Luxury items you really want for no reason

[Silvergun-Blue]

Probably Kingdom Death: Monster with every expansion.

Love these models. I'd also pay someone to paint them for me.

Now that is cool as fuck.

My answer, Cibi double whiskey glass set (as seen in Bladerunner)

£119 from Amazon. Did I mention I don't really drink?

Marble floors and a claw tub so I can pretend I live in a wizard's mansion or something.

Also a new annex to house a Turkish bath house or something.

You should get it. I paid $2500 for this stand and have zero regrets.

 

[Poppy]

irresponsibly large gems

like just a big golden bowl full of gems

 

[El Goom]

HYT Watch

 

[Abstrusity]

I want a stupid expensive watch. Will literally never use it, but I want one. Probably one of those really mechanical, flipboard esque ones. Failing that, I want one where I can see basically everything moving. Just put it in a case and show me the entirety of the mechanism.

I mean, think of everything it takes, the parts under tension from spring tension, the finely crafted sprockets and gears, ticking away. It doesn't matter to me that it tells time, only that I can see what is there.

 

[Carnby]

I'm thinking of buying a luxury car for my next purchase, but I continue to remind myself it's a waste of money. But I used to say that about buy new cars, and since buying one I'll never get a used one again.

 

[Macheezmo]

And definitely a proper table from Wyrmwood.

This is the one for me. I saw this table at GenCon and it's sooo nice. But really any decent gaming table would be nice to have. I've considered getting a Rathskellers, but it's almost impossible to justify.

 

[carda114]

My friend's millionaire dad has one of these. AMG G63 Editon 1 version with all the bells and whistles. Hand delivered by the German Engineer who built it. I've sat in it. It's one hell of a car.

It's been sitting in his climate controlled garage ever since. He has no plans on driving it.

[Dr Shasta]

Quartz countertops

Neo Geo

 

[effingvic]

A nice car. I dont even drive

 

[TaySan]

Going out for Thai food. Eating out is a luxury for me

And a hooker/escort date on my birthday

 

[NoKisum]

A house

The possibility to live debt free

A purpose in life

 

[Retsudo]

Bellerby & Co make some damn good globes. Prices range from 1000 £ all the way up to at least 100k£.

All handmade and unique, if i had a bunch of money i'd buy a bunch of these. In different sizes and styles.

 

[N.Domixis]

I've always wanted a 1kg sphere of gold to display.

 

[turbobrick]

I want a custom ESP guitar. Which would be around $4k-6k.


I also want a bunch of expensive cars, but I could think of a lot of reasons for wanting them.

I mean, you can use it to drink things besides whiskey.

 

[Darryl M R]

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" Extra-thin

I could pull the trigger one day during bonus season but that's pushing 50k.

 

[Jarrod38]

Another one would have to be this massage chair.

[MoonToon]

A really good fleshlight and a good Chain mail.

In fact, some fantasy gauntlets would be great.

 

[Stinkles]

Mercedes Airstream Atlas.

Has a full bathroom, solar roof, backup diesel generator and even gets good gas mileage.

 

[Nivash]

Can I eat your friend's millionaire dad

Click to shrink...

That would make my friend a millionaire which would necessitate eating him, so preferably not. Maybe we could compromise and eat the Mercedes?

 

[Hasan Ali Almaci]

I would spend it on not living below the Belgian poverty line

 

[Wulfric]

I want one of those premium scale Warcraft figures that go for like $900 retail.

 

[Rand a. Thor]

Either a pristine factory build 89 Countach or a prototype see through OLED Monitor.

I know the thread is for stuff you want for no reason, so i apologise in advance.

A pair of telescopic glasses that look normal (ish) that don't distort the image, reduce peripheral vision and that'll also be legal to use for driving here in the UK.

I have Stargardt's disease. (though i don't have the massive blindspot in the Center of my vision. Thank god) and only telescopic glasses would have the power to improve my vision.

I had thought, would it be possible to laminate thin lenses of varying magnification together to get the result i need. But i don't know anything about optics, so i don't know if it even technically possible. (I had toyed with the idea to make thread on here, hoping there are experts in the field to tell me if it can be done)

Any such glasses would have to be custom built, and wouldn't come cheap.
----------------------
Also i'd buy other bits and bobs.

A truly great chair,

Maybe one day I'll be able to afford to spend thousands on a chair

 

[Dr.Phibes]

Curta calculator. I have no real use for it. I don't even like math. But it's such a neat device.

My dad found one at a garage sale for 20 bucks. He knew its value and felt pretty bad for paying so little, but the house owners were just glad to get rid of old stuff.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

WHERE can I buy this?

 

[sugar bear]

Quartz countertops

Click to shrink...

I dropped $5K on quartz in my kitchen earlier this year (and I'm usually quite frugal.) Spendy, but I get to enjoy them for the rest of my life.

 

[Volimar]

One of those fancy showers with multiple streams from different angles. I feel like that'd be nice to just sit in and let the day drain off you.

 

[Shy]

nvm.

I saw a sprinter van hauling trash out of a foreclosed home the other day. I couldn't believe it. That is like using a Bugatti to do uber in

 

[Rendering...]

I kind of want a small Louis Vuitton bag, because I think the monogram is beautiful. I'd use it for dry art supplies or something. Of course, there's a good chance I'd be too paranoid about losing or ruining the bag to take it out of the house.

If I had a higher income I'd probably treat myself. Not before replacing all of my lifestyle items though. Headphones, laptop, desk, PC, monitors, chair, lamps, semi-formal clothing... I prefer functional products to luxury items.

 

[ryseing]

I want a dope wooden walking stick. If it had a sword in it even better.

It would help with my gait so there would be a reason but I don't want a plastic cane or some shit.

Can hardly think of a better "no reason" than a piano, considering I don't know how to play.

Fazioli F308, kind of the Bugatti of pianos:

Truthfully, maybe I'm just hoping it would magically attract all of my favorite virtuoso pianists to come serenade me. Le sigh

 

[Acorn]

Watches are my vice.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

I spent $680 dollars on a lightsaber from Vader's Vault recently. Is it expensive? Yes. Do I need it? Hell no.

I guess I should specify modern cargo vans, like the ford transit and ram promaster. Not like those old chevy vans you see that are piles garbage and always look sketchy AF.
