I did 
But I also own a 91" Corsica that only costed me $1300 after getting a new engine, so it isnt too hard to top.

My camera gear is worth more than some individually, but nowhere close if you add them up.

I don't currently own a car but of the cars I have owned one was worth more than my gear and one of them I rebuilt the engine with lots of brand new parts so really no, my cars have cost more. -- Martin

Three bedrooms, two baths and a full basement that we completed ourselves, adding another bedroom, bath, and rec room. His mortgage payment was $128/month. I paid him a bit more for it and it is worth considerably more today.
