    A 4" angle grinder and a rosebud plumbing torch.
    Those have more than paid for themselves.

    Car jump leads. Cost me £5. Jump started a guy in a car park, he insisted on giving me £5. Paid for themselves.

    A cowbell, a vuvuzela, an airhorn. I love making loud noises. :D

    I buy so many ridiculous and cool things that if I listed them all, it'd be a stupidly long post.

    Esterbrook fountain pen, c.1950. It's more than paid itself off by now based on the amount of ballpoints I used to go through, not to mention it looks and writes better despite its age.

    bought a wakizashi (small katana) on a yard sale a few years ago... paid 20€ for it.
    found out later that it was a genuine antique piece about 150 - 200 years old and worth a few grand.
    lucky me.
