    North Face gortex w/fleece-$300
    Levi redwire jeans-$42
    Reebok classic-$30
    Bannana republic boxer-$3
    Polo socks-$2
    iPod nano-$150
    CRKT m16 13-sf-$59
    Nike flexon-$150
    LG CU 200-$50
    Casio Watch-$60
    Zippo-$17
    Hat-$12
    wallet-$13

    Total:$888

    sounds like a jacket.
    sounds like a gun?
    sounds like sunglasses.
    sounds like a phone.

    Underwear and socks -- $5
    Suit -- $300
    Shoes -- $80
    Shirt -- $100
    Tie -- $100
    Glasses -- $200
    Ipod Nano -- $200
    Wallet -- $10
    Cash -- $180
    Cell phone -- $200
    Coat -- $200

    So about $1500 bucks I guess...

    I am completely naked but I am guessing that one of my kidneys would go for $25,000 on the black market.

    HA! Like you could get retail for all that stuff. You MIGHT be able to get 30 bucks for all those clothes if you sold them at a garage sale, $10 for the knife, maybe $20 for the ipod, the sunglasses are worthless because they're prescription, pawn shops won't pay crap for a watch unless it has gold or diamonds on it, so maybe $5 at a garage sale, and maybe $2 for the lighter. $75 for the whole lot, tops...

    ;)

    TMI - although if you are listening to Queen in the nude that *could* make it acceptable. :p

    Exactly. The thread title should have been "how much you paid for all the stuff you carry with you today."

    Why do you carry a knife? :(

    Anyway, let me give this thing a try:

    RED Turtleneck shirt: $.50 (used)
    Work-provided Polo shirt: $.00 (given)
    Arch Wireless Pager: $15
    Hunter's Bay shoes from Academy: $25
    Wal-Mart black rope belt: $10
    Hanes briefs: $2 (pack of 3 for $6)
    WHITE Socks: $.50 (pack of 6 pair for $3)
    Dockers Khaki pantalones: $24.99

    Total: $77.99

    I think that total beats all of you dudes.
