There are some rules:
- no international travel
- no shopping sprees
- vehicles/vessels
- obviously something sensible and realistic
There are a lot more rules but those are only some of them.
I was thinking of something practical like a DSLR camera or a iMac desktop. What are your thoughts?
edit: I think and would rather choose an item over an experience, unless there is an experience I haven't thought of.

Everything on this list lol
Imac? do you hate this person?
I just want to make the most of this once in a life time opportunity :)
Curious why the rules?
Hard to answer for you as i don't know you and what you like to do or what possession's you own i.e mobile phone, PC/laptop, TV, (i have no idea about cameras).
That's just the rules that are in place, set by the organisation. I am more of a practical person I think and would rather choose an item over an experience, unless there is an experience I haven't thought of.
I would love for mr whippy to stay at my house all day with all you can eat icecream.
Ahh, Dreams
I change my answer.
A personalised plate!
I would hire people to act like spastics while I walk through the city in the middle of them. They would flail their arms and shout and whoop while I strolled along, the eye of a crazy tornado
I estimate it would cost $100 per person for an hour, so thats 30 people. However if I can find a way to game the airtasker system for the bonus credit I could potentially double that to 60 people. I'm also hoping that as we go along random people will voluntarily join in and the movement will gain a critical self sustaining mass
You could just visit the parliament house for a more intense experience.
Parabolic flight.
A lifetime supply of eneloops. What more could you ask for?

I've always wanted to rent out a shop space on Chapel St Prahran.
paint the interior white.
big glass front windows.
hire 4 or 5 well groomed people (in almost matching smart clothes) to stand in a row near a single glass display case.
in the display case is a white scarf.
a white scarf in a glass display in a big white room with 5 well groomed people standing in a row next to it(there is a full length mirror in the corner), in a shop on chapel st.
customer enters.
what do they do? either exit or go to the case.
if they go to the case they will have to look at the scarf.
if they ask how much the scarf is then the 5 well groomed people snort and snigger derisively and mumble things like "how MUCH IS IT?!?!" and laugh.
customer either leaves or demands an answer.
if they demand an answer the 5 groomed people stare at the customer in perplextion and one of them says in a serious voice "if you have to ask then I highly doubt you can afford it. Good day Sir".
If the customer says they want to try it on then they can and it is brought out of the display case by one of the 5 after they have donned white gloves.
the mirror is brought over for the customer to view them selves.
If the customer says asks how much it then the 5 well groomed people snort and snigger derisively and mumble things like "how MUCH IS IT?!?!" and laugh.
if the customer doesn't ask how much it is and says they will take it then one of the five will ask they are paying for it.
if the customer says credit card then one of the 5 will say very good and pull out a silver tray for the customer to place their credit card on.
once the customer put s their credit card on the tray the five will glance at it and the one holding the tray will say "Sir, you can't afford it". and will hand the card back to the client.
the well groomed person with the white gloves will hold out their hands to the customer so as to demand the scarf back.
I'd need the money to hire the shop for a day, the 5 well groomed people to serve. to paint the interior white. and to buy a white scarf from aliexpress.
I'm afraid this will cost alot more than 3k.
maybe northcote?

And that, children, is why you should never do cocaine!
You are a true artist.
Sounds good you can have my $3k too to make this happen.
Coke and hookers.
Sad and lonely, are we?
Dinner with kevin rudd
Is cash (tangible item) forbidden by the rules? If not, it is really flexible.
Gift cards are a close second, if nominating useful ones are allowed.
Its really hard to measure an experience, really comes down to the person's wants.
For example, I'm happy to forgo any $3k item if I am offered a night with Jennifer Hawkins.
No international travel? Why?
Sensible and realistic?
2 overnight high end prostitutes, few grams of coke and some viagra.
I am 100% serious.
If no overseas travel. 2-3k i have.
Viagra - making you a bigger dick today than you were yesterday.
I'd pick 48 hours in Westworld before some doodad that'll inevitably be obsolete.
Could I use it for cosmetic surgery? Never been vain, but this aging thing is starting to cramp my style, there are one or two "maintanence" issues I would like to deal with.
If it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, don't waste it on something that will devalue/become obsolete in a few years (tech).
I'd be looking into education/short courses to learn something that will last forever.
Horse.
You want something while it's tangible but something that won't be facing obsoletence anytime soon. Preferably something that could last a lifetime. That's not an iMac or DSLR….however you could argue some sweet Canon L or Nikon equivalent glass won't be out replaced anytime soon.
buy some shares!
For 2-3k, a holiday. Trying a hot air balloon experience is very cool too!
Holiday.
Pampered break.
