Nice find, for $5 you probably shouldn't get too many snobs in this thread arguing that you should've gone for a pump-driven machine 🙂
In college, I spent some volunteer time at a used furniture thrift, and the small appliances that came through were often interesting. I ended up spending a few bucks there each time I went. I remember snagging a digital answering machine for my dorm room really cheap, back when tape-based ones still existed.
Yea, half my house came from a thrift store.
