Picked up a used thermal camera at a pawn shop for $80 last weekend

I was looking for cheap test gear and found a FLIR One that was dusty but working. Plugged it into my phone and spotted a failing PSU cap on a client's old desktop before it blew. Has anyone else had luck with secondhand diagnostic tools for the shop?

...so my buddy snagged a used logic analyzer at a flea market for twenty bucks. He used it to find a dead clock line on an old TV that everyone said was unfixable. Paid for itself after that one job, easy.

Got one myself @mason_ward, cheap logic analyzers save more than they cost.
