As someone who has been in the 3d printing space for awhile, I am amazed at how cheap and featured the entry level printers are. For ~$150 you can get a printer with auto bed leveling and a magnetic bed. At $15/lb of filament, you only need a few projects to pay for itself.
For example, I printed the housing for a USB hub for a friend which is a clone for a ridiculously expensive one that fits Lovesac couches and he paid me $50. It cost ~$2 of filament and ended up printing a few more for others. That alone paid for the cost of the printer.
For anyone who is thinking about it, now is a great time to enter the hobby.

First edition, first run of the three Lord of the Rings books.
I can’t bring myself to open them up and mess with the pages.
But you bought a reading copy as well, right?
Right?
I have one, but it’s not the same as the original.
I have posted pictures of the books for people who want to see the original maps included in the books.
The duality of book owning.
Speaking on my wife’s behalf, an epipen. We’re both content with not having needed to use it.
A pair of traditional leather boots that were stiff and sturdy enough to support me through anything and last long enough to be buy it for life. The pair weighed over 5 pounds. After 6 months they still hurt after a hike and I gave up breaking them in. Cost me over 300€, and I replaced them with a pair of 80€ trail running shoes which were better in every way for my use case and also lasted 12 years.
My car’s extended warranty.
Xbox Series X. I have a Day 1 release, and recently cancelled my XBL Gold + Game Pass due to lack of use.
Been playing PC or PS5 games instead? Or just haven’t been gaming much?
Actually, Nintendo Switch, mainly because I can take it anywhere. I just don’t find myself with heaps of time to sit down for proper gaming sessions any more.
The tyranny of getting older, and having family responsibilities.
Makes sense. I was considering getting a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch for kinda that same reason.
My 6-foot-tall telescope. I should really pull it out more, I just get so busy.

2020 Shelby Mustang GT350R. I paid $80k for it and then another $25k at Shelby American in Vegas for the signature edition package. Bought it new in 2020 and it now has about 1500 miles on it.
It was my dream car but I just never have the time to drive it.
Trust me, it will go up in value… In 2070.
Ive gotten a sub woofer probably at ~$120 of value and a couple pool sticks (billiards) at ~$200-300 value of which I’ve never gotten to fully utilize yet
