you buy any high ticket items and not use it?

[Darth-Baiter]

Me.  maybe my shotguns.  i dont even remember last time i opened my gun safe.  and when i did, it was to get my passport.

 

but i use everthing else.  i think.  my neighbor bought a RV trailer and a big diesel truck.  neither moved for a year or two, then he sold them.  what a waste!!  my friend has a 21 foot bass boat in his moms garage with one trip on the clock.  been maybe 8 years.  in his defense he did buy an ocean boat and he uses every weekend.  he kayaks are hobies and are probably full of spiders.  

 

you?  i sold my motorcycle because i was getting too lazy to put on all my protective gear to ride to work.

Not me, I buy low ticket 

[Susky River Rat]

I have guns I haven’t shot in awhile. I have probably $10,000 worth of musky gear I am not going to use much of anymore. 
 

I didn’t use my snowblower this year! 
 

Generally everything I buy get used though. 

[casts_by_fly]

I am very much an overthink and over research person.  I don't buy on impulse.  I've always been pretty cheap also.  All that adds up to not really having any big ticket item purchases that didn't get used.  I haven't used my guns in a couple years now, but they generally had plenty of use before that.  I tend to switch hobbies at times between the latest flavor of the month.  I used to build rods and flyfish almost exclusively, so I have a bunch of rod building, fly tying, and fly fishing gear in the basement.  I used to bird hunt when we were in the UK, but on moving here there are no birds so I shifted to archery (and the guns and dogs have sat idle).  I don't sell off though because inevitably something will change and I'll have an opportunity to use what I just got rid of.

[Tennessee Boy]

I’ve got some fluorocarbon line.

[padlin]

Haven’t used any of my guns in at least 25 years. My fly gear has been gathering dust for around 10, every once in a while I’ll take out the 7wt for a pond, but even that has been a couple years.

 

my fish finder is pretty much a virgin too.

[Bird]

Definitely Guns here.

I've got as much tied up in guns as I do my bass boat and use the boat a couple times per week " weather permitting ".

I have several firearms that haven't been shot in years, many years.

[flyfisher]

Nope.  Pretty much everything I have I use at least a few times a year.  If I don't, I sell it.

Yeah we are so safe we can't carry a knife that doesn't fold in our backpack, even when fishing or hunting.......

 

 

Yet it's legal to carry around a bow and arrow in public both concealed and non concealed.... because we are just that safe

hahaha..not the way you think.  shotguns are just easy, like selling a fishing rod.  i'm not talking about some gray market black rifle.  

 

BUT.  finding a fair price, shipping is a non starter for me.  meeting at a public place etc.  PITA.  there is just an element of "pain" to it all.  i could put them on Craiglist but then...  no thanks.

Question #4: Can I legally carry a dagger?

: When a knife doesn’t have a folding mechanism or ejector button, it is considered a fixed blade knife. Kitchen knives, ice picks, and other sharp objects are included in this category. Under California law, a “dagger” is a knife that can be readily used as a stabbing weapon. Daggers and other sheath knives must be carried openly and cannot be concealed in the state of California.

That’s daggers and dirks.  I called a lawyer friend.

[Jig Man]

I bought a John Deere 4 wheel drive diesel tractor which I only use maybe once a year.  That must have been the day that I awoke to find myself mad at my money.

[Bankbeater]

I don't think I own anything that would be considered high ticket.

[MN Fisher]

I've got a Rolex I've had for 40 years - wear it maybe twice every three years...special occasions only

 

Last time I wore it was to the WT concert I went to last fall.

Me too.  I've got some guitars, amps and guns that are worth a buck or 2 but they were cheap when I bought them.

My Wife just had to have a cabin in the woods. We got one and it's great. Used it 3-4 times a week from spring to fall the year we purchased it. Used it 3 times the last 2 years. Brian.

Airbnb that cabin, seriously...... it's very popular and lucrative around here.

[slonezp]

Does a wife count???

[Log Catcher]

Like many others I have guns that haven't been shot in a long time. I also have a generator and a snow blower. I will be happy if I never have use either one of them again.
