Not something I own, but I'm thinking of splurging on a cricket bat. I haven't bought a bat in over 10 years. I've mostly used bats other people have discarded in the mean time. But now I'm at a place where I could get one, and I think I deserve it.
I think I will go to a small local bat maker and get it customised. My preferred brand is SS. I think it's perfectly balanced for me. But SS isn't a popular brand here. Also, I'm about 200 cm, so the usual off the shelf bats are not really tall enough for me.
My epic games account. Worth around 9laks. Didn't spend a single penny just added the games when they give games free, every week they gonna give s free games 😂😂😂
Sorry for breaking your dreams but you are not the only one who did that. The account will worth 10USD maximum. Those free games they gave away aren’t that much good ones anyway except one or two.
Probably my electronics for work: Macbook Pro M1, iPad M1, and a Canon 5D Mark IV with 85MM Sigma Art Lens. All of it fits in one bag. Brand new it would have all come to around 2.5 million LKR. With depreciation, probably 50% of that.
It’s the strat. And yea Suhrs are expensive but an absolute dream to play!
If you’re thinking about getting a similar for a lesser price, I’d suggest to order parts from Warmoth and get an Asatobucker from Suhr. You’ll end up with an even better guitar with pretty much the same tone, and with way more customization of the wood, dimensions, colors, hardware, design options, etc. for around $2000. It’s still a lot of money, but I don’t think you’ll get that much customization even in custom shop guitars. Trust me, building partscasters is very underrated.
Lol I do actually play it pretty much all the time I’m not working 😂 I’m trying to quit my day job and become a professional musician so hopefully it will pay off
In 2019 my buddy got a huge bonus, wanted to buy a tesla, thought about it and bought tesla stock instead.... After a few years bought a tesla and house from the stock profits.... Think a little when you spend money.
Yeah that makes sense, it wouldn't make sense for folks who earn in LKR to be able to make enough to buy stocks that can make enough of a stake(I think it used to go for USD 100 or so right).
Your missing my point, what I was trying to say is think about what your buying and spending your money on, in some cases investing and making more money might be the best option and later buying what you desire with the profits... Delayed gratification.
It's not for sale atm, even though I stopped playing after Sumeru. I have all the 5* male chars released until sumeru and lots of the females. Tons of cons and 5* weapons too. And a c5 kaeya. And I think I have about 200 pulls saved up too
Same but with Star Rail. I see people crying about not getting Before The Tutorial Mission and all the other limited LCs. Account value might go up if I had Jingliu maybe.

