I can't think of a whole lot I've bought for under $5 recently. There was the batch of 3 truly awful T206s I sold here a few years ago when I joined that came in a box of stuff I bought for $10.
Of course, having collected long enough there's plenty of stuff I got for under $5.
Before you get all jealous, remember that means I'm also becoming old enough to have the random aches and pains that come with age.
It also means I passed on thousands of things at under $5 that I probably should have bought.
