RM3,000 For A Pair Of Used Levi’s Jeans??

The title is just a gimmick… doesn’t related to anyone dead or alive… :D

Just curious, how much have you spent THE MOST on a SINGLE ITEM? What was it? Mind sharing?? (Of course your houses & vehicles doesn’t count.. ) ;)

 

Few samples:

Apparel – Jeans, signature design, batik ekslusif (Thursday uniform.. hehe)… RM500??

Electrical appliances - Plasma TV, refrigerator, blu-ray player… RM3000??

Furniture - Dining set, imported mattress, built-in wardrobe… RM2000??

Gadget - Laptop, DSLR, mobile phone, game console… RM2000??

Hobby & Interest - Stamp, toy, other collector’s item, football match ticket … RM500??

Jewelry - Necklace, earrings, bangles, my precious… RM1000??

Others… RM???

 

I personnally never spend more than RM2400 on a single item.. until today.. hmmm.. and my top 3 are:

1. Refridgerator (Sharp Plamacluster) – RM2,400

2. Digital camera (Nikon) – RM2,000

3. Sofa set (kedai perabot cina tepi jalan) – RM1,500

 

I’m doing this mini survey to learn on spending habit.. your thoughts and comments are very much appreciated!

    2. The most expensive I ever spent on ‘dead’ item .. Oakley sunglases, GBP 60.00 …. (beli kat Uk, tak rasa mahal, masa tu tengah masyuk keje kilang + niaga ebay)… :)

    3. lari tajuk

    ..baru perasan kat atas tu ko tulis “…grew up playing konda kondi.. ” …

    ko dgn aku sama era ..dah masuk kategori ‘brader’.. kikiki

    4. @ sam, sunglass branded.. okla.. time masyuk lak tu kan? hehe

    oooo.. so you’re familiar with konda kondi?? my younger brother have not heard about that game.. dah pupus ke skrg?

  4. spatt on Thu, 19th Feb 2009 4:34 am

    Ada lagi mahal?ada lagi murah? btaw mana tempat tu,saya akan berkejar kesana…

  6. budeen on Thu, 19th Feb 2009 10:22 am

    7. @ spatt, i’ve been holding my desire to own it since it was first released.. dont know how long it can stand.. :D
    wait! you mentioned late PSP.. what happenned??

    @ j_hafiz, at one time i’m very close in buying kawasaki ninja 250R.. RM20K cash tu.. dah siap test ride lagi kat kedai.. but after rationalising my priorities in life, the plan collapsed.. anyway i mentioned above that house & vehicle dont count.. :)
    haaa… yg jeans tu ok.. tapi awat 2nd hand bundle pun mahal sgt? isk..

  7. samdaddycool on Thu, 19th Feb 2009 2:12 pm

    8. …Nasib baik ko tak beli kawasaki 250R.. kalau tak aku irihati sebab sumur hidup aku, belum berjaya optimize B full aku…

    9. wah..ada dslr…

    haha

  11. budeen on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 9:09 am

    12. @ Callister, i didnt mentioned anything about dslr.. hehe

  12. budeen on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 9:11 am

    13. @ etomyam, that’s rite.. RM3k is huge amount to be spent only for a pair of 2nd hand used jeans.. anyway when you got married, you call yourself getting an item??

  13. budeen on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 9:25 am

    14. @ adi, if you are looking for camera phone, then go for k801i.. cyza pun pakai yg sama..

  14. Shaffik on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 12:52 pm

    15. the most expensive that o bought is DSLR RM3500 last year. Tapi dah balik modal pun…heheheh

  15. budeen on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 4:50 pm

    16. @ Shaffik, fuyoo.. what brand? which model? best tu… balik modal buat free lance ke wedding ke?? :)

  16. azwan on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 10:47 pm

    17. Most expensive is my house, next is my car, tapi kan .. yang tu guna loan. kalau beli terus bayar .. ha..ha.. tak nak cakap lah.

  17. Cyza on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 11:02 pm

    18. Not considering house, car and hantaran…

    I have spent:

    RM 4500 for stupid OSIM massage chair.
    RM 450++ for 3 pairs of Batik.
    RM 1740 for my Laptop I’m using now… (paid by my online money, TQ)

    Lain2 tak ingat…

    Oh yea….Not K801 but K810i

  18. budeen on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 11:40 pm

    19. @ Azwan, kan dah ckp rumah & kereta tak kira.. yg tak nak cakap tula yg org nak tau.. :)

  19. budeen on Fri, 20th Feb 2009 11:47 pm

    20. @ cyza, I bet u regret badly on the 1st one.. the 3rd one is probably your best purchase rite? And yes I mean k810i.. it was typo.. :)

    24. aku pernah gak spend mende mende macam ni,
    tapi selalunye utk gadget la… kalau pakaian?
    aku jenis tak kesah… pasar malam pon sudehhh~
    janji ianya baru keluar plastic… pedulikkan tiruan
    atau original.. janji tutup aurat. tapi kalau bab gadget..
    aku akan carik sampai puas hati.. sebab nak keluar duit
    bukannye murah beb, lepas tuh nak jual… susah nak laku,,,
    hahaha…

    P/S:- beli umah jugak untuk… makin lame makin mahal~

  24. budeen on Sun, 22nd Feb 2009 8:12 am

    25. @ Azman, betul tu man.. alang2 spend utk gadget biar sampai pueh hati.. alah membeli menang memakai.. tapi man pakaian kalau beli pasar malam pun kekadang lepas basuh sekali dah berkedut & kecut.. kolar jadi besar.. hehe..
    sebenarnya byk cara nak beli brg baik dgn harga murah.. WAREHOUSE SALE!! hahaha.. cuma nak bersesak tu yg malas.. anyway it’s up to individual… :)
