So one of my older hobbies caught my attention today and I went to check out the current market. It would basically cost me an arm and a leg to get something I might get a weeks use out of.
Has a hobby ever got too expensive for you? Or you will stick with it no matter the cost? |

"The price of the bigger Lego sets. The first €1000 set isn’t too far away"
I knew I wasn't the only one! The specific model I saw was the UCS Venator. I always said I'd buy it if it ever came out but 650 euro today for that is a lot of money. I'd bet that much money however that it will be Star wars Lego that will be the first to sell a set over a grand |

"I was going to ask is Lego gone over €200 
There are minifigures worth €200. It’s mad
They obviously hold their value for collectors "
Same as everything, rarity can bring value to the most mundane of things. |

My hobbies are music and technology .....I even went on my own to the Millennium Dome in London a week after it opened in 2000 to see it and watch the Peter Gabriel show in it ....loved that
Next weekend I'm spending a fair few euro going to Vegas for a week to see U2 in The Sphere and I've also booked another couple of shows while there

What's the hobby there? I've noticed in your profile you train quite a lot, any recommendations on protein powder? I've broke my wallet this week getting some in |

I've never had a hobby that required a lot of investment.
One off purchases that with proper care could last a couple of years.
My cut off point for equipment is £100 but I might go over that in certain circumstances.
If I can't afford something I make do with a cheaper alternative otherwise it wouldn't be a hobby anymore. |

"I'm a bit miffed at the price of the new raspberry pi 5. Also the price of modern GPUs. It makes my tinkering a bit pricier then I'd like. "
On the plus side, the raspberry pi 4 is available again. It's been in zero stock everywhere for well over a year, and that's the 1st one that can connect to WiFi. |

I haven't messed with a raspberry pi since college, with what you guys are saying, I probably won't take it up as a hobby for a while  |

I started collecting fully fashioned seamed stockings from the 40's and 50's when I was in My 20s. I would get pairs from charity shops for as little as 10p. Now they are very difficult to find. And even the faux seamed types go for as much as like three pounds a pair.Which Im not into.
Ive stopped collecting them.
I need a new hobby.
Maybe collecting designer scarves and sunglasses. |

The 4060 can be had for around 300euro, but I want something 4k capable and the 4060 is a bit underpowered for that. Plus it's only 8gb VRAM so not v futureproof. |

I think a 4060 is v similar performance to a 2080ti |

Only thing I use it for is a Plex Server. Any tv shows or movies I wanna watch that isn't easily gotten by streaming, I torrent into it.
And then I can watch them on the firestick or whatever. |
