I got a  mouse pad for free when i bought my previous mouse (does that count?) 

 

That's the best component deal i've gotten.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

i got a kingston v300 240gb for like less than $40 brand new

V300 are bad drives. They have slow read and write speeds.

My monitor, Acer XB240H 144Hz, non-g-sync. Friend of mine bought it in error when trying to buy the g-sync model, but the website he bought it from had both of them listed with exactly the same details (both listed as being g-sync) and he thought the cheaper choice was used/refurb maybe. Instead of emailing them, he bought it ... and then was very disappointed with himself... and then bought the correct one without returning this one (it would've meant returning it to the Czech Republic) as he'd just finished his new build and was feeling pretty impatient after having a few vital parts take wayyyy longer than they should've done to arrive.

 

So I bought it off him for £90 + my old monitor (an Acer 21.5" Psomethingsomething from 2012)

 

Bargain of the year :D

I didn't make a deal yet BUT my friend from Sweden wants to "donate" to me his old PC parts. I have just to pay for shipping & I gonna get a i5-3570K, a Mobo that I forgot the name of, a HD7770 2GB GPU (gonna get a HD7850 2GB from him too, but that in some time) & a 600W PSU. He has no RAM nor a HDD for me, so I gonna do that stuff myself [emoji1]

My California Headphones. They were normally 60-70$ but I got them for 15$ off of Newegg and they are the best headphones I have ever owned.
