Hobbies are getting expensive but there's always ways to get around for being cheap. This year lots of people selling used stuff on social media like Facebook platform so why not take advantage to haggle the price with local seller on second hand stuff. As mentioned over my 'How to' tutorial published last month ago i manage to secure lots of very rare yet interesting hardwares for my hobby projects. Old, dusty, used but usable, the previous owner was happy it landed on the right hand for maximum use, plus it came with extra bits. You'll need a good hunting skills and dig around to get what you wanted for less, people will always open for negotiation. For me this year i saved a lot and manage to enjoy my hobby without being broke. Plus i get to meet more interesting people along the way.
