Watchlist: the watchlist below serves as a mental database to help me prioritise my research. Majority of these are not currently available at a suitably reasonable price, however some of these won’t be bought even at a reasonable price given the compliant rules that I would need to adhere to with my currently full-time employer. However they will still be on the watchlist for researching/learning purposes.
