Most expensive purchase?

[Loose]

I was just thinking of the ways we all blow money, was looking at some speakers onine that cost about $11k.

What is the most expensive purchase you made that was NOT a home, and was not a vehicle?

I think for me it was a Natuzzi couch, ~$3k. Lots of money, but worth every cent.

[AllGoNoShow]

Diff.... $600 :D

Don't spend alot of big sums but the next biggest sum will be my rims, $1400 USD, then Rubber locally.

[DJ Lazy]

Camera - $1800.00
DJ Mixer - $1200.00
Lens purchase (lastnight) - $1150.00
Rims - $800.00

Those have been the biggest I suppose.

[BlueGoblin]

OK - It's a vehicle, which is a bit of a cheat, but not a car - my airplane - $50k

Non vehicle, my stove, $4k. It's a cool stove.

[FiveFreshFish]

Biggest cheque written: Stock purchase - $80k, single transaction.

Biggest service expense: Funeral - about $20k.

Biggest single item: Sub-Zero fridge - about $6k.

[C4S]

How about .. $$ on wedding? count?

App. $30K for banquet, app. $20K on whatever the rest ... :dunno:

For single item .. last camera .. ~$5G and I was very happy with it.. :thumbsup: but sold it few months ago for some lens ...

I bought stock in Nortel many many years ago .. since then .. never touched stock! :banghead:

[frostyda9]

Maybe not the moxt expensive, but absolutely the most absurd.....dropping over $1k total into my remote control car :D

[Goblin]

^ Haha so far I have (total) 1K too :D so thats 750 for car + everything else.

A plane? What kind? My guess is a 1980 172? maybe a 182, but who knows :dunno:

[BlueGoblin]

^

Nah - 172's are way overpriced right now. A mid time (3-4000 hr TTSN 1000 hr SMOH) 1980 C-172 would be in the $75000+ range. There was a 1981 C-172 at Springbank about a year ago with a fresh 0-320 and some decent radios that had a $95k asking price. The old 172's with the 6 cylinder 0-300 and 145hp are in the $45-55k range, but some of them are pretty tired or came from the coast and have corrosion issues. That and they get carb ice at the drop of a hat.

The only 182's In the $50k range would be late 50's straght tails, no interior and a few thousand hours of dropping lawn darts (skydivers) behind them.

I ended getting me a Cherokee. Not as much utility or as good a short fielder as the 172, but it flies nice, has 4 seats, a fresh engine and a recent repaint/interior. I love the manual flaps too.

Awesome bike. Wish I could have afforded an RM ESTX70.

My most expensive purchase was this summer. My Rocky Mountain Element 50. ~2200$ with quite a bit of a discount to knock the price down.

BTW i went into wendy's today and the price of #4 has increased to $5.19 without tax (so about $5.55 with tax).

I am going to boycott fast food places from now on. the crap they slang isn't worth the money (esp. subway... $10 for a sub?) :guns: :guns: :guns: :guns: :guns:

when i used to live in the states it was crazy to spend more than $2.99 for an extra value mean at McD's (moved here in 2001).
