Today I went to a yard sale. I found the family selling a Rubik, pretty worn in (good) and stickers in perfect condition cube for 75 CENTS!! :tu

Best deal I've got.

And it is perfect for people that I teach to, or share in my rubik's cube club in college. Good deal.
Any others found out a good deal for acube?
 
What's wrong with a Rubik's? I have one good enough to use for multi, and I have made three of them into shape mods ftw.

I'm referring to what I would imagine finding at an old yard sale. The old, stiff, store-bought one's lubed with some of the peanut butter from one the previous owner's lunch five years ago, and probably fading/peeling stickers.

I don't do shape mods, so not for that reason either. Even it it were the best Rubik's DIY out there, I don't see why I would use it over what I already have, so why waste even a few cents?
 
Someone once gave me a 2x3x3 in exchange for my Touch cube, which is kinda better than getting it for fee.

And I still think about the time Shane Roland traded his original Dogic for a Holey Megaminx and a keychain cube...

At US Nationals 2011 got a maru 5x5 for free. You may be wandering how? Well I think it was Tyson Mao who was at the vender and had a Hapanero challenge. The challenge was to eat one and survive long enough to pick a free cube. Saved me $30 and I regret doing it also I wish I recorded it but luckily me mom took some photos and uploaded them to facebook. It was right before lunch and I was one of the first few to do it.
 
Since I stay after during competitions, I typically pick up a few things.

I've gotten Deniz's Gear Cube(which I've then returned), an older Guhong with Cubesmith half-brights(which I traded away for a v2), and a Rubik's brand.

One of my friends also got a Megaminx, but didn't really like it. Because he knew I didn't have one(or maybe he just didn't want it in general :P), he gave it to me as a pseudo-Christmas gift.

Also back in November I was at the Indiana 2011 comp and got a bag of parts that includes some maru keychain cube parts, a 1x1, some yj 3x3 parts, and a broken gear cube which is now fixed but missing some parts. I wish I had the parts the the gear cube to have a working one.
