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.

All but 3 here cost more than my house!! I have about $11000.00 retail but paid about $6000 in actual cost.Albert, if you would donate one of your "extra" IC's to me I could probably pay off my house!! :)

i was too embarrased to post when i first saw this thread. i'm now happy to report that my audio-only system is quite modest, coming in at only 45.51% of albertporter's.- kelly

I am with David, I barely spent $10,000 and I thought I was hot stuff. Like a fool, I bought it all new (wish I knew about Audiogon back then). Well for now, I have kids to put through college. Maybe when I am an empty nester I could be more like Al but for now I can only dream.

I hate to break the theme, especially as I started it, but nobody should be ashamed at what they have spent! I am actually quite surprised at the amounts that are being posted and still believe that there have to be many posters out there in the sub 10K range.

Everyone of us started somewhere.
