    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

    Admission to all the folk dances I would visit in a year as well as the localish festivals OR admission and basic-mid range gear for a LARP fest

        I go for multi day camping festivals, so it would probably be enough for admission, 2 sets of an under layer, an outer layer, a warm layer, and shoes. If you only have one outfit, you’ll have a bad time.

        But if you know where to find cheap larp gear, please let me know.

    My favorite hobby is piracy… so…

    Idk… like 200 months of VPN with Mullvad I guess?

    Far cheaper than actually paying like 5 subscription services and also have to deal with ads. yaRrr 🏴‍☠️

    Or a pair of boots, a great backpack, hiking trousers, helmet, harness and a “via ferrata cable kit”.

    About one-fourth of a top-tier professional video card, or a whole -almost top-tier- consumer card. Or a relatively decent factory-made classical guitar. That being said I’d probably go for a extrawide capo to fit my ten-string instead. And then buy coke with the remaining 950$. Regular, not diet

    similar with coffee. it could just get you an espresso machine, or he’ll just even a metal tamp. fucking crazy people those espresso drinking heathens. sips expensive bean juice

    Composer here, I could grab quite a lot! There are multiple shops in a 2.5 hour drive-radius from me that sell used instruments and audio equipment for dirt cheap. I bagged a $700 audio interface for $100 - just a single hunge! I could probably start an Elephant 6-grade recording setup with a thousand.

    My two main hobbies are amassing wealth and being bad at finance so it probably gets me about 500€.

    A mid range set of motorbike gear (dirt or road) or a very cheap registrable motorbike.

    Alternatively a number of interesting secondhand cameras/lenses, the number ranging from one to many depending on what exactly. I’ll admit I have actually spent near that much on two backs for my 1960s era Hasselblad so you don’t even necessarily get a whole camera…

    About like 10 of the must have flashlights or a few good customs. Or one fourth of some really extreme ones.
