    Bought a laptop on adverts for 35 euro.
    It came with Vista and was bogged down with sh1te programs.
    I wiped it clean and installed Windows 7 (torrented copy) and added extra ram.
    A year later its good as anything you can buy in the shops.
    Fcukin bargain.

    A house in D4 during the recession. Went for Twenty Billion during the boom, I bought it off Tom McFeely in 2010 for a bag of Tayto and a sup of Club Orange.

    Brand new patio set, table, chairs, foot stools, coffe/drinks table, and swing seat for €25.

    Got at ideal home exhibition in Punchestown 07. Paid deposit of 25 euro, came home from work one afternoon to find it had been half arsedly delivered up the side of my gaff.

    To this day tried to contact the company ( UK based) to find out the craic. Only numbers we had were all dead. A Google search for company returned same phone number and a 'website under construction' message.

    Bargain.

    Diving equipment from someone who had decided to purchase all the equipment but gave up after a few months. 500 euro for a semi dry, tank, BCD, etc etc. Practically brand new

    I got a new Samsung s4 off amazon uk this week on a warehouse deal for €290 and its €560 in O2 Ireland.

    I'm surprised one mentions birth control on these threads. A packet of condoms can save you hundreds of thousands euro not having a child.
