Did you mean "unplaning"?

Or perhaps unplanning. I wanted it to be a play the phrase "planned obsolescence" but its like I said in my post its not a good url. Combining a word that doesn't exist with a word that is difficult to spell probably breaks a lot of the guidance given for good urls. I am open to suggestion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

How about noobsolence or nobsolence?

I can't check your site because it's throwing an application error, but Ali Express has many sub-1USD things, even with postage, and also has an affiliate scheme. A propos nothing, the cheapest thing I've found, ordered, had delivered and found useful was a Raspberry Pi camera mount for 0.19GBP (~0.27USD) shipped. Astonishing and a bit shameful. http://www.aliexpress.com

I've written a blog post on that very subject. Turns out you can have a $0.03 item mailed to you, including shipping, from China! http://romain.goyet.com/articles/free_shipping_from_china/

But you do have a have a lot of patience. It seems to be getting a lot slower. I just hit a new record: An item shipped on November 25th arrived last week to Canada.

It looks like you have some things counting as less than one dollar when they are really $undefined -- specifically, video streaming shows from Walmart. Here is the HTML of one of them: Doctor Who: Season 7, Part 2 (2013) Price: $undefined

Nice catch! Thanks

Site is down but based on the domain and your description, I like where your head is at. Limiting it to $1 items might be too low IMO. One place I enjoy browsing is this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonunder5

It's too hidden I know but if you open the hamburger menu at the bottom, you can choose $1, $2, $5, $10, or $25
