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.

Around 30K. I can't believe I just typed that, but it is true. Two years ago when the salesmen asked me what I wanted to spend I said I could MAYBE stretch it up to $2500 for a system. Of course, what I have now was purchased for much, much less than retail, but it is still an absurd number. What is more absurd still is that I could happily take it up to 80K retail and probably still find a way to long for an upgrade.

The good news is that sanity is returning. I was in a store a few days back, and while greatly enjoying a $4000 system I starting to think about downgrading. I haven’t done it, but at least I am thinking rationally again.

As every year goes by, the cost of my system seems more reasonable.

By the time I'm 100 I bet I'll think it was free.

40k, give or take. Stereo only. Mostly in the speakers. Spent around 10k. Almost there.