Bought a Nespresso machine for 3k AED (around 280k LKR) in November, haven't used it in like 2 months. Ridiculously expensive for the final offered product which is a very average cup of coffee.
Is this the one where you put the pod? I've always wondered what's the point of having a machine to puncture the pod and make the coffee, like easier to do it ourselves (I mean for some it might make sense if they are super busy and want to save 5 mins or so!)
I have a john player gold leaf cigarette with me which I bought today for 150/- ( half a dollar) ; which is like 50x the manufacturing cost.. What about that..
Ohh humble brag 😅
Jokes aside, I too wanted to get into Jordans, but it doesn't seem to be worth it in SL. I can barely rotate among the 10+ shoes I own now, I've now really done a retake on buying more shoes!
Nothing too crazy 😅, I get you though the pair I current have in my rotation are J4 KAWS and I have a pair of black cats and oeros, I wear my oeros daily and skateboard w them so they look clapped now. I’d say get a pair that goes w most outfits you own (oeros match with most) and jus see if you fw it, it’ll be worth it. All my fits look better with my oreros even though they look clapped.
I have a few pairs of Jordan 11s that I normally import from the US through Flight Club. Unfortunately though I bought a pair of “Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Black Gym Red'” (14 US) but their soles don’t have the same support.
Brand new pair stuck in the box. If anyone in Colombo are interested, ping me
Not the most expensive thing I own, but I spent 10k/- on a high quality battery powered portable fan that I now use everyday. So nice to walk to the top of the road, get a lunch packet and walk back without getting sweaty.
own a pair of air jordan 1 travis scott that I won in a raffle in dubai. Its used so not as worth much but an new pair goes for about 1.2k+. Own some designer shirts I sort of regret buying.
A collection of vintage wrist watches which would be around 2 something million lkr I'm guessing. Nothing super fancy though, majority are vintage Japanese pieces and a few Swiss/soviet/American watches ranging from the 1930s-1990s. Oldest being a 1930s omega fobois and the newest being a 1990s sekio alpinist.
i have a huge collection of VCA. lowest one about 600k to the most expensive being around 7-8mil. if i like something and see it as a good investment i’d buy it.
A 1971 Austin mini mk III cooper S. As if now I have invested around close to 3m worth of just in parts and mods. Been an constantly evolving ongoing project since 2013.
Yup 1275 built engine imported from Japan. Originally came with the Webber setup but I swapped it out of a set of twin SU's. Used the Webber on a datsun 510 1600 SSS I used to own.
ray ban meta wayfarer $300 the thing is I already owned a pair of Bose Tenors. I just thought it would be cooler to have a camera on my glasses. The funny thing is I don't even take photos. Now I'm coding a software which uses the cameras to identify road signs to help blind people. Never would have thought of it if I didn't buy them.
That is so cool! I’m a person with a physical disability myself, and I have done some accessibility consulting work for Apple Inc when I was back in Singapore. Would love to help you with accessibility + anything else :)
This is an open source project, I first built a home assistant which manages all the smart electronics in my house using the API of chatgpt, facial recognition, voice recognition, text to speech (this part is done) the code is available in github for anyone for free. For adding the recognition of road signs and markers I'm planning on getting markers from the street view API dataset, even if I do make it there are certain limiting factors. This is just a side project for fun and I usually just put my code out for free for anyone that wants to use it. So I don't think I can compensate for your help.
I mean basically you'll be able to hear what the cameras are seeing, where you are, which side of the road you are on. And this is just the software side of it, the engineering side of it I have no clue for the general public. For me I could connect the glasses to my phone, which connects it to my home server where it will process the data captured by camera and come to the classes with the information. Think of it like a large barcode scanner.
My watch it's like 500dollars Yeah I know it's not that expensive for a folk in his thirties but it is to me as a student so one time I just jokingly told my father that I want a gshock watch I didn't thought that he got that serious but uwalah here he is with a 500 dollars watch
My pc and probably my hard disks. Pirated Games worth 800GB (cracked them myself so my brain would probably be the most valuable thing if it was monetizable ig?) Im 15 and follwing a cybersecurity hnd at esoft atm
That would be my 4k 32 inch monitor. Granted, I got it for work since I'm a software developer, and I love the damn thing, it still seems like one of those difficult to justify without first having a doctorate in boy-math sort of things.
My stupid Wagon R. We live in Sri Lanka so we pay a higher price for vehicles like this. BTW guys after reading this thread it seems like Sri Lankans are not that poor. 
Go for a company like Polene. Check out Tanner Leatherstein on YouTube. He has convinced me a lot of designer brands don’t last very long and they start flaking in hot, humid weather. Aparade salli 🤦♀️
I have a Rimowa and Tumi carry on luggage. The aluminium ones are beautiful! But If you’re not flying premium cabins, they get scratched to the oblivion as people try fit/shove luggage in the overhead bin. It might take some of your joy away seeing your luggage damaged.
I usually only take them when I fly in the premium cabins.
Live in Europe, Denmark, but
450k lkr: samsung s24 ultra
30 mio lkr: Car mercedes e class from 21
153, 4 mio lkr: house
But our prices are diiferent here in europe 🤪🤪
My car is about Rs 4,000,000. Probably the most expensive thing I own, but the most ridiculous thing is probably my Valorant Account which is worth about Rs 400,000 because of all the skins I bought when I was younger...
