    I'm going to try and exclude my TVs and set ups like that.

    Acoustic foam and general basement renovations: 5000$
    Piano: ~1000$
    Drum set: 900$

    I honestly don't know of the value of a majority of the stuff in my house to be honest. I can say the freezer and fridge cost quite a bit. So did the house renovations, along with buying the land and all the materials to build the house. Uhhhhh TVs obviously cost a bit, so does the furniture. I'm honestly at a loss so there's my random three.

    Not a chance, they can make their own way in life.
    Im expecting it to increase maybe 50% because of the centenary, might hold on though till I need a new car or something.

    ...The most expensive thing I won is my car, to a geek it's the snes and nes consoles that are in mint condition (only the snes has it's box though).

    Otherwise nothing of importance.

    I have a working Intel 8088 laptop (around 3-4mhz) with 512kB of RAM, made in 1986, which is probably worth a fair bit.

    I have several first edition books, including shadowmancer by G.P Taylor (first edition worth around £5,000) and 'On playing with lions' by Virginia Mckenna, which is probably also quite valuable as it dates from 1966.

    I have a 16 (I think) year old broadcast grade digital video camera, which I think is worth a fair bit.

    I have a pair of hairbrushes that are about 75 years old, they were a 21st birthday present for my grandfather, and I inherited them when he passed away.

    I have a leather cased glasses cleaner that is probably over 100 years old. I also have a pocket watch of a similar age.

    I have a 60ish year old cricket bat signed by my grandfather from his days as a semi-professional cricketer.

    I have a miniture cricket bat signed by the (at the time) entire Durham Dynamos cricket team, and the (then) Sunderland AFC chairman, Peter Reid.

    I have a lot of limited edition prints of animal pictures, including two of Elsa, (the Born Free lioness) and one of Girl (the lioness who played Elsa in the first film).

    I'm pretty sure a few of my dos games are rare as well.

    I have quite a lot of rare lion king related stuff as well, including a signed script from the movie, a very rare Nala plushie (it looks quite common until you notice the eyes are embroidered rather than bits of plastic, thats what makes it rare), photos signed by Moira Kelly and Nikita Calme (adult and child Nala respectively), original character designs for child Nala and a lion king twister game. Almost forgot: I also have the entire Lion King movie on 8mm film.

    I have a silver early 1900's coin used in the Philippines during the American Period here...

    I keep it in my wallet for luck but well, it at least keeps my wallet safe, but the money, not.

    I found it on our coin change box in the living room.

    I really hope i could have it appraised but well, that cost money.

    My dad worked for almost 30 years in the Central Bank before retiring, and he was given an uncut whole page of paper money, i think it was their christmas bonus in lieu of real cash. It has like 15-25 pieces and he said it was extremely rare and valuable.

    He also gave and took back a set of mint coins...mostly from marcos era... and they were real heavy gold and silver coins...

    Hope someday i can show it to Pawn Stars and have it appraised for free...lol

    You can probably find out its value on the internet.

    Among other things, a bayonet that MIGHT be from ye olde battle for independence, A military issue metal foot locker from WWII, a stand I'm assuming one of my family members from back in the WWII era "borrowed" from a German resident that has a swastika carved into it.

    Lots of war stuff. No idea how much any of the stuff is worth though and I'm not really too keen on getting rid of any of it anyways.

    I have other war stuff but nothing really worth much.
    I have a clip of german 98K ammo, a bren gun(if I ever get it back from the gun club) and a russian artillery officers hat. All WW2.
    I have a first world war artillery shell that I found in a field in france near the somme.

    German Luger P.08

    Yes, it was a war spoil, given to me by my grandfather.
    It was never fired.
    "Die souveräne Nation"
    Is etched in the grip.

    Man oh man. It's a war memento, so I think I'll keep it.
