what's your next big purchase?

[mugs]

Hardwood floors. $7700 installed. Once I get the floors in I can finally buy a big TV. Probably a 50-52", $1500.

A honeymoon to the Florida Keys in July.

 

[ChaoZ]

Senn 650 and an amp to go with it. Probably ~$600. Don't think it'll be anytime soon.

 

[grrl]

Probably a Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP

 

[shortylickens]

Done.
I just ordered a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT for my car. Paid too much. This morning I found it online for less than half MSRP.
Will go back to the store and cancel the order today.

 

[techfuzz]

Closing on my first house at the end of May. And yes it costs more than $100

[Possessed Freak]

Replace my back porch as well as put in a first floor bathroom. $10k ish.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I'm dying for a new laptop, but it costs to much.

My next big expense will be a weekend getaway with the family. Guessing $500 or so.

[tk149]

Under the old rule (over-$100), I just bought a multi-ladder for $150. Under the new rule (over $250), no plans. Just a long wish list.

 

[Tea Bag]

Just got a new car for the fiancee Saturday. Wedding in three months. Then honeymoon after Christmas. Those items > $250

 

[NoCreativity]

Just bought a Simplicity vacuum. Only had a chance to use it once but so far $400 well spent. We will see how that opinion holds up over time though.

just bought a bunch of furniture, about $2200 total (cabinet, bookshelves, end tables), but that's already paid for, so it's not "next".

next actual big thing will probably be TV. might be time to replace the ol' 27" CRT.

damn, I thought only my parents were rocking a 27"

They spend more on dinner often than that TV is worth.

Haha, so do we.

Even my parents have replaced theirs.

Need to figure out what we're going to do for HD service, then we'll get the TV. (It'll be through DirecTV, but currently we have our own dish on our condo's porch, but apparently we can get service from a dish on the roof of the building? Have to get that straightened out.) Figure there's not much point in getting the TV if we're still getting the SD channels.

Just got a new TV on Friday (Pioneer KRP500M) and will be buying a couch in couple months when I move. http://www.furniture2go.com/product_detail.php?pid=754

PS3 this week, with MLB 09 The Show

 

[bobdole369]

PS3 or Xbox 360.

Receiver with very good speakers. Maybe a DAC and separate monoblocks, not sure yet. In any event I end up with 5.1 audio for everything.

Line conditioner/UPS/surge for the entertainment setup.

i recommend a ps3 for the bd capabilities since u mention an entertainment setup (assuming you have an hdtv).

 

[importdistributors]

My last purchases were:
3 weeks ago: 9 MM Glock
2 weeks ago: Renewed Gym membership

waiting a few weeks for my next purchase: Solar Powered Pancakes.

 

[Redfraggle]

Eyeglasses, a tooth removal, and a laptop. ( don't have health ins. so I can pay out of pocket or wait....that would change where they fall in the "rules" set)

 

[BassBomb]

Well I paid my tuition just yesterday ($5400), have to pay for glasses soon (470), HID retrofit (340), paint front lip of car (200?), pay for books (400?)....

 

[Babbles]

Not sure what will come first as it will either be a netbook or the bottom and middle component of a Craftsman tool storage cart.

 

[V00DOO]

F me, I just spent $600 for a pair used tower speakers.