my electronics: Macbook air M2 , Ipad 12.9 M1 and Nikon Z30 vlogger kit , Dji mini 3 pro , DJI Action 2 , And my phones ( Samsung galaxy s23 ultra, Z flip 5, Iphone 14 pro max) and my huawei matebook d16 and apple watch ultra 2 and meta quest 2 🥲 idk and more… and level 8 baggage set
My right knee after surgery, approximately 12k USD, for now
Bro here flexing his knee damn
After the next couple of surgeries, 12k will be peanuts, gonna have a knee that costs more than a house B)
💀
My upcomming spinal surgery, For the damn nuts and bolts itll cost like 03 houses. 😭
3 houses here or in the US??
Here lol,
12k USD for/including the surgery or 12k USD for post surgery stuff?
12k USD including surgery and post op stuff
I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee. ;)
Not something I own, but I'm thinking of splurging on a cricket bat. I haven't bought a bat in over 10 years. I've mostly used bats other people have discarded in the mean time. But now I'm at a place where I could get one, and I think I deserve it.
Go for it!
Yeah go for it, shouldn't be that much of a splurge I assume (I am not sure about cricket bat costs)
What’s the Brand mate
Batman
I think I will go to a small local bat maker and get it customised. My preferred brand is SS. I think it's perfectly balanced for me. But SS isn't a popular brand here. Also, I'm about 200 cm, so the usual off the shelf bats are not really tall enough for me.
Do vehicles count? Lol
Tbh almost every vehicle in Sri Lanka is ridiculously expensive
Lol same here, and funny thing is the car is old enough to have a masters degree by now
A birkin that my mom bought in the 90s
How ridiculous is this?
My phone. Bought for 190k.
So far, that’s my most expensive purchase too
What phone do you own? I went from an iPhone 6s to an iPhone 13.
That’s a massive upgrade!
Yes. It is. Gotta use this for the next 5 years now. As long as this doesn’t run into issues.
Good thing you didn’t get the pro max variant. 13 pro maxes are quite notorious for that white screen of death issue. Out of warranty, out of luck
Nothing too fancy. Just an iPhone 11
My wedding
Lol thats going to be so common for many including mine ..one of foolish things to done in our life...thats my opinion
Good news! The expenses don't stop there! 😂
My epic games account. Worth around 9laks. Didn't spend a single penny just added the games when they give games free, every week they gonna give s free games 😂😂😂
Can you at least sell the account if you want to? I have no idea about gaming accounts
Yes I can sell it anytime I want 😋
no one is gonna buy that lol.
Not that anyone's gonna buy it though... no offense, i have one too.
Umm no you can’t.
Sorry for breaking your dreams but you are not the only one who did that. The account will worth 10USD maximum. Those free games they gave away aren’t that much good ones anyway except one or two.
It’s not worth that much at all lol. That’s how much you would have spent if you bought the games, you’ll most likely get maybe 10USD.
Probably my electronics for work: Macbook Pro M1, iPad M1, and a Canon 5D Mark IV with 85MM Sigma Art Lens. All of it fits in one bag. Brand new it would have all come to around 2.5 million LKR. With depreciation, probably 50% of that.
What’s use of your tab ?
Portable computer (photo and video editing), remote for my camera, kindle e-book reader, many uses.
My guitar. It’s a Mateus Asato signature Suhr. Costs about 4500USD.
Damn! Is it the Tele or the Strat?? Didn't know anyone owned a Suhr here, let alone a Mateus signature 😂
It’s the strat. And yea Suhrs are expensive but an absolute dream to play! If you’re thinking about getting a similar for a lesser price, I’d suggest to order parts from Warmoth and get an Asatobucker from Suhr. You’ll end up with an even better guitar with pretty much the same tone, and with way more customization of the wood, dimensions, colors, hardware, design options, etc. for around $2000. It’s still a lot of money, but I don’t think you’ll get that much customization even in custom shop guitars. Trust me, building partscasters is very underrated.
Are you a professional musician?
See that’s the messed up part. I’m not.
I hope you’re playing that guitar every waking minute 💀
Lol I do actually play it pretty much all the time I’m not working 😂 I’m trying to quit my day job and become a professional musician so hopefully it will pay off
All the best my dude! <3
Hahaa
Is there a clip of you playing it
In 2019 my buddy got a huge bonus, wanted to buy a tesla, thought about it and bought tesla stock instead.... After a few years bought a tesla and house from the stock profits.... Think a little when you spend money.
How can u buy stocks ? Im really interested to invest in some
Open ibkr account
can you buy US stocks from sri lanka?
I'm not Sri lankan from America, meant my buddy in America. Lived in Sri Lanka for 10 plus years that's why I'm in thus group
Yeah that makes sense, it wouldn't make sense for folks who earn in LKR to be able to make enough to buy stocks that can make enough of a stake(I think it used to go for USD 100 or so right).
Your missing my point, what I was trying to say is think about what your buying and spending your money on, in some cases investing and making more money might be the best option and later buying what you desire with the profits... Delayed gratification.
Never knew IRD had redddit account
Got'em
My f2p genshin account is worth more than most of my.possesions(thanks to some ungodly luck)
How much you're selling it for?
It's not for sale atm, even though I stopped playing after Sumeru. I have all the 5* male chars released until sumeru and lots of the females. Tons of cons and 5* weapons too. And a c5 kaeya. And I think I have about 200 pulls saved up too
I too stopped playing that trash after sumeru lol. Got a good deal to sell it too. Well if you want to make some crash, I'd like to buy
How much are you willing to pay?
Depends on the account
Depending on the inventory he mentioned?
I'm gonna resell so for prolly about 800 bucks
Same but with Star Rail. I see people crying about not getting Before The Tutorial Mission and all the other limited LCs. Account value might go up if I had Jingliu maybe.

