    A really good distilling setup, or an embroidery machine, or a hen house upgrade, or a sublimation printer and T-shirt press, or a fancy wine fridge (stocked)… I have a lot of favorite hobbies.

      Imagine 1000 thread count linen. The cloud soft pillows and the nice mattress. (I’m not actually sure how much bed things are.)

    Depends on how much you mind restoration/cleaning work for fountain pens. I’ve already got all the entry tier stuff covered, so buying new pens at MSRP would probably mean somewhere between 1-3 pens, depending on how fancy I’m looking to get. I already have an ultrasonic cleaner and plenty of repair supplies, so I’d be hitting up auctions, personally. Depending on what’s in the lots and how many people notice the contents, 1000€ would probably get me somewhere between 200-400 pens. Probably another 200 or so if I get to count what I could buy with the proceeds of selling off the ones I’m not interested in.

      Ohhh, we got a sumgai over here. Nothing super fancy in my collection, topping out with probably a mid-range conical nib Sheaffer lever-fill, but I still regret selling my little marbled M200 with nib changed out for that sweet solid gold Pelikan BB.

    A low-mid range PC. Maybe? Prices for components are fucking wack and I’m broke anyway, so I am not sure how far 1000 dollars would go rn.

    My current PC was ~$900, built in 2019 and was for low-entry VR, or high performance in flat space games for 1080p res and 144hz.

    A thousand euros in airsoft will get you a high-quality gun or two, depending on what you’re looking for and where you’re getting it from. Generally, replica pistols and “standard” rifles tend to be cheaper than anything heavy or exotic.

    And you’ll probably have plenty of cash left over, for things like safety gear, special clothing, and gun-related accessories like slings and holsters.

    The most expensive gun in my collection, a replica of the pistol from Kingsman, was €430. I spent about another 100 on spare magazines, shotgun shells, and a custom holster. My next-priciest gun cost less than half that, even after acquiring similar accessories

    I haven’t put any money into modifying any of my guns, since that’s an entire other can of worms I don’t feel like opening. Most guns will be perfectly playable out of the box, rarely needing more than heavier BBs or a hopup adjustment to be improved.
