Poll: An offer: $2.5 million for literally everything you own

[Saladfork]

So you're sitting around one day, eating a taco, when someone comes up to you and offers to pay you $2.5 million in exchange for every single piece of property that you own. He'll give you a couple hours before repossessing the clothes you're wearing at this moment, but everything else will be transferred immediately.

Your house, your car, your clothes, your online accounts, any heirlooms or souvenirs you may own, jewelry, games/movies, appliances, everything.

Do you take the offer?

(Oh, by the way, I'm not counting pets)

 

[Erttheking]

Pretty sure the net value of my stuff would balance out, and that's not factoring in the personal value, so I will continue eating my taco...and then throw it away because I just remembered that I hate tacos.

 

[Aris Khandr]

No. Not that I own much. All told, I imagine I have less than $10,000 in possessions. But the things I do have have massive sentimental value to me. I'd probably legit kill myself from depression over losing my stuffed animals alone.

 

[Smolderin]

Yes. Yes I would. As to those of sentimental value, once I get the 2.5 million dollars, I would simply buy them back, or hire someone to get it back for me. Flawless.

 

[Scarim Coral]

No but only because I don't want to end up being naked from doing it! Sorry but a couple of hours isn't long enough for me to restablished myself (well ok it probably be enough for me to get new clothing and find a motel but I rather not end up like that).

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Is this a real offer? Because I'm prepared to shake on it right now.

 

[IndomitableSam]

Probably. I mean, I've got some heirlooms, but my ancestors would probably smack me upside the head and say "take the money, asshole", so, yeah. If in that couple hours I could borrow some clothes so I wasn't naked, then yes. ... I'd probably strip in a Taco Bell for 2.5 million anyway.

... Oh, wait... would they take my intellectual property, too? If that's the case, then probably not.

 

[Imper1um]

US $2.5 Million Dollars...
Well, if you want to pay 2.5 Million for everything, if you get me the money immediately, I have no qualms against giving you everything I own. My very important data is all backed up in Cloud Space.

If I really counted everything up, it would be worth ~$125k US, so I would be making 2.375 million off of a minor inconvenience to me. Needless to say, it would be a ***** dealing with losing all 4 GM Stars from my PFS Paizo Account, but I'm not severely attached to it.

 

[PsychicTaco115]

Probably, if I had some time to think about it

Now, let's get back to the real question...

Why tacos? I'm their number one fan...

 

[4RM3D]

Everything? But that would include the nude photo's of... uhm, nevermind.

 

[DevilWithaHalo]

I was about to say hell no when I saw...

(Oh, by the way, I'm not counting pets)

...2.5 mill? I'm willing to read the contract with pen in hand.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Hell to the yeah. I'd just buy the important stuff back. Anything to get rid of this shitty phone provider. Then I'd buy a sweet house.



Does he get all my bills too?

 

[Tiger Sora]

Right now, I don't think I could. I have a one of a kind item coming in the mail and I couldn't give that up right now. If I could sell it to a friend to buy back sure as hell I'd do it.
I'd also need a half hour to catalogue my vinyl records and destroy my harddrive.

 

[WolfThomas]

No first I'd think it was a scam.

Then I'd realise I wouldn't know what to do with the money, I don't have a bank account anymore to store it in and it's going to be very hard to set up a new one without proof of ID and all that jazz.

Then there's a good chance I'd lose my job because I've given everything away (does this include professional registrations?) There's all sorts of complications with tax. I'm bound to lose around half the money or get into trouble if I don't declare it.

It's way too much effort.

My very important data is all backed up in Cloud Space.

I think it's implied the buyer owns that too.

what the hell do you own that is so expensive? jesus, you crazaayyyy.

OT: Would give it all up in a heartbeat, I could buy back identical copies of nearly everything I have, just renewed, for probably 4 grand (outside of my car, now that....wooh I'd by myself a treat.)

Then 2 of that million goes right into investments, and the other chunk of money goes to paying off loans and family bills.

and look at that, money STILL left over for more shits and giggles.

 

[MoreThanANoob]

No. It's MY taco.

(Oh, by the way, I'm not counting pets)

Well since your not excluding my body then NO. My body's kidneys, livers, heart, and especially my brain are worth more than what $2.5 million would ever give me. I simply can't live without them ya know?
