> If you don’t use it, sell it This is something I try to encourage everyone to do. I don't know why so many are averse to selling things. It's so easy to do with sites like eBay. The great thing is once you know you can do it it lets you try new things without worrying. Thinking about getting into fountain pens? Buy a second hand one. The worst that can happen is you don't use it and resell it for close to what you paid. If buying brand new, always check the second hand value. The difference, plus transaction costs, is what you stand to lose. It can make many things more accessible than you might think. A related hobby which I think might be up many a geek's street is calligraphy. You don't need expensive tools for it, just some ink, a dip pen handle, some nibs, and paper. Being able to write cards and such with beautiful writing is really well appreciated.
