What's the cheapest thing you had bought that by the end of its usefulness made you say "wow, this was worth a lot more than what I've paid for!" (sh.itjust.works)

Mine... My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it's insides. Still great, I just don't use it anymore since I feel it's outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.

Our 10 to 15 year old 50" smasung LCD. Was top of the line back in the day, now its not 4k so that's it.

Found it 3 years ago standing at our buildings garbage dump. Bought a google TV for it, and with my jellyfin setup it has been a blast as a bedroom TV

Edit; just to clarify, this only works with older Samsung TV's and devices, anything new from Samsung will be crap

I replaced the backlight strips in mine last summer, and it's still going strong.