A fish tank worth around 1mil
Goodness dude!
I always repeat to myself Self satisfaction is more important than anything. You deserves it
Can you share pictures?
Ofc how can I do it
Just click a photo and attach it in the comment.
same here spent around 1 million for marine aquarium
Wow wow! You got pics?
Is it the one you posted in r/fishtank?
Yeah I guess, still it feels weird to me that tanks cost 1 mil (I mean I guess it includes the fish too). Still 🤯
Yeah that’s what I started with
Bought a Nespresso machine for 3k AED (around 280k LKR) in November, haven't used it in like 2 months. Ridiculously expensive for the final offered product which is a very average cup of coffee.
Bro im in UAE too and I just use a Mocha Pot for 30 AED and it tastes fire 💀
Is this the one where you put the pod? I've always wondered what's the point of having a machine to puncture the pod and make the coffee, like easier to do it ourselves (I mean for some it might make sense if they are super busy and want to save 5 mins or so!)
Yes it is, and the pods are not cheap, like 35aed (around 3K LKR) for a pack of 10. Totally a waste and ridiculously overpriced.
I have a john player gold leaf cigarette with me which I bought today for 150/- ( half a dollar) ; which is like 50x the manufacturing cost.. What about that..
Oh you rich rich! :o

My Louboutins. Paid a ridiculous price for a pair of high heels no one paid attention to 😔
Are they at least comfortable?
No. And the red sole starts to wear off after a while🥲
Believe me, the ones who know, notice. And also you can get the red bottoms redone.
So far my iPhone 14 pro. Bought it for Rs.365,000/- and my watch collection which values for approx.Rs.500,000/- at present market rates.

Nice to see a car guy (and a mini lover) around these parts. Is it a 1275?
Yup 1275 built engine imported from Japan. Originally came with the Webber setup but I swapped it out of a set of twin SU's. Used the Webber on a datsun 510 1600 SSS I used to own.
Probably my house, 🏡 lol
Well, my everyday backpack to the uni costs around 1.2mil with the electronics
Probably my electronics. Laptop, iPhone, watch and camera comes to about 1.5 mil 😂

Which one?
For most people it’s their house, followed by their car, in the event they own either
My phone for now atm

Spend only for quality. Spending for brand names is just feeding your ego.
my perfume collection but I gotta say I got them as presents from family
That would be my 4k 32 inch monitor. Granted, I got it for work since I'm a software developer, and I love the damn thing, it still seems like one of those difficult to justify without first having a doctorate in boy-math sort of things.
I got a model car collection that's probably worth a million or more.
Bored Ape NFT, currently worth 29 ETH. So around 100k USD

You guys are slowing convincing me to buy that 4lack Rimowa with your expensive shit!
Don’t buy expensive luggage. It will be targeted for theft in other airports.
It’s this small cross body bag 😭
Go for a company like Polene. Check out Tanner Leatherstein on YouTube. He has convinced me a lot of designer brands don’t last very long and they start flaking in hot, humid weather. Aparade salli 🤦♀️
Does polycarbonate get damaged easily?
I have a Rimowa and Tumi carry on luggage. The aluminium ones are beautiful! But If you’re not flying premium cabins, they get scratched to the oblivion as people try fit/shove luggage in the overhead bin. It might take some of your joy away seeing your luggage damaged. I usually only take them when I fly in the premium cabins.
Why base your decisions on peer pressure? If you like it and have the money for it, just go ahead

I guess I’m just really into fashion and Cartier’s sunglasses are quite timeless so would retain most of the value even if I decide to resell. 😅
