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.

what do you do with it though? Just have your own small museum?

Basically, if its either broken but good enough condition I may restore it and find a niche use for it. The helmets are mostly used for gags with my friends and the great coat is new enough that I may actually use it if its windy enough.

Check out the Discovery Channel tv show, Combat Dealers. I'm guessing basically that -- learning old history, topping one's collection with the most obscurest\rarest item, etc.
