I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I've recently gotten hooked. It doesn't have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I'm in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.
Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.
The coins that I don't want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that I don't end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.
Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an "s" mint mark - they may be proof coins etc. There's always the chance of finding a real treasure!

People collect all sorts of stuff! My mother and another woman I know collect souvenir spoons from around the world. My grandmother collects nesting dolls - the ones that open and have a smaller one inside then a smaller one, and so on. I have very slowly started collecting Majolica pottery. My daughter collects anything & everything Harry Potter. My aunt collects hand painted thimbles. A family friend has a Carnival glass collection. I know a couple who collect snow globes. A man we know collects models of tractors.
Adults also collect coins, stamps, records (yup, vinyl), cd's, movie posters, comic books, sports memorabilia, etc.
Kids collect different trading cards (Pokemon, etc.), stickers, funky erasers...
If you're going to be selling stuff you would probably have the most success if you choose things that you are interested in or can at least appreciate. Even selling on e-Bay, you have to be able to express enthusiasm in your ads, plus if anyone has any questions regarding your items you should be able to provide an answer.
Good luck!

I'm poor, so I don't really collect anything.
But, when I do have spending money, I buy movies on DVD.
Also, I once collected comic books, but I can't be sure if they are in demand today.
