With my income, the $25 specials are about all I can afford. I'm sickened every time I hear of a piece of equipment that was scrapped, when it was something I can use. Most of my stuff today is of the 7000 series scope vintage, with one better digital scope. I also have repaired equipment - before my previous shop was torched, every piece in there needed repairs to make it functional again. I've got a couple of nice pieces now that need work, and trying to figure out what's wrong has been unsuccessful.
Poorer hams often rely on those deals to be able to have decent equipment. Sometimes it's a toss-up of size vs price - for instance my test equipment is in a 8x16 shed and I have to move stuff around to do anything. Just because we're poor does NOT mean that we're somehow incapable or able to contribute to amateur radio.
