Most expensive hobby item you've purchased?

[XxXMetalheadXxX]

I stumbled upon this article:

And I was thinking about how much money I've spent on hobby items but not a whole lot of stuff fully interests me and I don't always have a lot of money to throw around. Most expensive thing would be my guitar amplifier - $500
So how much money have you spent on a single hobby item? And was it worth it?

My computer has maybe $2600 worth of hardware in it, but the most expensive single item in it is the $400 graphics card. Technically I also have a $3000 tv, but I don't think that counts.

[bmah]

Was around $475.

I suppose you can also count apparatus like my DSLR camera, but I haven't really developed photography as a hobby yet. The DSLR I can't remember but comes out to over 1k with accessories.

same thing as izzy, I spent $1500 on my current computer

outside of just pure computing, I couldn't say lol, maybe a $80 midi controller

[rushyrulz]

$80 for a keyboard

[Izzy]

I guess outside of general electronics and more actual hobbies I've spent $120 on a single figure before. Most being about $35 totaling around $1000. I've essentially run out of shelf space so I've hit my limit for now.

Who wouldn't spend $120 on their waifu?

[icontrolyourworld]

$140 mechanical keyboard (daskeyboard brown switches) (collectively i've probably spent about 400-500 on all my keyboards)
$1000 plasma TV

League of Legends $???

[One Winged Angel]

my guitar + rig was about $6k total

[choof]

didn't know you had a guitar
let's make some shoegaze

One time I bought a pound of Girl Scout cookies for $3600 for personal use so probably that

I don't remember exactly how much I paid, but the models and terrain pieces for Warhammer 40K cost a quite a bit.

[Izzy]

My sister used to be one of the main distributors for girl scout cookies in our area many years ago and after they failed to sell half of them or so my parents would just buy up the remaining crates of them so we would end up with like 700 dollars of girl scout cookies that lasted months.

If it's a job I'd still consider it a hobby because you were probably doing it before you made it a job.

well i'm a big fan of cowboy guns, so i got a single six in 357 magnum, so i can shoot that and 38 spec which is a little bit cheaper.

what kind of guns do you like/what are you looking for in a gun?

[reuben_tate]

Leonid, give us pictures of that handmade puzzle

As for me, the most expensive thing I've bought is my laptop three years ago for a little less than $700. After that would probably be my phone and the Wii-U I just bought for $200 each.

this isnt expensive or exotic lol



my most expensive is probably my insane desktop setup. I keep pouring money into it, initial build was 1500, I've since added 850$ worth of new parts (updated graphics card, ssd, more hard drives) and around $1000-$1200 in peripherals (a few mechanical keyboards, studio monitor speakers, 2 27" monitors, etc)

so thats a grand total of around $3500 unless I added it up wrong

Yeah, it's called getting it directly from the source in San Francisco, instead of paying the heavily taxed prices that come with it going out of state. Would've been in the 5k range most anywhere else, it was most definitely exotic as fuck. Don't talk to me about weed bro lol

[Izzy]

That is quite the expensive hobby. I don't think I could ever bring myself to spend so much on something consumable.

It's a toss up between my most expensive keyboard and my headset. For a single keyboard it was around $200 or so, or all my keyboards..around maybe $500-600. The headset was about $150 i think.
