What can I buy on the internet for a dollar?

I am looking for sites like www.eyeslipsface.com, where (almost) everything costs one dollar. Are there any other sites out there that have products that only cost one dollar?

Not exactly what you asked for, but DealExtreme has free shipping on most (all?) items, and they have a bunch of geeky stuff under $2.00. (Geeky in a GOOD way).

Tons of used books on Amazon are a buck or less. Shipping may squash your bargain-joy, though.

You can use the Amazon Filler Item Finder to look for products at any price (including sub-dollar) to fill up a $25 order to qualify for free shipping.

Most things at Ichiban kan cost around a dollar. They have lots of neat random stuff, including lots of useful kitchen gadgets for cheap.

I'm not sure if you're counting ephemera like MP3s but not to neglect the obvious, $.99 or less is kind of the standard a la carte price for a digital download of a tune tune on iTunes, Amazon, and various indie outfits and solo artists.

P.S. You're doing tags wrong.

Sometimes crafters/artists on Etsy.com choose to offer an item for free. They call it "paying forward", I think? Depending on the size of said item, you just might be able to get in under the dollar mark for shipping costs.

Meta_eli: You, sir, have earned that dollar!
nanojath: Fixed. Thanks for the info.

Thanks folks, keep 'em coming. I was really looking for tangible items, not so much on the downloads side. Otherwise, these are great!

There are some knitting and crochet patterns on Ravelry for $.99. And they're PDF, so no shipping!

woot.com if you happen to catch a crappy bag.

In fairness, Bags of Crap at Woot will cost $8, else the user does it wrongly.
