I don't know how it is in your country, but in Poland, you can easily buy a working Trinitron very cheaply. For the equivalent of 55 - 82 $ or 47-70 Euros

I have had the opportunity to buy both of those when they first came out, but passed them both up as they seemed uncomfortable and impractical to hold while attempting to play a game.

Most things I can think of that I want to buy. At least until I get another job. I have too many expensive hobbies (although I managed to get into Battletech for an exceedingly low cost with paper proxies) to support with no significant income.

Out of those things, the one thing I want the most is a retro emulation handheld. I really want one of those, I almost never want to play on my Switch. Or a hacked PSVita, that'd be pretty great.

Or a tank, like a fella here mentioned

One day I will snap and create the cutest most amazing book nook of my dreams.
Also the final fantasy set of magic cards, theyre so cool looking but so expensive.
And the pokeball statues that light up and make noises, I love them but can never justify spending 100+ dollars on one pokeball.
I love make up as well but holy heck I can never go and shop at Mecca except in my dreams. 100+ dollars for one special lipstick is WAY out of my price range no matter how sparkly it is.

What are those things that you'd want to buy, but simply won't because they are not what you need right now, seem like a reckless expense, or perhaps you are a little embarrassed by them? Trust me, I have been there.

Right now, I'd really like to hunt down and own an old-school MP3 Player just for the heck of it, even though I know that it'd be horribly inefficient, that it wouldn't give me nearly enough space as I would need to fit my oversized playlist on it, and that it simply wouldn't see much use outside of when I'm running and don't feel like dragging my phone around with me (or when I need an emergency USB stick, which seems to have been the default afterlife for many of those suckers).

I haven't even looked yet, because I can't afford to be that stupid with money. But maaaan, sometimes I really feel like owning one of those sleek little things again. The true "Cool Kid" makers of the aughts.

What about you?

i don't feel like buying anything unless i can repair it.

I just saw the sickest videocamera at an antique store.

Huge, powerful as fuck, probably used in professional settings or even the damn news.

If only I had the cash...

Still trying to get my hands into the complete collection, PAL Spain is a dream that will never happen tho

 

[Nidoking's iconNidoking]

This is almost $1,000.

This is about $800.

This is $200 (and sold out.)

This is also $200.

Also, a lot of clothing that's just... kind of too much to justify. I'd say tattoos, but I WILL eventually get most of the ones I want in that regard.

There's lots of other stuff, but most of it's stuff that is so expensive it wouldn't just hurt me to buy it, it would be borderline impossible for me to even get that much money together all for one purchase. Like jet skis, a boat, slaves, etc.
