What would you buy?
I see all these threads about winning the lottery, but the typical response of being invest, save for the future.
I want to see the materialistic things people want. The smaller frivolous items. I know most can afford outright, but, this is free cash to blow.
What would you buy if I gave you 24 hours to use it? Change is used to party and drink after
Rules
It can only be retail value. No bargain dealing to stretch out the amount.
Price the item with pics if you can

10, 20 years from now it will probably be worth the same amount and probably more(provided it is looked after).
Not only is it a nice piece of gear, but it holds it's value. Can you say that bout many things you buy these days?

TBH there is nothing I really want or need for under $10k. I would rather cash the money and deposit it. But if I was forced to use it I would buy the following:
1) Imac 27" $1700.
Not really needed but I always wanted one but was never willing to spend the money.
http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/normal/apple-imac-27-559335.jpg
2) Ben Q Projector $800.
Who wouldn't love watching basketball on a 100 inch screen?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81jH60MfukL._SL1500_.jpg
3)Diamondback Response Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels Black $500
I could use a new bike
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81u4MwZNIGL._SL1500_.jpg
4) Iphone 6 plus $750
Umm not sure what else. Spend the rest on clothes, vacation, etc.

If we had to use then...
$1000 on shoes and clothes
Probably a lot of Nike shit and RL and stuff. Maybe even 1.5k on shoes now that I think about it.
Xbox One and PS4 ~$500 for both. I'd get a good deal.
$300 on games for both
New phone - haven't kept up with what is on the market. Maybe Nexus 6, so $350
Another laptop just for kicks $500
Basketball - $30
NBA League Pass - $180
Orlando Magic tickets - $100 for a couple games in ATL
Victor Oladipo fathead - $100
Can't think of anything else atm. Will update

And the second half would be spent on equipment (tripod, steadicam, jib crane, audio, lights).

Prob buy some membership stuff that is more efficiently priced if you make an annual commitment.
One year membership at local chess club
Year membership at a golf course
Annual Pass to the aquarium/zoo
etc
Take some music lessons
Cooking classes
I'd get a few material items I'm sure (maybe a bicycle, some binoculars, new computer) but for the most part I think I'd use it on stuff I can do as opposed to possess.
Also would try to donate a bit, perhaps to Wikipedia and a few other causes I think are useful.
