For example I got a big ass 3DTV for cheap while everyone seems to abandon the format, so I get to enjoy it as where when it came out I couldn’t afford it. What other tech has dropped tenfold in price, are there any superior headphones without the latest noise canceling or other cool stuff that’s no longer desirable but still offers quality? I regularly roam second hand markets and am always on the lookout. Maybe some older kitchen appliances that are out there for cheap that have now been replaced by appliances that are designed to fail ….

    What decade old tech has dropped immensely in price but is still great to use today?

      not the answer you’re looking for, but i’m constantly shocked at how affordable
      airfare is compared to 10/15 years ago. it’s awesome.

      Memory. What used to be gigantic and cost billions can now be grabbed at walmart for the cost of lunch and fit inside your pocket

      This is fairly niche but certain music tech items, liked older midi controllers, have dropped significantly in price. Same thing with audio interfaces. They won’t be quite as good as the newer models but you’re often better off with an older device from a quality brand than a no-name device.
