Rant: guy at the Euclid Ave flea market told me to buy the stuff nobody else even picks up
He had a whole table of junk, and I asked about a $5 lamp, and he just laughed and pointed at a box of tangled extension cords under the table. He said everyone digs through the shiny stuff and walks right past the cords, and I ended up with six of them for $3 total. Tested them all at home and four still work fine. Has anyone else had luck digging in the pile nobody bothers with?
