A trombone for 3400 dollars. Gotta have a nice instrument if you're going to be a music major.

Hm, about 600? for parts for my new computer. Second most expensive was 500? for my car (So it was cheaper than my PC *g*).

Other things: Foam-Sword for Larping for 130? (Perfect quality)

I am not a rich man as you can see...

A wacom cintiq 24HD. I got it on a deal because I knew a guy, but it was still about 1700 after all was said and done.

I love it so much.

Hmmmm, probably my TV, a 50" Panasonic plasma for around $1500 if I recall. Though that's a thing I can get a lot of use out of, I guess a more specific thing would be my nvidia GTX 780Ti graphics card for $850.

I think that'd be my desktop PC, and upgrades for it over the years. Most recently a fairly major upgrade at nearly $1500.

Looking to upgrade my audio gear soon, which will most likely end up being a costly undertaking, but with the stuff I'm looking at it still won't rival my PC.

While I would say mt PC but my parent did paid most of it (the next PC will be with my own cash now that I got a job).
Anyway I think it was the Wii that was the most expensive thing I have bought since I bought it on launch day including getting LoZ: Twilight Princess and extra Wiimote and nunchuck so it was around £200 I think? (It was a long time ago.)

$1600NZD on my current PC, sooo $1360ish USD. Worth every cent, and I plan on selling/passing it on to my GF and then using some of that to upgrade to a new one.

I think I put right around $2500 into my desktop with about $200 of that being shipping.

Can't really think of any big-ticket items(aside from $4000 for an old BMW) that I've bought.

Probably my PC or holidays. Those things are pretty expensive if you count all the combined expenses for them.

I've also spent a hell of a lot on 1/6 scale action figures. It's like you see one thing that's cool and then you need to make an entire 1/6 scale universe... Just got these little fellas [http://www.worldofthreea.com/portal-2/w5h59wdmteu5o8zwbhuyq0a5kfu2zk] today!

Let's see...

Well, for starters, there's my first PS3, which I picked up for $500. Eventually it bricked, and I had to pick up a replacement for $250.

My current PC... jeez, I bought that so long ago I'm not 100% sure how much I spent on it, but I believe it was $700.

Beyond electronics, I think the most expensive luxury item I've ever bought was this:



Masterpiece Soundwave for $120 bucks. Totally worth it.

My computer, I guess.
Was about £700 and then it broke (the motherboard caught fire a little bit)- so it's gonna cost me about £200 to fix it. :(
I'm using my boyfriend's until payday, and even then I may not be able to fix it all in one go.

It's been a while since I bought it but in terms of one off payments one of my guitars(specifically my 7-string prestige ibanez) is the most expensive thing I've bought it was over £1000 which s pretty pricey.

I'm sure my drum kit probably cost me more overall but the cost for that is spread out. Same goes for my tattoo's which isn't as expensive but it soon will be.

All the money I've dropped in Scuba Diving. That's an expensive hobby, so much so that I can't afford it and had to stop xD

I'm a student, so I saved up (read: worked my ass off and ate ramen) and bought myself this beauty
My Epiphone Matt Kiichi Heafy Les Paul Custom ($800)


I'm about to sell a lot of my old gear so I can afford to get this
Peavey 6505+ 60W combo (normally $750, found demo model for $400)
