Compared to this crowd of sluggers, I only hit singles and bunts!

Best deals includes:

$10 for a bag 'o parts which included a Huret Jubilee RD, a pair of Universal 68 calipers, Suntour barcons, and other goodies.

Over the years, a couple of Wilburt versa vises that bring 10X purchase price on ebay.

A milk crate full of 15 or so Euro quill, old school BMX, and other stems for $5 each.

And Happy, a priceless little boy and faithful companion for eleven years! Free from a friend, who thought he was a truant at 14 months.


EDIT
I would add that my personal riding fleet of Treks have all been a deal because I enjoy them. Cost ranges from $25 to $225. It includes:
1984 520
1985 620
1986 520 Cirrus
1988 360
1996 850 Single Track (bought new, not a bargain of course)
1997 930 Single Track
1992 700 Multi-Track
