Lately, I've been immensely enjoying buying up last-gen's overpriced gimmicky hardware for dirt cheap. I'm typing this from a top-of-the-line late-model 12" MacBook (the one with only a single USB-C port) that I got for $430, probably a fourth of what it cost when new. If anything it's even better to use now than when it was new, since the USB-C and wireless ecosystems have both matured so much since it was released. It makes for a perfect second laptop, just like all the review outlets said it would've been if it weren't for the price. And like the article says, the process of finding it on eBay and waiting for it to arrive was just as satisfying as if I'd bought it new.
I also got an LG G8X and its folding screen attachment for less than $200. I can't wait for the Galaxy Fold 2 to be less than $500, that's probably what I'll go for next.
