Most expensive item on registry?

What is the most expensive item you put on your registry and how much did it cost?

We are decently established and have a tiny apartment so we can't fit much, but we don't want a honeyfund and wouldn't mind some physical gifts so we're going to do a registry on Amazon. We're thinking of putting a waterproof camera on our registry, which would be really fun to use on our honeymoon. However, the one we want is $350. Obviously we'll have things at other price points but is $350 too much?

    My Wustoff knife block = $400, so no I don't think $350 is too much.

    Our most expensive was $499, but it's always on sale (Nespresso) ... and it was purchased. I think a group went together on it, which is common for groups of friends, so I wouldn't worry about something being too expensive. People will choose what's in their price range and what they're comfortable with!

    Our most expensive was a pot and pan set. Like $300. It to date is the only gift we have gotten (they sent it early)

    So now we are thinking about putting a nespresso on there!

    Dont count on people going in together for one big item. we put pots that we needed. the really only thing we needed on registry. I told all my sisters that we needed them more then anything. they were 500.00 purchase with 20% off and it was affordable. especially since i have 9 sisters... who could all put in 30.00

    guess what.. i got junk ill never use and no pots. maybe i just have cheap family. lol

    I actually have a $1200 beverage cabinet on my registry. No one will get it, but we get a 20% coupon off one item, which we will use!

    Until today it was a Roomba at $399 but FH just asked me to put a PS4 on it so we can get the discount off it after the wedding.

    $350 Vitamix And $250 juicer neither of which I expected as gifts, but added to get the 10% completion on Amazon. I was surprised today when I opened my first wedding gift today and it was the juicer Smiley smile

    Wow it's really cool to hear what all the big items are and so awesome how many of you got those big items, you have some generous friends/family! I'm hoping that people know how much my FH and I love photography that they'll want to maybe go in on this one together.

    @Terry, I'm so sorry you didn't get the things you wanted. Maybe you can return some things to get the pots instead? Or maybe you'll get enough cash gifts you can buy one. Hope you can get your pots!

    Ha. I didn't even think of putting the PS4 on there. We had already talked about getting ourselves one for Christmas for both of our from each other, so I don't know if fh will want to wait until after our wedding.

    I notice a lot of requests for the KitchenAid mixers. Just wanted to let you know QVC has really good sales on them all the time in all sorts of colors, some exclusive to QVC. I bought my second one from them and between the really low price 6 month easy pay I couldn't pass it up.

    We haven't registered yet but I noticed that a friend of mine registered for a Nespresso machine that retails for $875. My mouth dropped when I saw that on her registry.

    I think our most expensive item will be a Kitchen Aid mixer. I've wanted one for years because I love baking.

    We registered for a 5200 series Vitamix for $460 on Amazon and a $300 kitchen aid at Target. I doubt anyone will get either for us, but we're going to buy them after the wedding at at least Target will give us a discount! Smiley smile
