  • 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.

        no priceless heirlooms here (if their were I would sell them.)

            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.

              (don't own the appliances because we rent.) this is not including the new 2006 car, or our older car.

                    guess it might be the beauitful TV cabinet i bought from Renovation Hardware for about $2,500, a splurge with a bonus i got one year.

                      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.

                              I think mine might be one of the more expensive things in our house, too. Computers are up there, followed by living room furniture (if you count the whole set).
