What is the most expensive thing you have bought secondhand?

Canon 5D mkii camera which I paid just over a grand for on the TP forums members market about a decade ago. Don’t think I have taken a picture with it in a year or two!

iPad Air

A Leica M6 TTL (2k ish), and Leica Summicron 50mm 1.2 (1.5k ish) bought back when I was living in HK.

Kinda regret letting them go a couple of years ago now, prices have been going up.

Same. I barely use my dslr now. Keep thinking about selling my kit. But it's hard to let go.

Couldn't think of anything actually interesting then remembered I bought a Chevy 5.7L V8 from someone who changed his mind on fitting it to a replica AC Cobra. Engine cost £1100. Spent £250 on stripping and servicing the engine to make sure it was sound. Then sold it for £2250 on Ebay a few weeks later.

Bought a grey market Rolex for £12600 last March.

I know I'd suddenly want it again if I sold it and it is now worth so little comparatively!

Reclaimed bricks and slates and everything else plundered from a skip!

An ibanez 7 string off ebay, while drunk.

I woke up after a night out clubbing with a broken toe, mashed knuckles and a £300 hole in my bank account.

A proper night out.
