Great price on a decent ADSB (1090mhz optimized) receiver stick. RadarBox24 dropped their price from $39.95 earlier this year and they immediately sold out on the website. They charge $7.95 shipping, or you can get it at same price with free Prime shipping by buying it through Amazon.
Bonus portion of the deal – you get free ‘Business’ membership to several flight tracking sites/apps when you share your received ADSB feed with them. (RadarBox, FlightAware, FlightRadar24, etc).
From manufacturer:
"The all-new ADS-B FlightStick is RadarBox’s latest ADS-B receiver USB dongle. The receiver comes with major hardware improvements, which include an integrated filter, a preamplifier and built-in ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection. All of these changes translate into better performance and increased coverage. Plus, you will not only be able to track flights with the AirNav RadarBox application for Windows, but also with the RBFeeder client for ARM-based devices. Those of you who have a Raspberry Pi can now feed data to RadarBox. We’re very excited that many more of you can now start sharing your data with us."

You will need an antenna. You can buy one or build a great one – even out of spare/unused TV coax cable. Here’s a starter guide:
