Recently, that 500 dollar silicone sculpture, 750, if you include shipping and import duties.

Lord. Well, the biggest in terms of cost and size was 2011 Jayco camper trailer for $11,000.
We also found an Escalade to pull the camper with via the internet. We drove to Nebraska to get it.

The biggest thing I have ever sold online was 5 acres for $35,000.

Online stuff makes me crazy. Lord you can find some crazy good deals. I’m currently sniffing around a Ninja Turtle bed set (comforter, sheet, pillow case, trash can, lamp, a cup) for $40 for my little Ninja Granddaughter. She loves loves Ninja.

If we count my husband as the same as me, our biggest purchase online was a car. We’ve bought more than one online. Probably the most expensive was around $50k, I don’t remember exactly.

Shoot. I sure wouldn’t forget how much I paid for a 50K car! I’d know it down to the penny!

JL, I am up for adoption.

JLeslie's avatar

@Dutchess_III My husband might know to the penny. I wonder?

At least two cars were found online, and actually were being sold by dealers. I don’t know if that counts?

Other cars were online, like a person selling on eBay.

I don’t need to know, @JLeslie. I am just saying that that is a WHOLE LOT of money to spend on just a freaking car, though I know you don’t see it that way.

JLeslie's avatar

^^It’s a lot. I don’t disagree.

I know people who have bought houses basically online. They pick the house from photos. I don’t think I could do it. I don’t think I could buy a car online either, that’s my husband’s thing.
