Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster 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?

I used to work on a rubbish dump
You get so much good stuff you stop caring. Antique furniture, working big screen tv's, full golf sets, bose stereo equipment etc that you just give up trying to save it.
If they are anything like me their homes will have surround sound systems , massive telly's, and leather furniture that was out of date*
To them that stereo was tat. Also you cant give them away as they haven't been electrically tested for safety; read you could get sued if they burn someones house down.
besides its all mp3 now.
*every time there was a new sale on at dfs/bhs/nhs etc some fuckers would replace all their furniture before driving all the 3 piece suites they got in last years sales to the dump.
