Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?

Putting security and personal safety issues aside, do you share with others how much you have invested in your system?

I can see cases when we share with those who are generally interested what the "tariff" is for superb audio reproduction. Or, those who are already know how tall you have to be to ride the ride.

Can you think of any other reasons (accountants, lawyers, insurance, etc)? Afterall, when your spouses second cousin pulls in the driveway in their Minivan, bragging about fact that you have $10k invested in cables may not be the best way show common interests?

What say you?

I tell them I sold my boat to buy a stereo system.  The rest is up to their imagination.

Naw.  I just make large posters and write the price in BIG RED NUMBERS on them and hang them from each component.

You know, subtle...

Cheers!

If they ask, and I know them well, I will tell them what it's insured for.....usually followed up by what I paid for everything.

I don't tend to invite strangers in off the street to listen to my gear, so I doubt it's a problem. Plus, like I indicated, it's insured.

I just say "I sold the dragster, so I need something to play with!"
