I get 1 nice drone or 2 small ones.
Lost a 500€ infrared drone 2 days ago in a sugar beet field because "I don’t need the GPS when flying near the street" and then I was too high to make out if it was a deer or a rabbit and the powerline in between disrupted the radio signal, so the drone went into failsave and stopped all movement, getting carried by the wind into the field and it fell in a way that the battery disconnected… thank you for reading.. I’m sad now…
If you had two infrared drones you could have started a rescue mission with the second one.

You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering

I don't think I need to spend that much money on my current hobbies. But I obviously could
- A real lot of pencils, a lot of Bic and a lot of paper to write with (and to make paper planes, too). Like a good chunk of a lifetime worth of supply
- A lot (but already a little less) of top quality watercolor paint (that I don't need to enjoy my hobby watercoloring), too many top of the line watercolor brushes (that I don't need for my hobby either) and a lot of excellent watercolor paper (that I may enjoy using but still don't really need for my hobby
- The entire line of Caran d'Ache 'Luminance' colored pencils and the entire line of Faber Castell 'Polychromos' colored pencils, in multiple examples. But why would I need that many colors when I use maybe 10 or 12 regularly?
- I do a lot of scratch building also using... cardboard. SO, a 1000€ would buy a few decades, centuries?, worth of cardboard and fresh hobby blades too. But since I mostly used recycled cardboard from old packages and parcels... I won't need to buy those.
Back when I was making scale models (plastic planes and tanks) I could have easily spend that In a couple hour in any hobby shop worth shopping at, buying a few fancy model kits, too much paint and some of the fancier tools, plus reference books. Or on a single camera lens, but that is another hobby I quit practicing. Or on some rare books... which I also quit collecting. It looks like I won't be able to spend much money

I could get a copy of the original "White Box" Dungeons & Dragons set, although not an actual first print run copy, because those go for $20k. But I'd probably buy the last few Planescape products I'm missing, which are also unreasonably expensive for rpg books but not in the same league as the original dnd sets, and much more enjoyable to read.

My two main hobbies are amassing wealth and being bad at finance so it probably gets me about 500€.

Damn that’s a shame. What resolution was the IR camera?
-
Two and a half hard drives.
Yeah, about 72TB if I find a sale

I could get loads of cool liquors I've been eyeing for experimentation! Or like... one reeeeeally nice scotch.

About one-fourth of a top-tier professional video card, or a whole -almost top-tier- consumer card. Or a relatively decent factory-made classical guitar. That being said I'd probably go for a extrawide capo to fit my ten-string instead. And then buy coke with the remaining 950$. Regular, not diet

A nice OLED TV. I love watching movies.
Edit: Holy cow OLED is still very expensive. I've changed my mind: projector.

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.
