Had to do a quick conversion search to make sure roughly how much that would be, and I could have a day like the fairly recent day I bought a pawn shop acoustic guitar, pack of picks, and a guitar stand maybe around 10 times.

I could also, probably, head over to a CD shop I really like and buy probably close to 100 CDs ( probably much less than 90 because tax, but that's still a lot ).

I could go to an electronics shop and get their opinion and help on upgrading my desktop motherboard, alongside upgrading to a used, few years older ( probably 2020-21 because I don't do much that would kill it ) model graphics card if I could find a good one somewhere like eBay.

I could try to collect a physical copy of every single non-arcade, launched in America Sonic game on console. Console not included for some of them because they're too expensive or I don't care about them for the case of anything past xbox360 or ps3. Though, I imagine the Master System titles would be pretty expensive, so IDK how that would go.

Either that, or I would love to cheap out and just pay some people who are willing to do a copyright infringement by making some Tails plushies based on his SatAM/Adventures cartoon design/personality. Would probably be a lot cheaper and just as cool. Fulfills my hobby of having a ton of plushies/stuffed animals and be Sonic related, so bonus points to me.

I could wait for the next Steam sale and get tons of games to add to my backlog but never actually get around to. Even with my somewhat picky nature, I'm fairly certain I'd find tons of games to purchase.

I could probably get even better headphones than my already pretty good quality beats to really up my music listening. Pair that with a pretty good audio playback device and I'd be in heaven... or accidentally make myself deaf and wanna die.

I could get the remaining manga from the Bakuman series I like and, depending on price and volumes, probably get the remainders of Soul Eater ( I think I've only got maybe volumes 1-2 ).

I could buy a metric ton of snacks and foods from a nearby import store and an Asian market.

Hell, I could probably take a couple lessons for that guitar I bought so that way I can learn the proper way to play.

Edit:

I could also expand my dice collection and playing card collection. I would love to have a ton of decks of cards. Especially some ones where the cards are different shapes, like these little leaf shaped cards I currently own.

5 good 45 min lessons with top tier coaches or 7 to 10 lessons with local coaches. So... Depending where you are in the journey, maybe 6 or 8 months of supplemental coaching beyond regular membership, floor fees, etc. Or it could get you like 1/3 of a costume for a lady.

I've been out of that hobby for awhile, but in my new "hobby" it will cover 2 weeks of daycare.

It'll almost buy me three quarters of an 8 heddle loom, or buy me a nice benchtop milling machine to make said loom (and many other things).

It'll buy a really great larp outfit, a barely acceptable reenactment outfit, or half of a suit of plate armor for either.

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.

[–] bent@feddit.dk 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

One seat.

Two tires.

Part of an air conditioning kit.

Not much really. Expensive hobby.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

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).

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

well, my hobby is collecting posters. so probably a lot.

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

About three or four fountain pens I've been planning to buy some day. Im not attracted to the really expensive a one yet.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Either a new roland fantom 06 or an audio interface and some expensive DAW.

[–] Surenho@lemmy.wtf 1 points 3 weeks ago

Entrance and accommodation at a dancing festival.

[–] damdy@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A mtg cube; all sleeved in a nice box. Endless replayibility with friends with a few updates every year.

It's the dream.

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Two new hobbies to keep me in the reality^tm^.

for the twistedIt's just art and music. Plus a likely revival of old skill.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

A pair of running shoes and the remainder will be blown on physio sessions.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

43 kilos of leather offcuts

[–] sparcipx@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

1000€ (roughly $1600 CAD) would be a nice down payment on a decent cargo bike like the Yuba Mundo Lux.

[–] Tinks@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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.

A new hobby doer, computer.
