What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.
Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Mechanical keyboards. Picked up a keychron for cheap. Decided it was too loud, decided to change the switches. Then the keycaps. Now I'm ordering barebones keyboards and artisan custom keycaps. This shit is an addiction.
I remember buying a Razer BlackWindow from a local electronics store and now here I am, waiting 2 years for a group buy for frog keycaps that I paid $150 for. It never ends.

True but it feels so good to type on these things! Got a NOS Hi-Tek with space invader keys a few weeks ago that blew me away and now I really need to resist seeing what else is out there.
I've had 3 boards.
Atrix Sniper Keyboard. $25 at GameStop, resoldered switches to upgrade it from Outemu brown to red
Then later I bought an white rk61 with blue switches, put a stronger spring inside the switch on the spacebar (why not?)
And then of course I had to get a $10 keyboard at the thrift store (Punkston TH61S, unbranded optical yellow)
edit: I also spray painted the plate blue on the RK61
