How many computers do you have? What are the specs anyway, if you built them yourself then you probably would have not spent 5000

A limited-run poster about John Waters, signed by John Waters.

Certainly rare, potentially very rare indeed. I may have the only one of its kind, or there may be only a handful of others kicking around out there. No idea about monetary value, but it originally cost $40, from an invitational poster exhibition at uni. May be worthless, but I plan to mount it and frame it and see what the decades say about it.

So, probably that, but I also have a hardcover copy of Dungeons and Dragons' Deities and Demigods that includes the cthulu mythos. My understanding is that those keep getting harder to find.

A soul.

Dun dun dun, I'm ginger.
Wait! I'm a ginger, and I wasn't given a soul!
Were you genetically altered, or perhaps created in some sort of testing chamber?

I demand a refund!
The devil doesn't do refunds. That's why I stole my soul back at the age of seven, right after I traded it for a cookie. For you see, I'm no simple ginger! No pure ginger! Mine is dark! I HAD BROWN HAIR! MWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

This object that you own could be sentimentally expensive or monetarily expensive and rare but I just want to know what yours is.

For me my rarest object would be one of the first buzz lightyear figures. because I have had it since I was like 2 and because its worth quite a lot now.
Same here, I have those, hell, for some reason I have 2 big ones, 3 small ones and two woody figures.

Rarest: An animation cell from the anime Samurai Pizza Cats (English dub title). Literally one of a kind (as far as that cell goes), so it's as rare as can be.

Most expensive: My Jeep.

I move around a bit, and I hate the process of moving. So I routinely prune out the excess in my life, I own very little that's not immediately important to me. Clothing, car, cheap guitar (ha that rhymes), amp, few gaming systems, box of games (which I routinely sell once I lose interest), shelf of books, tv, my portfolio (for employment purposes, I'm not nostalgic at all with my art), drum set (I don't drum but that's one less thing I need in a drummer eh?), laptop, ipod, turn table speakers and record collection, small cactus aaaand that might be...it?

Absolutely hate gifts that serve zero practical purposes and take up much space at all. Because I feel bad getting rid of it.

So yeah, I don't think I've got much of anything in the rarity and/or expensive dept. Maybe a couple of comics, couple of really old first edition books and records.

PS. Most of that stuff is actually still stored in boxes from the last time I moved, which was almost a year ago. So yeah.

I have a colt navy that was actually used in the US Civil War.
I have it's competitor the Remington 1858 used in the same war.

Not that either are really rare or expensive.

I suppose the rarest, and most valuable thing I own would have to by my house. Seriously it's damned expensive, and since it was mostly hand built by my father its the only one like it.

I got me one of those as well. We are part of a club that is only about 100,000 or so strong.

Most valuable is probably my complete set of Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon Yugioh cards, although several of the commons are in rather crappy condition and only two of the cards are 1st edition. Possibly some of my old PC or Sega Genesis games instead, I don't really know what any of those are worth.

Rarest, I guess maybe my copy of Final Fantasy X with the cover insert signed by Nobuo Uematsu.

Sentimental - An old teddy bear that my grandmother made for my mum who then gave it to me (and not my older sister)

Rare - A book published in 1897 containing stories of Greek mythology

Monetary - Not sure but I use to have a collection of Power Rangers Zord toys that were worth >$1000 that I gave away.

Rare? Not sure. I mean, I have a lot of unique things, but rare items people would value? I have a 5 zeni coin from the 22nd year of Meiji, 1889 that is. It'd be definitely hard to come by in Australia at least.

Expensive wise...don't really have that much that's worth anything too much. Even my PC isn't worth much anymore. My laptop probably is the most valuable...doesn't say much though.

Probably my laptop, I love this thing to death <3 My first PC ever actually bought brand new that wasn't built from half new half old parts.
