LoungeLizard commented on HP Laptop 15.6" FHD AMD 5 7535 32GB 256GB SSD, Jet Black $899.20 Delivered @ HP eBay
Good price, but 256GB SDD is a bit at odds with the 32GB RAM.

LoungeLizard commented on Mahlkönig E80S Black Coffee Grinder $999 (~83% off RRP $5,720) Delivered / VIC C&C @ Lime Blue Coffee
Very good price for a top notch grinder, unfortunately it's way too big for my kitchen (it's a commercial grinder)

IMO a Samsung HW-Q990F for similar money (regularly on sale) is a much better deal, if you have space for a sub and satellites

Quality was pretty average last time I ordered. Judging by Google reviews it's a bit hit and miss
