Default The most expensive thing in your house

What is the most expensive thing you have in your house (not garage)? I have a painting that was given to me by my grandmother that has been appraised at $5,000. I don't think anything else comes close.

I have about a hundred old hummels, they should be worth around $20,000. I would love to sell them because I don't want to collect "stuff" anymore. I also have General Sherman's signature. (The union general that burned Atlanta during the civil war)

real worth would be the kids, but actual stiuff would be the new washer.

My computer, without a doubt. Two processors of power! It's probably excessive for a lot of people, but I do a lot of graphics/3d/animation work on it, so I need a computer that powerful. I spend a lot when I do buy, but only replace it about every 5 years.

sig.other's laptop was around $1100.... (still worth around that, just bought it)

our two bikes were $500 and 650 each when purchased in august.

I really don't know off hand. I could tell you that some things like family are priceless though.

Dh informed me last night his computer is worth more than the washer, which is kindof depressing since it is pure luxury. We have three, one can be justified by needing help from online, two umm no nope no justification, three? err yeah well.

1. Our greatroom furniture...$5000, genuine leather sofa and loveseat. My husband bought it years before we met, during his bachelor days.
2. My husband's computer...$4000. He does video work on the side, thus he needed a powerful computer and appropriate software for editing and such. He purchased this before we married, though.
3. My engagement/wedding ring.

My husband isn't much of a spender, but on the very rare occasion when he does spend, he spends big!!!

Hmm the more I read the more expensive stuff I find!

my engagement ring was more than the computer, and then the wedding rings wern't free either. my furniture is all hand me downs though so I have no idea the origional cost (though current worth is small)

The most expensive thing that I own that is currently in my house is my bassoon. I'm sure SO's assorted toys (TV, computers, etc) cost more, though!
