What\'s Your Stuff Worth?
 
This link was posted in LOL. It's an eBay listing for someone selling all their worldly possessions.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180111240725

My question is, what do you think all your stuff would sell for if you sold it? It doesn't need to be one whole lot like this, but if you sold everything you have, what do you think you could get for it? Include cars, houses, whatever you think can be sold. Let's ignore debt here and just talk about the cash you would generate.

For me, I've got a car worth about $20K. Other than that I've got a fairly new computer, a laptop, a cheap TV, a bed, a desk, some dressers, a PS2, an XBox, a few games for each, a Zen Touch MP3 player, iPod nano, and iPod Shuffle. All of that...ummm, maybe $2-3K depending on what I could get for the computers. Somehow I think I could scrape up $1K for all my remaining random items. I'll say $20K for the car and high end $5K for my stuff. So, I think $25K is a decent estimate. Paying off my car loan, I'd be worth about $5K, which is sad. What about you?

(I think these should be decent breakouts. Remember, this is the gross amount you'd make.)

car- 35k
2 Jeeps- 6k
clothes- new probably about 30k, I have no idea what used clothes would sell for
used Golfclubs- 2k
computer/monitors/laptop- 7k
safe- 500
Gas gril- 400$
weber smoker- 100$

thats about it as far as valueables, my tv is fairly crappy, my bed is only worth about 300 new, and I could probably get about 2 or 3 k for the rest of my furniture/books.

Yeah, I think clothes are crazy in depreciation. I probably have spent over $15K on the clothes I have right now, but I don't think they'd sell for much at all.

I inherited some lake property that's worth over $800k easy. And my own home is worth over $200K, so that's over a mil right there. Real estate, baby.

Actually, I forgot about my suits, etc, those are probably about 15 to 20k worth, new, so a grand total of about 45k?, but Id bet that suits dont depreciate as quickly?

Yeah, I figure there might be quite a few real estate people over $1 million. I thought about another category over a million, but I was already at 10 answers and said [censored] it.

Suits may be worth something. Dunno. Anyone have an experience in selling used clothing?

My house is over $500K, but if my mortgage was subtracted I'd be in the $100K - $200K category.

My car is worth around 8k probably, my tv about $500. So probably around nine grand.

I'm a straight up baller.

well, the computer stuff is all relatively new, and I dont really know what depreciation would be on it, I have a really nice laptop, 3 20in dell lcds, a custom built 'puter, 4 gig ram, 2 500gig HD's, etc, plus I have a rack with 2 IBM Eservers I got of craigslist for testing stuff, bluetooth dongles, wireless routers, a ton of hubs/switches/routers, some CISCO routers, a CCNA kit basically a closet full of random stuff.

Mondogarage 04-26-2007 06:35 PM

Re: What\'s Your Stuff Worth?
 
The depreciation doesn't really hit that stuff until technology passes it. Though storage is megacheap, so the HD's aren't worth much.

If you're more than one generation of CPUs behind, you're hosed. But your setup sounds like it's probably still good. Mine's just a AMD 2500XP based system I built around 3 years ago or so that still runs great, but isn't PCI-Express, isn't 64-bit, etc, etc.

Condo around $420k. Computers I have paid $6-7k for and they are less than a year old, but I still couldn't get much for them. Maybe $2k. Nintendo wii $500. TV, dvd player, cell phone, furniture, "art", maybe $2000. Clothes and sunglasses $1000. So around $426k [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Not subtracting for mortgage is weird.

Let's just say you are planning on fleeing the country with all this money and defaulting on all your outstanding debts.

Re: What\'s Your Stuff Worth?
 
I have like a decent computer and a few guitars and that's about it. I could just abandon my apt and I wouldn't be that much worse off than I am now (well the computer has a lot of invaluable stuff on it, so keep that).
