The new condition Aukey USB-C 2-Slot Card Reader that reads full size SD and microSD memory cards continues to be on sale for $2 at Amazon, sold by Aukey Direct with the order fulfilled by Amazon.

AmazonBasics Head Strap Camera Mount for GoPro for $5.48

Don’t tell the Amazon price bots, this is not an Add-On item, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping or you can get a $1 “no rush credit” if you select the slow shipping option.
