The most expensive single object?

I think a Seagate X15. Unfortunately I never got to use it, I had it sold before it ever arrived to me. :(

I decided that having the $450 towards a car was more important than having a 15K RPM HD.

My sophomore year of college education. $30,000.

That's what happened when I lost my scholarship.

well, i never purchased my car (my parents did...Infiniti G20).

let's see...for a "collection" of items, it would be my computer, $2300 (self-built: Dual PIII-700, GeForce 2 GTS, etc., with a Viewsonic PF790 perfect flat 19" monitor).

for a single item, my Pocket PC (Casio EM-500) for $350.

My computer. 1G. I told my dad that I really needed it for school and he spit out about 1G to build a brand new system w/o monitor.

Oh yeah, my monitor costed me $500.00 of my graduation money!

My breast implants. They cost around 5000$, but they have proven to be hours of fun. Sometimes, I sit in front of the mirror and stare at them in all their beauty, wondering what they would look like with racing stripes or leopard spots.

Instead, I coat them with Ben Gay and feel the menthol work it's magic.

Sony Wega 36XBR with stand. Definitely the most expensive item I've ever purchased besides my Acura CL-S.

Hmm, if we're talkin total price, then it'd be my comp. If we're talkin' one time expenditure, it would be my bike. Nice Cannondale mountain bike. Paid $650 for it used. Estimated cost of all parts new, $1350. Not a bad deal.

Mr Isla's wedding ring (it's got diamonds in it).... and he never wears it! It cost me $500, but for a person who has never made much more than minimum wage (when working for an employer as a slave), it was a fortune.
