    Braaaaaains "Ah, I'll buy it at a high price!"

    What's the most expensive thing you ever bought?

    For me it's probably my car. £6,000 or approx $9,400 if you want to be a filthy colonial about it.

    So many people will say education but for REAL TANGIBLE THINGS I have to say plane ticket to the US which was $3000.

    My car. It cost between $7000-$8000. This was many years ago. Probably going to get a new one in a couple of months.

    Definitely education. Otherwise, my car, at about $5,000. It was my first car and I'm still using it, so I'd say it was a good investment.

    Ignoring the obvious stuff like cars, wives, etc. it would be this as far as single objects go:



    $1,100 for one snare drum? Yeah, I paid that. It was worth every penny.

    A night alone with Jiro. I don't even want to tell you how much I paid for that.

    Well, education has to count, and at this point it's definitely that for me. I've dropped about $3000 in tuition for any one semester.

    Education was about $36,000 after all the grants (and I got a lot of grants)

    My car was... $8000? Still paying it off. Almost done though!

    My computer was about $1000 all told for all the parts. Hopefully I get this new job I applied for so I can start saving up for that and make a new one because this sucker's about six years old.

    I've also got a laptop which I paid about $1000 for back in the day when I actually had money. (I miss those days)

    My computer was $3,000. I got externals put in it and a bunch of other stuff added to it including dual monitors.

    I also have a Macbook Pro, but thinking of selling it soon and getting a cheaper and lighter laptop.

    Even though I didn't buy it, I HAD a card, but my brother took it so now I'm just going about in my dad's GMC, which honestly I prefer better.

    1. My flat, which involved a £76,000 mortgage for 68% ownership, or something like that. I forget the exact details.
    2. Danielle's engagement ring - £1,600.
    3. I'm not too sure on this one, but it might be the ticket from Auckland to London.

    My computers were bought in pieces, so technically the single purchase isn't that much. Overall, though, I've spent thousands on them over the years, including £2,692 at OcUK's e-shop alone since 2007.

    It's a long story but the gist of it is: Ron Jeremy grabbed my junk.

    My car. $10,000 and I've got three more years to pay on it, but it's totally worth it. Aside from that, my first laptop was about $1,700 when everything was said and done.

    The laptop I am currently using is more than enough for my needs and cost about $1,100. Got it with 18 months to may it off. Easily did way before the deadline month ago. Very smart, and easy purchase for me. I don't want to sound like too much of an spambot so I like hotdogs.
