What could $999 get you in your respective hobby?

[u/PokojniDomar]

[u/Squiggy_Pusterdump]

About 48GB RAM

[u/OldJames47 → u/Squiggy_Pusterdump]

Wait till Black Friday and it will get you 36 GB of RAM.

[u/Mysterious-Crab → u/OldJames47]

Joke’s on you when I get my 32 GB for Christmas

[u/minnis93 → u/Mysterious-Crab]

Just wait until the AI bubble bursts, retailers will lower the price so much that you'll be able to get 16gb!

[u/hardingd → u/minnis93]

My heart sinking as I realize just how true this is …

[u/Difficult-Cucumber25]

shit load of books

[u/istalri96 → u/Difficult-Cucumber25]

I've gotten back into reading again recently. God books are not cheap I was at a little private bookstore. Vibes were immaculate but the prices were rough. But I would rather support a small business. Granted I can get books 50% from Barnes and Noble my brother works for them so he can get stuff cheaper. Which would be the smarter choice.

[u/probably-not-obama → u/istalri96]

ThriftBooks.com is my best friend.

[u/thearsonistduck → u/probably-not-obama]

oh I need to check this out when I go for my next book buying spree

[u/Rdtackle82 → u/thearsonistduck]

[u/Ta-veren- → u/istalri96]

library the ones you aren't sure about and buy the ones you'll think you'll love.

[u/youcantguess1 → u/istalri96]

Then id say a good rule of thumb might be to buy from b&n when you are going in knowing what you want, and then when you are just wandering and checking out workers suggestions go local

[u/maxineellisar58 → u/Difficult-Cucumber25]

Buying books and actually reading the books you buy are two completely separate hobbies.

[u/aluminumnek → u/Difficult-Cucumber25]

I just want one book and it’s about $1000. These don’t come up for sale very often if at all…

From REMs album, fables of the reconstruction,

"Life and How to Live It" takes inspiration from a book entitled Life: How to Live by eccentric Athens–based author Brivs Mekis.[16] Mekis split his house into two distinct halves and alternated between living in the two until he died.[17] After his death, copies of the book were found; despite these copies being made none had ever been sold or given away, until after his death.

[u/Extreme-Bite-9123 → u/aluminumnek]

I didn’t even consider rarer books I wanted, that would probably be enough to get me New Hampshires favorite son, the Benjamin Harrison trio of books, and a few more

[u/SalemScout]

That's a lot of yarn. 

[u/Sad-And-Mad → u/SalemScout]

I was just thinking of how many crochet projects I could start and abandon halfway through to start another 😂

I’ll finish those blankets one day…

[u/GrouchyPhoenix → u/SalemScout]

I would finally be able to indulge the urge to get some fancy yarn and then a lot of cheaper yarns. Maybe some fancy crochet hooks too.

[u/fuckingskeletor → u/SalemScout]

Was literally just thinking "I couldn buy so much yarn..."

[u/teresajs → u/SalemScout]

Yup, I estimate 4-5 sweaters' worth of really good yarn.  That would keep me busy for over 6 months.

[u/CarlRJ → u/SalemScout]

I know a few friends who would see this and reply "challenge accepted". One who has calculated that she shouldn't by any more yarn because she literally has a lifetime supply now. But she still hears the siren's call of pretty colors.

[u/TheReal_BucNasty]

Gaea's cradle

[u/SyxxFtH8 → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

*3 gold border Gaea's Cradles 🧠

[u/Brilliant-Option-526 → u/SyxxFtH8]

Yes! Love the WC decks.

[u/FreeWatercressSalad → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

Not in 2026! Not even for a damaged one.

[u/Millerdjone → u/FreeWatercressSalad]

My local had a mint one for 650 a couple years ago and I was tempted but figured I'd get a chance eventually....

🥲

[u/somethin_brewin → u/FreeWatercressSalad]

Cheezus, really? I gotta unload my cards.

[u/TheReal_BucNasty → u/somethin_brewin]

Prices have skyrocketed. You can get a damaged cradle for a little under a grand but LP and NM are over

[u/GrinningJest3r → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

Oh fuck. I've got a nm graded gaea's Cradle that I bought for 725 in Jan 2024.

[u/TheReal_BucNasty → u/GrinningJest3r]

Looking at $1600-2k right now.

