A computer that was good enough to run Windows Vista. Trust me when I say that I fell in love with it. And yeah, it was used when I got it. It served me a very long time, 11 years to be exact.

My bookbag and also my Thinkpad T530 which is in my bookbag. I bought it for $99 at a goodwill and honestly it's slowing down but it's still the best laptop I've ever had. I just want this exact model with better specs
This ipad I'm using right now, it has lasted me quite some time.
Ooh what model ipad I was using a ipad 2 with a hairline crack for half a decade till I got my ipad air 4

My Elora ratchet set, bought in '99, used it on all daily drivers and hobby cars, saved me loads of cash on car maintenance. (And several jobs in the house) still going strong, although both ratchets need maintenance.
Treadmill. I live in a country where it's just not possible to run outside during winter so I used to gain some extra weight during those cold and dark months. Now I am in better shape than I have ever been during my life.
Good on you!!
A 2.5" hard drive enclosure for 15$. 2.5" hdds are pretty cheap nowadays with pretty sizable capacity, got a 1tb toshiba for 30$, making them perfect for backups. Toshiba and western digital are the brands to look for. 2nd best purchase would be my digital license for cryptomator on android, encrypted cloud backups for most of the providers.

The engagement ring I proposed to my wife with. She said yes.
Aww, that's great! Congratulations!
Thanks! Although I proposed 15 years ago and we've been married 13 :)
My Sony noise cancelling headphones (XM3). I love them and use them every single day. And also my wall mounted pull-up bar.
Brompton folding bicycle.
Creative sbs 370 2.1 speakers; using it for 19 years. The sound quality is the same as day 1.
The wired remote stopped working after 15 years, so I cut it off and connected the wires.
After seeing your comment I went and checked when I got my Logitech X-540 set, not quite as long, 14 years, but also still going strong. Probably far from ideal for an audiophile, but they've been fantastic for my needs and can still blast out great sound when they need to. Been hooked up to whatever media centre setup is on my TV since I got them, in fact they've been the only consistently connected piece of tech in that system in 14 years. Literally everything else has changed multiple times.

LASIK. And my $20 cast iron frying pan bought in 2001.
