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.

22.5k, but that is always changing as new pieces come and go; some more expensive, some less. What was the motive for this question?

Incredible. I really have questioned my sanity up to this point, now I know years of intensive therapy lie ahead. (8k retail, 4.7 k actual, accumulated over the past 5 years)

It's reassuring to know i'll be in good company.

~$ 7,000 retail, paid 4,300 due to used speakers (Meadowlark H.R. Shearwaters), and a good deal on a new integrated amp, Cary sli80, budget cables & wires, (DH Labs silver sonic), and a "cheap" CD player, Marantz cd63se, which is the next thing to be replaced, which will put my new reatail value ~ 8 or 9K. And my friends think I'M crazy! I've got about 25% of my $$ in CD's.

About 25k. Congratulations on this thread - it is, in my opinion, hands down the most amusing I've seen yet! It has activated everyone's sense of humor, especially the self-deprecating, and that's a good thing.

25025 +tax for 2-channel and add 17230+tax to round up to 5.1 channel. Zero show-off included. I probably paid about 20 % less than the total mentioned above. I wish I new about audiogon befor I bought the stuff from dealer. I have no plans for upgrade in near future. Am very happy with the system.
