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?

not me but... (another bike story)not someone i know, just someone who's path i fortunately crossed
my girlfriends bike got nicked at uni
next day on my way to lectures, i see someone riding it, so i stop them and ask where they got it, down the pub for £40 it seems, they were some johnny foreigner who had bought it of whoever nicked it, but it wasnt his so i was taking it back, so he paid £40 for a bike worth 30 which he owned for probably no more than 12 hours

He allowed you to take it back?Personally I'd have kicked you in the nads instead, were I in his position.
Doesn't it just restore your faith in humanity that there are some honest people left in the world.
