Recent purchases thread
 

Any of you bought anything recently we should all know about, perhaps found an excellent deal somewhere?

I bought this rower recentyl, although second hand. It's awesome.

That looks better than mine - have a cheap argos one but still plan on bringing it :)

Only recent purchases are UK ones - got a 6Kg, 1400rpm Indesit washing machine for £199 if it counts

$49 for a small microwave from K-mart. To tide me over for a month while I have no kitchen.
And today a set of chrome lever taps for the ensuite- $99 from Bunnings.

Offroad R/C cars from Hobbyking (Hong Kong) for christmas presents - about $100 delivered including radio and battery. Nice quality, brushless motor, good electronics, LiPo battery, 4WD, all parts cheaply replaceable. You would pay about $300 for sonmething similar locally.

Stinger suits for the children, so they're ready for the beach, should summer ever decide to arrive.

I've had a busy few weeks

House
64" TV
710L fridge
3 peice leather sofa
Pugalier puppy
iPhone 5
8 zone security alarm
2 WiFi security cameras
and 2nd hand lawnmower/blower/trimmer from a gardener mate.

I'd recomend the cameras. Made by Foscam and you can move them about via an app on your mobile. Just set it up so it emails me on motion detection etc. Quite impressive for the price.

Ironing board cover, last summer, 5 bucks. (Pattern starting to fade - caveat emptor).

Bag of Aborio Rice, Costco - less than a few bucks I should think.

Cyclone spade from Bunnings - $55, Australian made. Chinese made one was $40.

I'm now sick of digging holes.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Also, this guy. Amazon Kindle touch 3g.

Not very impressed with the 3g coverage and it's nowhere near as nice to hold/turn pages as the Kindle Keyboard. But still an awesome ereader. I settled for this as the Paperwhite is too far off yet.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

I got a good Cyclone a few years back. It's all rusty and knackered where the metal spade has hit dirt but it will last a while.

Recently setup a garden 2 seater Swing Chair - just right for sitting outside, feet up, with a beer and a book and not getting toasted.

Currently looking what I am going to have to buy for other people for Christmas....

Cough ....

Brought a preloved kindle keyboard 3G for $60.....

Bloke had brought a fire so passed it down the foodchain....

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Jealous, I wish I had the keyboard again
