> What electrical goods did you buy new

If buying new is a requirement, then it is my digital multimeter which I have bought maybe 20 years ago for $15. It has survived roughly 5-10 batteries mostly because it has no auto-off option and turning on is as simple as to press one button. Everything plastic is already broken - standing support, latches and standard probes. I am planning to replace it as soon as I start anything serious because the display flickers sometimes, probably due to careless usage.
