Depends on the hobby because I have too many...
Photography - not much unless I buy used, which is what I usually do. So some funky old lenses and adapters to get on the body, which usually nets some fun results.
Data hoarding - a couple of hard drives. Which I should really do, I'm coming close to 5% free (which sounds like less than it is when you've got about 115tb, which is why I'm not rushing out).
Computer Vision / AI - more processing power! But I make work buy me that stuff so its fine.
General compute - about 5 more tiny/mini/micros at the usual price (plus the usual upgrades) to either ads to the cluster or make a new one! Or one or two of the newer little beasts that I will probably be waiting another year or two to pick up.
Bicycling - a good bike for getting around! My bike is about 15 years old now, it was new old stock because no one liked the color apparently - which made it about 1/2 the price of what it should have been. I've been replacing gear on it over the years, but I'm tempted to buy something new, honestly less for going fast and maybe more upright, like a hybrid. Which I can get an OK model at that price.

I kid of course, I could use a hobby that incorporates some kind of motion.
But for real $1k is part of a good used lens, a fifth of the camera I really want, or a couple of decent hard drives to add to the collection. I remember I once lost my shit over $10, now I can't even get it up for $1000.

Depends on how much you mind restoration/cleaning work for fountain pens. I've already got all the entry tier stuff covered, so buying new pens at MSRP would probably mean somewhere between 1-3 pens, depending on how fancy I'm looking to get. I already have an ultrasonic cleaner and plenty of repair supplies, so I'd be hitting up auctions, personally. Depending on what's in the lots and how many people notice the contents, 1000€ would probably get me somewhere between 200-400 pens. Probably another 200 or so if I get to count what I could buy with the proceeds of selling off the ones I'm not interested in.
Ohhh, we got a sumgai over here. Nothing super fancy in my collection, topping out with probably a mid-range conical nib Sheaffer lever-fill, but I still regret selling my little marbled M200 with nib changed out for that sweet solid gold Pelikan BB.

Imagine 1000 thread count linen. The cloud soft pillows and the nice mattress. (I'm not actually sure how much bed things are.)

A really good distilling setup, or an embroidery machine, or a hen house upgrade, or a sublimation printer and T-shirt press, or a fancy wine fridge (stocked)... I have a lot of favorite hobbies.

Photography:
I could get a Nikon Z7, but no lens.
I could almost get my favourite lens, the Lumix S 24-105 f/4 it is just out of range

First hobby, writting. So, enough pens and paper to the end of my life, and more... But not enough notebooks, I can't have enough notebooks.
Second hobby, collecting bones and dead things. What could be expensive is a nice shelf for exposing, but 250€ max. Dissection kit, 30. A big bag of salt, 20. Some pins, 5. This specific washing powder, 15/20 OR hydrogene peroxyde, 20/30. Uncolored dishwashing liquid, 2. Toothbrush, 2. Shovel, 15. Box of gloves, 15. A bin and a lock, 70. Nylon met, 20. This really nice vegan taxidermy, 550.

Like 4-5 years of ancestry resources access, or maybe like a short trip to my grandparent's homeland to do my own research.
Or I can buy like A LOT of thread and cross stitch material. A lot.

Can you tell me more about data hoarding? Do you just like download shit off the net and archive it all?
