Oh I definitely would have bought them haha. I buy things and than resell to make a bit of extra money. I watch too much storage wars..........

I also check pinterest for a lot of DIY stuff. I'm not at all crafty but even I can make some simple things with a guide/reference!!

Instead of buying a train table for example, I just painted a large piece of cardboard and glued the train tracks to it. It fits nicely under my spare room bed when we aren't using it if I don't want it out in the playroom.
