Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Reeboks of doomRachelswipe reminded me of this one
Not cheap tat I bought but that I sold
We were poor. Down on our uppers. A lightbulb appeared above my ex hubby's head..TING! "Lets sell all our shit! At a car boot sale!"
Well, I was a bit embarrassed, but then my tummy rumbled again and I thought "Fuck it!" We raided the loft - black bag after black bag of hidden treasure. My wardrobe yielded fabrics not seen since since the 90's (Lycra anyone?) and the kitchen was a haven of never used crappy, tatty gadgets.
He packed the majority of it up and off we headed to a cold and foggy field in Kent to sell our wares.
On arrival, we unpacked our van of shite and as we emptied out our bags and boxes onto a wallpapering table I noticed that a pair of my oldest, stinkiest, scruffiest Reebok trainers had somehow found their way into our trove.These babies were at least 5 years old and not at their best, to say the least. Oh! how we laughed! "Look at these poor sad fuckers" I thought, "Lets hide them away under the table"
Not 10 minutes later I was confronted with these abominations being waved in my face by a.. and I'm holding fire here..CHAV
"How much for these babes?"
"Erm, they're not for sale actually, they're horrible"
"Nah, how much?"
She waves fist threateningly
"50p?"
"Done"
Fuuuuck.
Pretty cheap, definitely useless. 50p? RESULT

lolzHere's a relative story you reminded me of.
We had a hol in the Bahamas years ago, on the way back our connecting flights were screwed up and our luggage lost for a couple of days. When it turned up and they delivered it to us, some skanky twunt had nicked my Reeboks.
Those trainers were only £30 new from sport-chav-soccer but were then over a year old, somewhat tatty / smelly and were size 11! I didn't bother reporting the theft. Anyone desperate enough to steal those surely deserves them!