[u/kingjoey52a → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

I was thinking a couple boxes of Commander Masters

[u/Wraithpk → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

I bought one for like 200 like 10 years ago, sold it for 400 like 6 years ago, and wish I'd kept it, lol.

[u/BetaRayRyan → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

More like a Volcanic Island

[u/Brilliant-Option-526 → u/BetaRayRyan]

This guy Magics.

[u/cbih → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

A nice printer so I can proxy and sell off all my cards!

[u/TheReal_BucNasty → u/cbih]

Mpc brotha

[u/Extra-Yard-2038 → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

That budget is basically an appetizer for a Magic collection.

[u/Holiday_Okra1608 → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

A grand for one land is peak Magic.

[u/AlphaPi → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

Where you getting gaeas crafle that cheap bro

[u/ChefJym → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

The article suggesting Cradle is the best $1000 card is now 6 years old.

[u/TheReal_BucNasty → u/ChefJym]

Just looked. Cheapest on tcg is $1151 for hp

[u/DemonDeacon86 → u/TheReal_BucNasty]

Not one person has been able to tell that my $1.50 proxy isnt real. But ya.... a legit one would be dope

[u/TheReal_BucNasty → u/DemonDeacon86]

I got a real one but with that said proxy away man. Most of my group sold our commander decks and proxied them out. I turned most my decks cash into power 9 and other high end cards. I still love cracking packs but up keeping all my decks was getting expensive. I'm a huge fan of mpc.

[u/interesseret]

A lot of paint, a decent army, or a single leg of a Titan.

Warhammer is both expensive and cheap, at the same time.

[u/MushroomGoats1 → u/interesseret]

Warhammer is like my cheapest hobby. Compared to shooting or car parts....it's very cheap. The secret is to paint every single guy you get. No shameful grey dudes on the board

[u/darkagl1 → u/MushroomGoats1]

But the great grey pile of shame is part of the hobby isn't it?

[u/H4LF4D → u/darkagl1]

It aint my warhammer if i dont have 3 ongoing projects that I surely will get to within the next fiscal year or end of edition, whichever comes last

[u/TheHomeStretch → u/interesseret]

An airbrush setup and moderate pile of shame.

[u/ballin_buddha → u/TheHomeStretch]

I have 5 armies and only 1 has 2k points of painted models. The shame is real

[u/CrowdCon-troll → u/ballin_buddha]

I've had my Warlord for like 5 years now and i just cannot bring myself to touch such expensive pieces. Let alone paint it.

[u/CT-96 → u/interesseret]

I wouldn't call anything in Warhammer cheap. Except the books. A single 15ml pot of paint is almost $10CAD which is insane.

[u/sephirothFFVII → u/CT-96]

Why is the paint so expensive? Couldn't you just take a sample and color match it?

[u/k-to-the → u/sephirothFFVII]

Theoretically sure, the bigger thing is that the models are so small that paints are made with very fine pigment particles. It doesn't need to be the company brand paint for sure, but versions of hobby paints are usually better at thinning out enough to not glob up the details but still get full color coverage.

[u/Khanon555 → u/k-to-the]

A thinned out pot of paint can also cover a ton of models for a long time, if you store it correctly.

[u/FactorOdd9670 → u/k-to-the]

This is so true, craft acrylics just turn into chalky sludge the second you thin them down enough for tiny details. Investing in decent hobby paint saves you so much time and frustration trying to fix clogged scale lines.

[u/Arbiter_89 → u/sephirothFFVII]

A lot of people are giving partial answers. Here's the most complete answer I can write:

For model paints there's several factors.

Finish - most people want a matte finish. Glossy finishes look more like a plastic toy. (Yes they are plastic toys, but they want to look real.)

Pigment - finer pigments are more expensive but mean a smoother layer and more consistent color. You also want an opaque pigment to ensure the color is as true as possible. Cheaper paints are more translucent.

Drying time - you usually want your paint to dry faster so you dont accidentally smudge the paint while its wet

Thickness - you want as thin a paint as possible.

Overall, I think Citadel/Warhammer paints are decent paints and aren't THAT expensive in the US. The price quoted presumably includes free shipping. If you buy on their site it's only $3.87 a pot but you need to pay shipping separately, so if you're buying 3 or more it gets a lot cheaper fast. You can also go to a Warhammer store where they will sell it to you at that price with no shipping required.

That said, Citadel containers are the worst. Some of their whites dry up way too quick, and they really lack options to buy bulk sets.

