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

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.
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.
Either a new roland fantom 06 or an audio interface and some expensive DAW.
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.
Almost endless quantities (for me anyway) of 3d printing filament and small electronic parts.
A couple pieces niche test equipment that I'll ude once a year.
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
All you need to start playing Standard, Pioneer and maybe Modern in Magic the Gathering. Or like maybe half a Legacy deck.
In my other hobbies which are rebuilding with old lego by hand and imagination, baking and reading a grand will keep me good for a year. Or 5. Depends on motivation and how many free books I pick up.
A few years ago I finally sold my assortment of still-sealed merch I was given during my time at WotC (Phyrexia through Innistrad). It fetched almost $5k. Still, it's hard to believe a grand won't buy a thoroughly awesome legacy deck. Never really was a player myself tho and I haven't kept up with current prices at all, so I believe it.
Just cheked in on MTG goldfish, the price of land is too damn high!
Funny story - we used to have little in-house tournaments after work before a release, which I sometimes played in just for fun - I sucked at the game. But one time I was literally walking into the tournament room and just decided nah, not tonight, and went home. Found out the next day, everybody who participated in that one received a free Black Lotus.
Whilst my grow light is rather good, there are upgraded options I could take advantage of. For my small sized grow area I could try my hand at a small rDWC setup, a new light, and an automated system for persistently maintaining VPD (perhaps one of those ACFinity ones with the app, or a similar sort of thing).
Two new hobbies to keep me in the reality^tm^.
for the twisted
It's just art and music. Plus a likely revival of old skill.
1L flasks, dimroth condenser, heating mantle, heating plate, materials to build an electric kiln, if i have anything left i'd use it on chemicals
and i'm probably already overbudget, home chemistry is fucked price-wise, we're lucky to have synthware for all our glassware needs but for equipment you either diy it or go broke (a good hotplate is ~500$ new, 200$ used in bad conditions)
One seat.
Two tires.
Part of an air conditioning kit.
Not much really. Expensive hobby.
Backpacking - Either one really swanky sleep system (the full Zenbivy ultralight), or perhaps one crazy expensive ultralight tent like a Durston, or if we're going budget, an entire setup of basic gear including backpack, tent, cook system, sleeping bag and pad, etc. Everything needed to backpack you could buy for under 1000€ to get started.
Lots and lots of games, either boardgames or digital. Or a better computer.
A lot of gardening supplies.
A mtg cube; all sleeved in a nice box. Endless replayibility with friends with a few updates every year.
It's the dream.
Cube..?
A cube is usually 360-720 magic the gathering cards that can be used to draft a deck, normally 8 people will form 3x15 card "packs" which they will pass around and take a card.
A cube is often a Singleton format, so every card is different; but there's a huge amount of ways they can be put together for a unique experience.
That's really interesting... are Cube's coloured or is that in the skill of drafting to keep your draft in one or two colours? Are Lands and then brought in separately?
You can do anything. I've been toying around with making a black and green cube where the players can pick the side of life or death and get a bonus for sticking to one colour for example.
But generally they're 5 colours. High powered cubes will include a very strong set of lands to help facilitate the draft, such as the 10 alpha duals, the 10 shock lands, 10 triomes and 10 fetchlands. They're usually picked at a high priority. (The expensive lands will probably be proxies) As with all drafts, basics are added for free after drafting.
You can also build a cube to recreate a draft format, such as Innistraad which to buy a box is very expensive, but 1 of each rare, 2 of each uncommon, and the rest commons can recreate the classic experience.
A pair of running shoes and the remainder will be blown on physio sessions.
Either a guitar.. or a gpu
A fuckton of Bionicle parts. Perhaps even enough for a full mask collection, if I find the right people.
Entrance and accommodation at a dancing festival.
… 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.
About three or four fountain pens I've been planning to buy some day. Im not attracted to the really expensive a one yet.
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..
A hole in the water you can throw money into
An enclosed core XY 3D printer with a material changing system with a built in filament dryer.
The Bambu Lab P1S is a crazy good deal. If you get it with the older AMS that doesn’t do filament drying, it’s only €800.
There are some issues with Bambu Lab and their proprietary nature. But I’ve very much loved my P1S, and while I’ve tinkered with and upgraded it quite a bit, I’ve never NEEDED to the same way I did with older 3D printers (other than standard maintenance).
You can get Prusa’s Core One for a bit over the stated budget, but only if you do the assembly yourself. Which is fun! But you also don’t get the multiple material system included in that price.
