How to reply to questions about stereo cost?


How much did you pay for that? I could by a car for that. We already have a car.
You could send your kids to college for that much money.
My kids are lazy and stupid. They think they are gonna inherit the money I'm spending on this stereo.
What does your wife say? I can't hear when the stereo is playing.
It's already depreciated. I bought it used.

I try to differentiate between those who clearly express an interest in making a purchase and those who just wat to tell me how stupid I am. Or the people who I owe money to.
Once my wife said "we could have bought a nice piano for that." I reminded her that the stereo would actually have music emanating from it......
My father has maybe $40K in his rig and well over 11,000 recordings.....most ask how much the music cost and dont bother with gear.