I think there's valid complaints against Citadel paints, but disagree with anyone who says the paint is "the worst" and I think anyone who says it's $10 CAD a pot isn't showing the full picture.

[u/sriversage → u/sephirothFFVII]

There's more to paint than pigment, most importantly the medium. This wouldn't work unfortunately.

[u/Konvexen → u/sriversage]

Ok but to be fair Citadel paints are overpriced.

You can absolutely get better paints for cheaper than Citadel prices.

[u/Khanon555 → u/Konvexen]

Also to be fair, they are manufactured in the uk.

Where people spend there money can be a factor for some.

Not calling them cheap by any means :)

[u/CT-96 → u/sephirothFFVII]

It depends. For generic colours, you can absolutely buy paints from other brands like Tamiya or Army Painter. But Citadel also has some specific stuff that's harder to find or make yourself like their textured paints and shading glosses.

[u/bloodectomy → u/interesseret]

titan

You could get a warhound with guns and still have enough left over to cover shipping!

[u/professor_throway]

A respectable vintage professional trumpet, a used kind of ok Chinese Euphonium, or the worlds worst tuba.

[u/angrath → u/professor_throway]

As someone looking to buy my son a tuba - how do I do it?? They seem to be priced all over the place!

[u/oryci → u/angrath]

Find a local tuba instructor and ask them what they recommend based on your budget. Don’t assume that you can determine this on your own. Cheap horns are all over the place, they look good but play terribly. If you don’t have the experience go to someone who does.

I play sax professionally, I’m not a brass person and that’d be what I do in this situation.

[u/Azuras_Star8 → u/oryci]

My god a proper sax is smooth as butter.

[u/Raja479 → u/angrath]

What kind of tuba are you looking for? Like, a smaller one just to start them on(a 3/4 size BBb) or are you looking for a four valve horn they could take to college? Or are they looking to pursue tuba seriously?

Yamaha answers most of these and tends to hold their value. You can find them used for under $1000 for a three valve, closer to $2000-$3000 for a four valve. Then their higher end models that play in different keys can get very expensive.

[u/TheBanishedBard → u/professor_throway]

If you rearrange the letters in your display name it says "ass worthy of rope".

Kinky.

[u/professor_throway → u/TheBanishedBard]

Well thanks for giving me a mental image I will never forget.

[u/SappySoulTaker → u/TheBanishedBard]

How does one learn this power?

[u/BirdFarmer23 → u/professor_throway]

Concert or marching?

[u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

on steam? like a trillion game if I time my sales correctly.

[u/A_Uniqueusername444 → u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

A well placed spend on Steam can go far.

[u/ChatnNaked → u/A_Uniqueusername444]

Sim skins/maps

[u/howardhus → u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

ah, the dreaded steam kangaroo.. collecting games IS thr hobby… gotta catch rhem all!!

playing games? sorry, no time

[u/Glad_Case_3183 → u/howardhus]

Steam really does turn buying games into its own little minigame. The backlog just keeps growing while somehow becoming tomorrow’s problem.

[u/FS_Slacker → u/Glad_Case_3183]

I buy games on sale but by the time I get to them, they’re even cheaper

[u/glytxh → u/howardhus]

I believe there are accounts with games valued in the hundreds of thousands?

I’ve only briefly peaked into that world of Steam. Whole other world of madness.

I don’t think my library is even worth half as much as the machine I play them on

[u/Pope_adope → u/glytxh]

Well, there’s the difference between full value and what you actually paid with all the sales. I think my account over the past 15 years has $3k in money spent, but about $3k in money saved

[u/Sunkilleer → u/howardhus]

dont make fun of me because i was smart and bought a game when it was on sale for a dollar... even though ill never play it because its not my type of game.

[u/DMala → u/howardhus]

I’m too cheap to waste money on games I don’t play. On the rare occasions when I buy a game, I play the shit out of it.

Free Epic Games, and GOG games from Amazon Prime, on the other hand…

[u/icedcoffeeeee → u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

Or maybe 16GB of RAM!

[u/NativeMasshole → u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

Or 90% of a Steam Machine.

[u/TheWolphman → u/NativeMasshole]

I wonder how many literal steam machines you could get for $999?

