So there's these Amazon return stores everywhere that look like permanent flea markets. Walking around I saw this little guy for 5$, an external Bluray writer. Not bad, not bad. The QR code just links to a short manual. edit: it's a Matshita BD-MLT UJ-260 according to device manager.
With the sheer amount of stuff, someone will figure out a way to make money from it. Although with the rents and city taxes I have no idea how they make money in Montreal selling LED garden hoses and mismatched bedspreads for 10$.
