The most expensive thing in your house

[robex]

Dh has a grand hockey card collection...no idea the full value on it. I would sell it out from under him in a minute if I thought I could get away with it. LOL!

A few years ago he sold 4 cards and bought me a china cabinet and paid for a trip to Vegas for himself. Yep, it's tempting...

Mine is a toss up between our couch (leather, bought for $1100) and our 2 computers. My boyfriend built both computers, so total cost for each is less than $1000. However, with software they could be above the couch value.

Also, I guess if you look at replacement value it would be our books. We have three floor to ceiling book shelves in our office, plus another small book shelf. Many of them are hardcover so I'm sure the replacement value could go over the price of our couch.

Ugh, opening up a can of expensive worms here:

1. Renovated backyard ($60000)
2. Kitchen renovation ($30000)
3. Painting inherited from DH's mum ($10000 approx)
4. Battle between fridge and lounge suite (each cost somewhere between $6000-$7000)

Pushing it's way in at No. 3 (in Feb '06) will be the frontyard renovation at about $35000. Thank goodness the "Money Pit" will be finished then and we can concentrate on enjoying it all

Probably my fridge or bed. We bought a new bed a year ago that was around $900. I try not to spend too much on electronics (TV, computer, home theatre, ect.) Kids take the most money though...but I wouldn't consider them a liability.

Well we have anderson door and windows in our house. lots of them! They cost about $50,000 when we installed them.

My husband has a bout a million dollars in tools!!

Jewelry, although it was all purchased so long ago........... not even sure of current values
Piano, also purchased years ago, but I understand it hasn't decreased in value still. Kind of nice to know, since it was a real luxury when I bought it and I had to scrape money together!!!

Interesting question all round. Discovered I don't own much of anything when it comes right down to it. Certainly nothing anyone else would consider valuable.

My computer is the most expensive thing. It not's actually the computer that is the expensive part about it, it's actually the information that is on it. I have alot of important business information on it and without that I would be lost.

But then again, I do have backups.

My Wee CJ. He has this penchant for toy construction equipment, as well as the most expensive training pants available. I love my baby boy!

[Lostsoul33]

Definetely family is priceless
My engagement and wedding rings
My computer and monitor
52" TV
Hubby has a deer head which is mounted. He was offered a sum of money for it at one time but he wouldn't sell it. I hate the thing and would sell it in a minute if he would let me.

My puppy Holly, She gets her "hair" done every month.

I don't think there is anything expensive in our house! Maybe we're more frugal than I thought. No engagement ring, furniture is all thrift store except for mattresses, computer is from a business that closed and we were given it, very few tools, car is 5 years old and van is 2, (although if you saw the payments you might think they were expensive.) the jewelry is minimal. The wedding rings were 700 but that is it. My sewing machine was used at $800. I have a set of sterling flatware that I used to think was expensive until I had it appraised. Worth a few hundred but that is it. Now I'm wondering where the money goes every month!

[Snoopy2645]

Well the most expensive thing in my house is my kids no doubt!!! T0 me nothing else is really expensive.

IMO everything else I dont care much about!! As for appraisels our stuff is only worth what someone is willing to give us for it your stuff may sale for more than what an appraisel my say & they may go for far less than apprised at ya just never know.

something, and it probably isn't... like clothes.

[Ima saver]

Probably my mother's diamond rings. Funny thing is I use to wear them. Now I wear a fake 3 karet diamond from QVC that everyone thinks is real!!

[joesbaby]