[u/BaconPoweredPirate → u/TheWolphman]

Going with the cheapest kettle on Amazon, you could get 141 of them

[u/Cynthimon → u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

r/patientgamers

[u/LateralEntry → u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

But if you need to build the PC in the first place? Good luck

[u/Geen_Fang → u/Strong-Penguin-Bias]

not to mention humble bundles! 

literally hundreds of games.

[u/redlsms]

A couple of really big (but not obscenely big) LEGO sets...

[u/UnjustlyFramed → u/redlsms]

Which you can definitely find the space for

[u/redlsms → u/UnjustlyFramed]

Oh absolutely...

[u/Kerze → u/redlsms]

Titanic set is in budget with enough left over to get something else really nice.

[u/Flying-Bulldog]

One rim

[u/illit3 → u/Flying-Bulldog]

You're paying the wrong ladies

[u/EstablishmentDue3616 → u/illit3]

dont be stupid! It could be men, too.

[u/Reptilesblade → u/illit3]

Yeah a Grindr account and subscription would get you rims easily for the foreseeable future.

[u/BASE1530 → u/Flying-Bulldog]

Or like 1\4 of one nice rim.

[u/Beard_Hero → u/BASE1530]

I know different people have different definitions of “nice” but in general someone can have a “nice” set for under $16,000

[u/itsjakerobb → u/Flying-Bulldog]

Hopefully a whole wheel?

[u/MeestaJohnnee]

The newest perfect grade unleashed gunpla kit with its led. Even though it is a hobby though I’d never wanna spend anywhere near that amount for a model kit.

[u/Eastcoast_ben → u/MeestaJohnnee]

Was wondering how far I had to scroll before I found one of my own

[u/probsthrowaway2 → u/MeestaJohnnee]

Fellow gunpla enjoyer!!

I’d buy some higher grade kits for sure like perfect or master grade stuff I been eyeballing other than that

I usually stick to hg and rg kits big fan of grunt units too.

I have also been on the hunt for more Armor trooper VOTOMs model kits, I’d probably use that money to import the kits I’m missing tbh.

[u/PotatoBeans]

One mtg hobbit collector booster box and a few booster packs.

[u/SyxxFtH8 → u/PotatoBeans]

Your $1000 is better spent on old school or premodern cards, hold their value way better than the new stuff.

[u/PotatoBeans → u/SyxxFtH8]

But ripping packs is fun! Free $999 definitely getting spent on packs.

[u/LocalConspiracy138 → u/PotatoBeans]

Or one pretty decent commander deck.

[u/PotatoBeans → u/LocalConspiracy138]

Or 100 REALLY good proxy decks.

[u/ByeFL]

999 $1 Comicbooks, or less depending on sales tax in your area.

[u/LilStrug → u/ByeFL]

Maybe your LCS won’t charge tax if it’s $999 paid in cash. That’s how mine does it

[u/omninode]

Fewer rolls of Portra 800 than you would think.

[u/dgtzdkos → u/omninode]

65ish rolls of Velvias 120s / 28ish rolls of Velvia 35mms.

[u/rm-minus-r → u/omninode]

The Velvia shortage is killing me.

[u/CashenJ]

Depends which hobby

Either:

• a new radiator
• 2 or 3 bottles of fragrance
• a set of wheels for my old school BMX

[u/RodgerRodger8301 → u/CashenJ]

Sex Panther?

[u/CashenJ → u/RodgerRodger8301]

60% of the time, it works every time

[u/doFloridaRight → u/RodgerRodger8301]

By Odeon

[u/BuildingArmor → u/CashenJ]

Radiator collector isn't a hobby I expected to run into

[u/CashenJ → u/BuildingArmor]

Lol, there's definitely a lack of context. It's my next purchase for my 1966 Ford Falcon

[u/SergioSBloch]

I have a few hobbies - a decent bass, or a decent guitar,or an interesting but not high end watch, perhaps a lens or accessory for my camera, some old coins? There’s a few possibilities.

[u/SmashPass → u/SergioSBloch]

We should be friends.

[u/16thmission → u/SergioSBloch]

Jesus Christ. These are all my fucking hobbies. Let's get a beer with that other guy who replied.

[u/SergioSBloch → u/16thmission]

There’s an awesome craft brewery a 26 minute drunken stumble from my place - only takes 5 minutes to get there tho

[u/16thmission → u/SergioSBloch]

Let's get the homebrewer from about 30 comments down in too.

[u/heyarkay → u/SergioSBloch]

We are a type. Let’s hang!

