What’s the value of what a thief would get if he were to rob you down to the skin right this very second?

Counting all accessories, eyewear, headwear, clothing, underwear-- absolutely everything that isn’t attached to your body somehow.

Don’t count for depreciation, don’t count sale price (if you purchased it on sale). Count the wallet and cash, but credit cards, library cards, license are too hard to put a price on so don’t count them.

I’m at work right now, so I’s got my ‘good’ clothes on. After work, I’ll be lucky if the total value cracks $20.

But anyway:

Dress shirt- $45  
Tie- $40  
Khakis- $30  
Shoes- $140  
Socks- $3  
Underwear- $3.33  
T-shirt- ~$2  
Glasses w/lenses- ~$215  
Wallet w/$2 cash- $28

Total- $506.33

Now what I _paid_ was considerably less, as I got the glasses on sale, as well as the pants and tie.

Happy, stick 'em up!

**Magayuk** those are some really cheap shoes. I am officially impressed, as it is practically impossible to find shoes that are cheap, durable, not too shabby looking and comfortable. I thought I did good finding a pair for 20 Euro, but 10 US$ is quite the bargain. Damn, I am green with envy now!

Anyway, here I go:

Socks - don’t know, maybe 2 Euro?  
Underwear - likewise. Taking a guess, 5 Euro?  
Trousers - 39 Euro  
Shoes - 20 Euro  
Shirt - 25 Euro  
Watch - 10 Euro  
Belt - 5 Euro (again, taking a wild guess)  
Cash - 42,67 Euro  
Cell Phone - ~ 50 Euro

Total: 198,67 Euro

I’m going on “replacement” cost like they do in insurance - how much it would take to get outfitted the same as I am now.

Glasses - $150  
Polo Shirt - $20  
Undershirt - $3? Not sure.  
Boxers - $20 (why? Just 'cause I’ll wear em for five years…)  
Pants - $30  
Socks - $4  
Shoes - $40 (not wearing my good ones today)  
Watch - $15 (Walmart!)  
Cell Phone - $150  
Wallet - $30  
Cash - $200 (going on a trip)  
Bert’s Bees lip stuff - $3  
Cigs - $5  
Lighter - $1

$671? What the hell? Craziness.

Shirt - $7  
Shorts - don’t remember when I got them or how much I paid, but let’s say $10  
Sneakers - $30  
Socks - $1  
Underwear - $1  
Watch - $25 (slightly misleading since the watchband is broken)

Total = $74. Wow. However, this is _wildly_ misleading since I doubt anybody would actually be able to sell my clothes for more than $5 or so.
