A good number of games on my PC.
Anywhere from 3-100 books of sheet music depending on the books.
A bunch of used blu-rays.
A ton of used records.
A new set of speakers for my record and/or home theatre setup(s).
A new amp for my record setup.
A new pre-amp for my record setup.
A little over half the parts for a new gaming PC.
Around 3-5 vintage watches for me to fix up.
Some new tools for fixing up vintage watches.
About 7-8 pocket knives.
A new kitchen knife set.
Some new pots and pans.
Does alcohol count as a hobby? If so then 5-10 bottles of scotch.
Shit, I have a lot of hobbies. No wonder I have no money. There’s probably stuff I’m forgetting too. Damn.
Two surf boards, you only need one and can fix it pretty cheaply for like 20 bucks, but having a lot of surfboards is nice
1000€ (roughly $1600 CAD) would be a nice down payment on a decent cargo bike like the Yuba Mundo Lux.
well, my hobby is collecting posters. so probably a lot.
Almost endless quantities (for me anyway) of 3d printing filament and small electronic parts.
About like 10 of the must have flashlights or a few good customs. Or one fourth of some really extreme ones.
Nice I’m a huge fan of fleshlights too.
Either a new roland fantom 06 or an audio interface and some expensive DAW.
A couple pieces niche test equipment that I’ll ude once a year.
Less than one collector booster box of cards from the latest set…
A new practice basket. A new stack of practice putters. A cart. With plenty left over for me to get a few more backups for some of my favorite discs.
A low-uptime server to backup my current one
Or a really crazy sex toy maybe, depends on how responsible I’m feeling
… my favorite hobby “this week”
A basic road bike I guess? 😅
*hi-fives in serial hobbyist that also just got into bicycles*
(except there’s been a heat advisory where I live for the past week so I can’t ride safely 😭)
Ah! Same here… I just went 20 minutes really early in the morning 🤣
The wind is good when you’re moving but as soon as you stop for a red light… you die…!
*gets run over bc i didn’t want to stop and lose all my speed and the airflow keeping me uncooked*
2 years of yoga classes.
Or
All of the garden beds, fencing, and good soil I got for the garden.
1L flasks, dimroth condenser, heating mantle, heating plate, materials to build an electric kiln, if i have anything left i’d use it on chemicals
and i’m probably already overbudget, home chemistry is fucked price-wise, we’re lucky to have synthware for all our glassware needs but for equipment you either diy it or go broke (a good hotplate is ~500$ new, 200$ used in bad conditions)
If you already have a good computer, that much money could outfit an entire home music recording studio with decent gear, especially if you buy good used gear, which is easily available:
A couple of good super-budget guitars from Harley Benton (a Strat clone and a Les Paul clone), for about $300 (new).
A good Yamaha acoustic guitar, $100.
A bass, $75.
An interface, to get the music into the computer, $50.
A basic MIDI controller, $30.
A good electronic keyboard with weighted keys, $100.
Microphone, $75.
Headphones, $50.
Electronic drum machine, $50, or use the pads on the MIDI controller, or voices on the keyboard.
DAW - Reaper is free, and works great.
That’s approximately what I spent on my studio, and everything works great, and sounds terrific…