[u/BGFalcon85]

A midrange helmet and pair of boots.

[u/StasyaSam → u/BGFalcon85]

Finally found my people lol

Looking at my last purchases: an airbag vest and some smaller stuff for the bikes and me. Like indicators, tank protector, windproof baselayer...

If you gave me 999$/€ right now, it would be a new (discounted) one piece suit.

[u/BGFalcon85 → u/StasyaSam]

Yeah if I was given $999 right now I'd buy a water pack for my jacket and put the rest toward fuel. Not much I need/want except a set of panniers, but the ones I want are more than $1k anyway.

[u/bradshawwwty]

One of four tires for my racecar

[u/CorgisHug]

83 months of Kindle Unlimited...

[u/Rafiks1]

If I use it wisely, some fly fishing gear

[u/dadeac18 → u/Rafiks1]

Or like half of a new top end rod, which is nuts.

A whole lot of bucktail.

[u/Mak333]

999 shares in a $1 stock.

[u/fgtrtdfgtrtdfgtrtd69 → u/Mak333]

$0.21 per share by the end of the year if investing in biopharma

[u/sunliTwave5 → u/Mak333]

the real hobby is watching it go to $0.50

[u/Mak333 → u/sunliTwave5]

Haha, those are the fun days.

[u/fgtrtdfgtrtdfgtrtd69 → u/sunliTwave5]

$ROPE

[u/rideon7]

Top of the line discgolf bag and full of new discs. And a lot of beer and weed. And still have hundreds left over.

[u/EarthNoMore → u/rideon7]

Also- Baskets to practice. Zucca cart. Tickets to local pro tour event. DGN subscription. More discs and racks for discs.

[u/Sealbeater]

An acog

[u/BunjaminFrnklin → u/Sealbeater]

I was gonna say a new suppressor or two, but I wouldn’t say no to an ACOG either.

[u/Sealbeater → u/BunjaminFrnklin]

Suppresors ain’t a bad option either

[u/zwirlo → u/Sealbeater]

Two thirds of an ACOG

[u/Spare-Armadillo-7475]

A decent amount of art supplies, or one-sixth the cost of adding a kiln to my basement studio.

But as a Responsible Adult™️ any unexpected funds go straight to the “old house maintenance” fund, which is a whole other hobby

[u/KyleTheForager]

A really nice bonsai pot

[u/Qverlord37]

A really strong commander deck.

[u/TheChaddest]

A nice watch. Or a gun.

[u/m0viestar → u/TheChaddest]

What would be your choice for both?

[u/Din_Plug → u/m0viestar]

6 Hi-Points and a Casio

[u/m0viestar → u/Din_Plug]

What are you gonna do with the extra $900?

[u/theUnholyVenom → u/m0viestar]

More Hi-Points

[u/technohippie → u/Din_Plug]

Ah, a man of high taste, I see.

[u/drlovespooge → u/Din_Plug]

A man of culture

[u/BuffaloLincolns → u/m0viestar]

What ever watch Tyler Childers is talking about in the song Eatin Big Time

[u/TXGuns79 → u/TheChaddest]

$1k would get a nice addition to my WWII collection. I still need a MAS-36.

[u/Party_Memory8665 → u/TheChaddest]

Tikka

[u/WearingCrowns]

A decent set of irons. Been playing a hand me down set of clubs from age 14 to 34. Bought a used but newer driver from a friend, and got a really nice putter from my father. Dad won the putter from a raffle, but he's left handed and doesn't play golf anymore anyways. My 3 wood and 5 wood are still from the old hand me downs, as well as my wedges except for a lob wedge that I found in the woods.

Friend gave me his old irons and a random 4 hybrid since they actually fit my height, but they are from the 90s as well. My job rewards high performance with points I can spend in an online store, but after doing the math, a free set of Calloway irons will take "top 5" performances every month for about 3 years. I'm actually going for it to save all this money but still get new and current clubs.

Naturally, my idiot golfing self believes that these clubs will lower my scores from mid 90's to mid 80's. One day, no matter what, I will own a new set of clubs only played by me.

[u/rossrifle113]

The Millennium Falcon set 😭

[u/Deaze_]

Either a full low spec custom/pre-built PC or Half of a 32gb RAM kit.

