Tried a cheap solar fountain pump from a garage sale and it actually works

I picked up this little plastic pump for five bucks, stuck it in my birdbath, and it's been running for a solid week now without stopping. I figured it would die after a day, but it's still making a nice little trickle that the birds seem to love. Has anyone else had a random cheap find work out way better than expected?

Honestly, that's the best feeling. You expect total junk and instead you get a workhorse. My garage sale solar light lasted three summers before it gave up, looked like it was made of melted plastic. It's like these things are built to spite the big box stores. Enjoy your free water show while it lasts.

Wish I shared your luck, but my cheap finds always die fast.
