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.

Collecting military surplus/old random military shit. Helmets, great coats, radios, a field phone, ww2 machete. Ya get the idea.
what do you do with it though? Just have your own small museum?
Check out the Discovery Channel tv show, Combat Dealers. I’m guessing basically that – learning old history, topping one’s collection with the most obscurest\rarest item, etc.
Basically, if its either broken but good enough condition I may restore it and find a niche use for it. The helmets are mostly used for gags with my friends and the great coat is new enough that I may actually use it if its windy enough.
That’s cool! Where do you get these?
Sometimes military surplus stores, sometimes random vendors at a place near me, sometimes at estate sales, sometimes at yard sales.
