I just bought some Bowers and Wilkins speakers that go for $3,000. im just wondering if im the only one who spends money on such non essential things. You can say the items retail and/or what you paid for it.

My PC. To be fair, it's made up of numerous different purchases, but I did spend a ridiculous amount on it, well over $5,000. I built it soon after my first job - the first time in my life where I was able to build the PC I'd always wanted, so I got a little carried away. Now that I've done it and it's out of my system I'm much more careful with what I spend money on, but I don't regret it.

Probably a camera body for $3400, or a lens that cost about the same - I don't remember the exact cost.

I bought my PC in parts and have probably spent well over $1,500 on it through the years.  Oh, yeah, my college education has cost more than that (in books alone), but I wasn't counting that.

I have a piece of paper which says I have a law degree, another piece of paper which says I'm a master of laws and another piece of paper which allows me to practice law before a court. All three pieces of paper have a cumulative value of just under $100,000.

A dell is a cheap, creaky plastic machine built with the lowest cost materials its manufacturer could possibly source. A Macbook is made out of brushed aluminium and glass with back-lit keys. Why buy a nice anything when there's always a cheaper option out of cheaper materials on offer?

It's name brand more than anything that makes them so expensive.

PC [QUOTE="MakeMeaSammitch"]

Probably an xbox.

SNIPER4321

did u bought it on launch day? either way i believe buying console in launch is waste of money. i mean theres lot of ppls getting xbox one at launch while have too much flaws like DRM, no used games etc.

They reversed the DRM and used game polices like 2 months ago.

My PC is probably the most expensive thing I have ever gotten. Although since it's a bunch of parts not sure if that counts.
