I recently got a 100 foot 14 ga extension cord in brand new condition  
for $3 at an estate sale. One of the plug's prongs had been broken off  
so they thought it was worthless. I bought a replacement plug for  
about $3 and installed it. All of my extension cords have been  
acquired this way. Used old tools to replace the plug, too!

The general public has no clue about any kind of repair.
