People get endorphin hits from both. The fact that you can consider a handbag a speculative investment that you can resell is gambling every bit as much as actual gambling: the expected value is still negative. With resale, taxes alone immediately burn through almost 20% of the list price.

For both, I say if you can afford it and it gives you enjoyment, go for it: that's the reason to have money. If you can't, don't do either.
