How much does your system retail for?

$23,000 - $24,000 I estimate. (Two channel, this does not include TV, VCR, etc.)

Please, keep the exagerations to a minumum, do not count CD's, equipment you have bought and sold, is packed away that you don't use anymore, etc..

Put the total first so it shows up at the begining of your post.

This is just for fun and curiosity of the diversity on here, don't take it to seriously. Simply evaluate what the retail value of your system is.

Retail: 3.07 million Actually paid: 1.15 million
Does that drop anyone's jaws?

Damn well it should - it's in Japanese yen. Perhaps a more appropriate measure is that the system "retailed" for the equivalent of about 125 hotels on Boardwalk (cost me 45-50 hotels).

Last time I posted, I wrote my system was worth 125 Boardwalk hotels retail (and I had "paid" 40-50 hotels). I off by a factor of five - I had forgotten my Monopoly® rules. It was more like 25 hotels (assuming it costs 5 houses to buy a hotel), and I had paid 8-10.

Three years later I look at this thread and I am up to about 90 hotels (retail) and a bit over 30 hotels actually paid.

Sheesh. What am I thinking?!

Biomimetic,
I could not agree more. My total "retail price" has climbed quite a bit, especially in 2007-adjusted dollar terms, but the vintage stuff is A LOT cheaper than the new stuff and bang for buck is unbeatable. And hell, it sounds pretty good on its own anyway... :^)
