Current Events > Besides gaming, which hobbies do you like spending a lot of money on?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like collecting rare comic books and Transformers.

Assuming you specifically mean video games in the title, I spend an obscene amount on roleplaying books, dice, and various accessories such as miniatures/coins, reference cards, and other assorted props. No costumes though, I'm not that far gone yet

Cooking (both home and restaurants)

Travelling, so trains/hotels etc

I like maintaining my PC, in the way some people might maintain their car

Golf. Although I haven't played in a few years.
I plan on going back to the range when it cools off in November.
I had previously bought a full set of hybrids and some wedges.
Yeah, just me and my 7 iron at the range..

Is gambling a hobby?

I fucking love my 7 iron.

I've gotten 4 birdies in my time golfing and every single one was from teeing off with my 7 iron on a par 3.

Past 3 years was collecting headphones and iems. I like comparing them. Spent around 30 grand so far. Used to post on /hpg/ all day about my opinions on them but stopped since i disagree with a lot of the other user's opinions. Same case with headphones subreddit. Im thinking of purchasing more iems/headphones in the future since there are still a lot i have to try out.

Hobby and spending money on? Definitely Lego!

I usually spend about $50-$70 monthly on Legos. Yet for my bday and holiday seasons, that's where I spend a lot of $$$$$$$$$$. Next month is my bday so i'm expecting to spend lots of $$$$$ hahaha.

guns, especially now with ammo prices and especially if you like to personalize them/tinker with them. those grips dont feel good, gotta change them out. dont like the normal 3-dots, better get fiber. that slide stop is too small, need a larger one. better get 3 different holsters cause the last two didnt work for me. oh wait its got a rail, well now i need to get a light to put on it. Oh its got a optics cut too, but do i realy need an optic on a handgun? (yes, i do). or hell i dont like the way the controls dont match the slide or frame so i better replace them. Oh they dont make them any more? well i guess ill pay 2x for them on ebay cause i reeeeally want them. not to mention cleaning supplies, storage, range gear (which is a list in of itself) ect. if you wanted to you could turn an $800 AR15 into the price of a great used car.

Guns can be expensive but there are plenty people with stock Glocks, ar-15s etc that are shooting better than people with expensive bullshit on them because they put all of that money into ammo and classes.

All you need on a pistol is a red dot, suppressor height sights and a white light. All you need on a rifle is an optic, sling, and white light.

Collecting 8tracks.

Radios, mostly. But I've attained all that I've really wanted or needed over the past several years so I don't spend nearly the money on it now.

The occasional book, fishing supplies, older tools that I collect take up most of my fun money nowadays.

Anime collecting. Im all in on it at this point.

I bought up as much cheap and common stuff that i could find. Got a few good rare and pricey items (Eva ultimate set is probably the best one i have). Dont really have anything i would consider a "grail" item yet, but i am on the hunt for some specific items (PEDF or Galaxy Angel Rune Vol 4).

But im happy with how its going. Decided to specialize in Nozomi thinpack releases at the moment.

Snooker

Guns. Ammo is expensive and hard to find, which is why I got into reloading, but even that's getting pricey now.

Role Playing games. I'm getting close to owning all of the D&D 3.5 books, still need to get quite a few oWoD books to finish that collection.

Restoring my '74 VW. It's an ongoing slow moving project.
