky I can put it together (EVERYTHING they sell, if it has a AC adapter it goes up on the wall separately with its own pricetag) but it's usually only when something sneaks by them in parts I can get a deal, like those "N" cables or the PS3.
But sometimes I get totally screwed, like with that BunkBerry PlayBook.
I am so NOT regretting chucking that thing out the window; that satisfaction was ALMOST worth the CAD$20 I paid for it.
Definitely worth $20 to NEVER be tempted to fuck with it again; considering probable grief saved over the long run, THAT deserves a Jammy. mnem
So does THAT deserve something like a "Anti-Jammy"? What's the appropriate reward for the WORST WOFTAM of the day...?