[u/glytxh]

Depends on the hobby

A very nice, if slightly older, microscope

An entry level telescope setup

A shit hot camera lens

about 30,000 vintage sci fi books. most of them would be a bit shit

a nice chunk of outsourced rendering

About 10-20% of a harpsichord

A couple of years of opera and ballet tickets

some good bulk deals for weed

A bunch of synth shit

Goth Drip

[u/Konvexen → u/glytxh]

I've never read a comment and wanted to be friends with someone for so many different reasons at once.

You seem cool.

[u/Unlucky_Disk3225 → u/Konvexen]

I like when people put themselves out there. You also seem cool.

[u/LocalConspiracy138]

A really exotic breed of snake or lizard, not counting the enclosure or lightning or one awesome medium sized bioactive enclosure for a reptile on the smaller side. Maybe one amazing species of female tarantula. Honorable mention to the guy who said one rare mtg card.

[u/Sebaseldiverr]

A ton of good books; a lot of vinyl at a local sale; some great tools and equipment to fix guitars

[u/abernathym]

A really nice set of bicycle wheels

[u/slvrsmth → u/abernathym]

Fred, don't delude yourself.

A grand gets you an okay wheelset. Nice wheelsets start at two. Really nice wheels hover around four thousand for the pair.

Chinese carbon with diy ENVE lettering in whiteout is not "really nice", it's what those of us lacking in dental practices have to settle with.

[u/abernathym → u/slvrsmth]

I meant really nice for me, it's all relative when you aren't a dentist

[u/CharlieFiner]

A LOT of amusement park tickets. I'm a coaster enthusiast.

[u/katiebot5000]

A sweet fuckin' sewing machine

[u/mr207]

A Switch 2, some games, their online membership thing

[u/bmwlocoAirCooled]

New Michelins for my BMW bike. With enough money left over to ride for 3 to 5 months.

[u/slkrds]

A decent used American fender bass

[u/Pathological_RJ]

The Lie Nielsen shoulder plane that I’ve been eyeing and then I’d spend the rest on qualify domestic hardwoods

[u/MrT0rtured]

Some RAM.

[u/Suitable_Egg_882]

32gig ram kit..

[u/AliciaXTC]

Some leather BDSM gear

[u/fgtrtdfgtrtdfgtrtd69 → u/AliciaXTC]

It costs that much to be a leather daddy?

[u/Legion_1392 → u/fgtrtdfgtrtdfgtrtd69]

Good leather is expensive

[u/Lord_rook → u/fgtrtdfgtrtdfgtrtd69]

Not personally into that scene, but if you want high quality custom leather, you're easily looking at hundreds of dollars per piece.

[u/EclecticDreck → u/fgtrtdfgtrtdfgtrtd69]

There is a whole spectrum out there. Want stuff that looks the part but can't really play the part? (Think clothing that is pleather or some plastic-derivative, restraints that wouldn't hold up to a person really trying to get out.) That's fairly cheap. You could outfit a whole party with a thousand dollars.

Now if you get into the other end of the spectrum, you might be talking custom made clothing with countless little features that can actually stand up to whatever abuses you might subject to it. You probably just increased the price by an order of magnitude. Now it's one person can have a reasonably well outfitted kit that looks and plays the part.

[u/TheMazoo]

A mid range garage brew setup for 5 gallon batches of beer that will last decades.

[u/HispanicAtTheDisco94]

A very good mid range guitar or a very reliable firearm.

[u/ali_j_ashraf]

In ham radio, a pretty nice radio or antenna. In birding, a pretty nice scope or plane ticket to somewhere with a bunch of birds you haven’t seen yet

[u/mhwnc → u/ali_j_ashraf]

Key word is nice radio OR antenna 🤣

An MPC Live 3

Edit: it would be a down payment through a certain music equipment vendor

[u/Treeslam]

Cz P-01.

[u/OldGamerX79]

Ammo... Lots of ammo Soni could practice and compete more. Steel Challenge, Rimfire challenge, and pcsl are my hobbies and that would get me a few months.

[u/Mauryos]

A new tablet for drawing, exercising equipment, books I guess? If I cannot find them online.

[u/JNorJT]

lots of video games

[u/Sunny16Rule]

A used canon 5dMk4 and 50mm ef1.8 , heck you’d even have enough left for a decent flash or strobe . Would blow you away.

[u/downtide]

A Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 fountain pen and four bottles of matching ink.

[u/JabroniSandwich99]

Another 3d printer or a shitload of filament
