Hand-crafted wooden excavator: $35,900
You want an excavator but you don’t want to go to all the trouble of actually excavating anything. You just want something nice to look at in the morning while you’re at the breakfast table, right?
“Hey, are you guys doing construction?” the neighbors will ask. “Nope, just like to look out at a 4,000-piece handcrafted wooden excavator in the morning. Gets my day off on the right foot,” you’ll answer. “Mind if our kids come over and climb on it?” they’ll ask. “If your kids come anywhere near my 4,000-piece handcrafted wooden excavator, it’ll be the last—and best—memory they have,” you’ll answer.
