What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Sex toys. My collection is worth more than my car.

That's one hell of a depreciating asset ya got there.

Most of them are high end silicone toys from Bad Dragon and Mr Hankey's toys and hold their value quite well. I purchased around 80% of them on the used market and can turn around and sell them for about the same amount so the depreciation hit is minimal.

What's your most expensive/extravagant one?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As in fully functional animatronics with hapatic feedbacks, micro-hydrolics, and micro-heater elements? Oh, and whatthehay - synthetic voice? I'm guessing.

Nothing that fancy but my wife has already expressed interest in one for threesome type situations should they become available.

My Hismith premium sex machine is the most expensive followed by some of my Mr Hankey's Toys such as XXXCalibur and Seahorse dildos.
