remember those "dvd" players where the dvd was about the size of a full size record/vinyl?
I'm assuming you're talking about laserdisc players. LD was popular on some level for quite a few years, however the price of the players keep them from going mainstream. Believe it or not there is still a small group of LD enthusiast out there.

Yes! That's it. Thank you. I'm not fully awake yet, even if it is almost 930. Hmm. I wish I had known those enthusiasts when I still had mine. We could've done a movie exchange and take turns letting everyone use them.

2 years ago, I bought the electric sweeper from Walmart for $10.00. I bought it because it looked pretty, it was pink! It never worked right. I should have brought it back.
I bought the cheap vacuum they had last year and only used it once. I think I will keep it in my camper in case I need it.

the name is escaping me at the moment. but i bought one of those on BF years and years ago. thinking it was a great deal. had a rebate too. well the rebate never showed. and the thing never caught on so i had a bugger of a time finding movies for it.
ended up selling it at a swapmeet a few years ago after finally giving up hope.

Laser Disc player? I can't remeber what those were called but I had an aunt & uncle that owned a Curthis Mathis store. They had one of those players and crates of movies at the time...
My worst buy, luckily was cheap! Wal-mart always sells some small kitchen appliances for $3-$4 - well none of them seem to work! Luckily I only a bought a couple. Ended up throwing away a couple "choppers" cause all they did was turn vergatables into mush mash.
Oops. Does that mean the $3.88 hand mixer I bought this morning is a dud? DS19 wanted one for his apartment and this looked like a cheap option, but maybe not. I guess I'll give him the receipt and he can return it if it doesn't work.

Some people are like slinkies ~
Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

It may not be a dud. I bought Wal-Mart's cheap crock pot and mixer four years ago and they both still work great.
