I've recently bought a used Apple TV (4K). Fantastic device, highly recommend this one.
under $100?
Used from kleinanzeigen (Germany). I paid around 90 euros. But it looks brand new :)

#233New soles and overall cleaning + disinfecting of my Vivobarefoot winter boots. I'm so happy they came up with a repair programme for many of their models, it prolongs the EOL of my foot ware by many years https://www.revivo.com/how-we-repair . It's $ 104.53 as of this posts currency exchange but I think it still counts?
Thanks for this, I've been needing winter boots but hate how much tread they have as I am a minimalist and my feet always end up so sore from them.
You're welcome. If you are in search of new minimalist winter boots, they also offer a secondhand shop with all shoes refurbished and disinfected. I bought hiking boots there for 1/3 of the price and apart from a few scratches in the leather they are top. They would've gotten the scratches anyways, so good deal for me.

140W Anker charger: like an Apple laptop charger, but with 4 ports instead of one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFCH3C4W

#235Seki Edge nail clippers. They're just so much sharper and more pleasant to use than your average drug store nail clippers, you can really feel the quality. I can barely stand regular nail clippers now.
Yeah, they're nearly £50, a bit absurd for nail clippers...
$15-20 on US Amazon. Sucks that it's so much more expensive in the UK.

#236A set of Wera lasertip screwdrivers. Or, a Knipex Cobra pair of pliers.
I love my wera kraftform

#237Thermal underwear. Entering the 10th year of a 30 euro Helly Hansen long underpants that keeps me warm half the year. Raspberry Pi 4 that served as my daily driver for around three years. A couple of dumbbells that got me started with weight training, and kept me going during covid. Together with the basic equipment that I later bought, it saved me hundreds and hundreds of euros in gym memberships. Best purchase unde…
Daily driving a Raspberry Pi 4 as what? If you, don't mind me asking
As my normie machine to watch Youtube, browse the internet, etc. And as my dev machine as well, including programming and editing images/videos.
I also wrote a blogpost about it: https://www.heyhomepage.com/?module=blog&link=1&post=4

#239I bought a lithium ion jump pack on Ali express for $20. Came in a nice case, starts a car if the battery is dead. Takes up less room than jumper cables. Could be a lifesaver.

#240Rechargable, motion sensing led strips for inside my wardrobe. Not a big thing but improved my ability to find things no-end. The only issue is they don't turn on when it is light enough to see and we slightly disagree on how light that is. Ceramic head tweezers. ~$3 on AliExpress, indispensable for some tasks. An import die grinder that cost about the same as a new power switch for my Dremel. More powerful, better s…
Second the rechargeable motion sensing led strips! Dime a dozen on Ali Express. I have them in all the hallways in my house, garden shed, at the front door so I am not fumbling with my keys in the dark. If you mount them with the supplied adhesive magnets you can take them with you as a torch, feels like you are using a minecraft torch.
I bought a couple and liked them so I bought 4 more.
