For some cheaper options drawing, writing, reading, used guitars have been much cheaper the last couple of years, chess, fishing, meditating, retro gaming, learn a new language, hiking, try to visit all the parks in your city/county/state, discussing hobbies online, etc.

Pretty sure it's both, reseller sites like reverb & ebay cutting out brick and mortar stores & letting individuals resell easier flooded the market, then a bunch of sellers after the height of COVID pushed it even further. there's just not enough people looking to buy what's already available.
