What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? - eviltoast

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.

      Clicked that link as fast as I could. I thought it would be cool, but didn’t realise it would be that cool. Thank you

        If you like Pentel, the Nero Orenz is my favorite with the auto lead dispensing. Otherwise I’m a GraphGear 1000 guy myself when it comes to drafting

      Wow I love this! When I was in school, you were seen as a cool kid if you had a four-colour BIC pen, but a amazing mechanical pencil like that Japanese one would have been much better!

        Kuru Togas for sure for their rotating lead engine. The Advanced Upgrade specifically is my daily driver. The Pentel GraphGear 1000 is also a very comfortably hefty pencil. Otherwise the Pentel Orenz Nero and it’s auto dispensing lead mechanism is also really cool. Rotring 600 and Staedtler 925-35 are also popular pencils that I’ve tried and like, but I don’t own.

          Thank you!

          I have the basic like $7 Kuru Togas and am definitely curious what an upgrade would feel like
