Oldest Bargain You Still Have

So out of boredom, I was going through my old comments.

My 8th comment in, I came across this post. Man I laughed - I still occasionally use the USB I purchased from this deal.

Thought I'd ask what the oldest thing you recall buying thanks to this institution is that you still have/use.

    Eneloops.

  • Possibly the $11 D-Link router that's still in use.

  • 7 years ago. I still use it right now… as a second monitor. First monitor is now a 144hz Korean X-star gaming panel.

    I think an old Dominos pizza that's still residually left within me as some fatty molecules? It was the second deal I ever voted for in July 2009.

    To find your oldest it might be better to look at your votes rather than your comments?

    Back then Costco had just opened it's first Aussie store and Virgin was still a budget airline. :o

  • Hard to say. Only one I can think of is the Jambox from the Absolut Vodka promo a few years ago. I probably have things which are older though.

      I don't think most people could call theirs a bargain, so you really scored.

    • You might want to back off from the "oldest" comment.

    • Still under warranty?

    • runs on eneloops.

  • Good ol $9 dell printer. No ink, but still a great scanner.

  • I remember when this was a big thing. Still good and still working got it for my aunt or at least told her.

    Then i think a little bit later the 10.1 wifi + 3g went on special and i am still using that still to this day.

    Kind of sad how slow tablets have moved over the past few years we are definitely in a weird slump now compared to phones and other phablets.

    Let's hope 2018 brings something new or good.

  • Free sample of Oxy Facewash that most people didn't receive. The facewash itself is long gone, but it came with a smaller now discontinued cream that still works well for emergencies after all these years. Probably expired too.

    Became partly useless with the advent of the lightning port.

    • I remember that one. Was close to biting the bullet, but decided to save my $$$.

      Would've been alright too as I only got my first lightning port iPhone last year.

    My very first ozb deal was buy 1 get 1 free grilled burger quite a few years ago. I am sure that is in my DNA somewhere.

    The next oldest is likely a Logitech MX performance mouse from priceengine
