"My wheelchair cost a little over $66,000. Anything that can be passed as a medical device is overcharged in my country. It's wild, I know! The United States of America. The wheelchair does have a seat lift, and can go up to 8 miles per hour. It has a USB charger connected to the chair battery, and lights (front, back) that are up to Europe's car standards (whatever that means). That said, I know for a fact that this chair did not cost anywhere near 66k to make, even if I factor in labor. For example, a phone holder. Those cost almost $200 but I can find one at Five Below for $5. And the USB charger, I've seen those cost upwards of $300 however the parts cost less than $5 to make and I know this because I had my uncle make me one for my previous chair. The lights? I can't remember but that package cost over $1,000 however you can get some really good headlights from the store for under $100. The advantage of getting some of these things covered via insurance is the warranty. That's about it."

"80.000 antique Harpsichord.

Edit: aight in Dutch we would write it as €80.000. I don't know its actual value but some antique-guy valued it some years ago. Some info: it was built around 1730 and passed down in my family. I don't play it myself (hate the sound tbh) and it's kept in a room with regulated humidity so it doesn't age as fast. Before the 2nd World War it was restored because some of the wood started falling apart. Since I don't like it myself I'm planning on donating it to a museum and stuffing the room with guitars, who I can play."

"I have a violin that’s been in our family for generations. It was made in 1812 Germany, my mom took it in for repairs when I was in HS and the place said that they didn’t feel comfortable doing it on such a nice violin and sent her to a specialist. I needed new pegs and a bridge- we also added a chin rest to the violin -it didn’t originally have one and my grandparents wouldn’t let me learn with one. We had no idea how valuable it was, but the specialist who repaired it said that it could be sold for easily 20 grand. I would never sell it, it’s been with my family for so long and it’s priceless just for that. It was a big deal that the family even gave it to me, it was argued that it was being given outside of the family because it’s my mom's side of the family that passes it down and obviously I have my father's last name, but my great aunt and grandfather insisted I should have it. Despite the fact that I had two other cousins that played the violin and one was male from my mom’s side."

"I have a 2.5 year old strophanthus petersianus. It is quite seriously priceless. I've tried to reach out to get help with this plant. Every university I've contacted, including the only 2 listed as hosting this plant, has said they know nothing about it. There does seem to be a guy in China growing it, so I'm not entirely alone. But that's the reality of it. Only me and some guy in China are growing this plant. I really do think it is literally priceless. My plant should flower soon and any babies I grow from that will flower in a few years. Their babies will be my third generation, and at that point I'll start selling them. At this time I think I can easily sell them for $100 each and that is me being generous. There are more common plants that go for a higher price."

"My bunad (Norwegian folk costume). Woolen dress that cost around $2700, not counting the silver decorations that you wear with it as well. There are a bunch of different bunads, inspired by rural clothes from the 18-19th century. They are all named after the place they are from, and most people who own one get it based on some sort of connection to the place. I have a Nordlandsbunad, since my dad is from Nordland (Northern parts of Norway)
Most of the bunads where designed in the 30's, but some of them can actually be traced back as what would be worn in the 18th century. The different types vary in price, but they are all very expensive. Some are just way more expensive than others, based on fabric, amount of embroidery, the silver brooches that accompany them etc. One of the more expensive ones is the Telemark Stakk (Google it, it's beautiful) A lot of young girls get them as a confirmation gift at 14-15 (that's how I got mine), or they are inherited through generations. It's getting more common for men to have them as well, but they usually buy them later in life bc it isn't "cool" to wear a bunad as a 14 year old boy. They are normally worn for big occasions, like our constitution day, which Norway takes very seriously. It is also acceptable to wear them for weddings, and many people wear them on Christmas eve, which is what we celebrate in Norway. I'm very much looking forward to wearing mine tomorrow."
