Before I went out and started going into this hobby, I wanted to make sure I had all my bases covered, so I made a list of things I'd need as well as their prices. I'd really appreciate it if someone could look at my list and let me know of any suggestions they have, or if I'm missing something. It'd also be great if there's any way for me to pinch a few pennies, because $500 is a fair bit of money for me.
