Pink Floyd. Nice.
[rebelmouse-image 18359717 is_animated_gif=1973 "Original Dark Side of the Moon" Vinyl. In very good condition.
It's not the super rare one, but still, this album is older than me by 12 years - probably the last thing I want to sell.
Villosa are very rare which is why they're expensive, and Venus flytraps are just cool af.
[rebelmouse-image 18359718 is_animated_gif=Grow a ton of Carnivorous plants. Own thousands of Venus flytraps and Sundews. Along with hundreds of Nepenthes and a few Sarracenia.
I'd love to find a Nepenthes Villosa. Sadly, any toothy variety of Nep is going for stupidly high amounts. The last Villosa I saw went for just over $1,400.
Admit it - you've wished you were a pinball.
[rebelmouse-image 18359719 is_animated_gif=I'd have to say a Williams 1993 Twilight Zone Pinball machine, or a 1992 Addams Family machine. Unfortunately, with the recent surge in popularity of pinball, I am now priced out of those machines.
Can't go wrong with Star Wars, especially LEGO Star Wars.
[rebelmouse-image 18359720 is_animated_gif=Super star destroyer. Wasn't into LEGO when it was available for 400, now I'm saving up 750 to get one.
The most expensive Les Paul guitar retails for $8,599.
[rebelmouse-image 18359721 is_animated_gif=A Gibson Les Paul Custom with Tim Shaw Pickups in wine red or silverburst.
Is it a cup or Mary Madeleine's womb?
[rebelmouse-image 18359722 is_animated_gif=The Holy Grail... I'm a historian.
You kids have no idea what it was like, these early computers were so much fun.
[rebelmouse-image 18359723 is_animated_gif=As a computer collector, a Commodore 65 or an Apple I. The likelihood of owning either is pretty close to zero.
Jay Leno has one of these bad boys - all 12 cylinders and 600 + horsepower.
[rebelmouse-image 18359724 is_animated_gif=Driving a McLaren F1, I would probably have a major mental episode if I ever got the opportunity....may need to go to the mental hospital for a bit after that.
This British rifle shoots multiple rounds and can go for 5-6 figures at auction.
[rebelmouse-image 18359725 is_animated_gif=My 1943 303 Enfield.
Good luck parallel parking it.
[rebelmouse-image 18359726 is_animated_gif=I am a railway enthusiast, trains, in particular, steam locomotives, are a big fascination of mine, so I'd say an actual steam locomotive.
