Oversteps vinyl....-pretty steep if you ask me.

it's fucking nuts. how much did you end up paying for it?

Sennheiser HD-650

and

Little Dot MKIII

Got the headphones refurb so they were only $400 instead of $650, and the amp was about $200.

i think i paid 30-35 for it from amazon....which isnt even a guarantee, but im not signing up to bleep to buy one album.

I'm thinking about getting a Canon EOS 500D, but 600 quid is a bit of a scary amount to part with in one go ....

You're not considering the 550D then?

Also, look into the pentax k-x if you've got a good 50mm/f1.7 lying around = bang for the buck. [great battery-life too if you get the right kinda AA's for it]

I bought a new cellphone today. Was cheap, somewhat water repellent and films 640x480 @ 30fps. Could care less about its "eco-friendly"ness, but my mind fell for it so it does make me feel more caring.

im new to vinyl, but my understanding is once the record is released you have approximately 12 hours to purchase it at a reasonable price before jagoffs start charging 4x because it is "rare"

a $480k apt lol

46 gallon bowfront fishtank, stand, lights, filter, substrate, & fish for $350

yeah, good point. usually if i spring for a vinyl it's used and a somewhat limited pressing, which has slowly gotten me used to paying so much. they know people will buy it either way i guess.

the irony of my purchase was that it was made with gov't money.

i guess i can't bitch about moochers now, can I?

good ol' scholarships/loans.

I got an old friend a Porsche Design shaking pen for $90. Silly little thing, but I knew that he'd really appreciate that sort of thing. Plus, I remember when my dad used to get those kinds of gifts, I guess they made an impression on me as gifts that grown up men give each other..

finally got

$64.99 not a bad fucking price if I do say so myself

lol you know what's up. It got me 140 square meters. If I had purchased 7 months earlier as I had planned, it would have cost me 30% less. Can you say overheated property bubble? Still I'm one of those who don't believe it will ever go down. I just wish I had bought in a year and a half earlier like my friend and doubled his money.

needless to say that wasn't cash down. I've been saving for some time. One nice thing about buying in Shanghai - no property tax!

actually from those post your salary threads way back when I remember there being a handful of well-to-do watmmers.

£1100 on conveyancing fees

£200 on new tyres

Now broke.
