How much would you spend to relive a once in a lifetime moment from the past?  What pop culture, historical or personal event would top your list?  Would it be the day that you were born or the day your child was born?  Maybe it was the day of your first kiss?  Or would you go back and relive something historical like the signing of the declaration of independence or the first moon landing?

Bid-On-Equipment recently asked 2,000 Americans to put a price on priceless and timeless events that they would love to relive.

From historical events like Woodstock in 1969 and the first moon landing to someone’s wedding day, they asked people how much they would pay to relive major moments in history and in people’s personal lives. They looked at 40 historical events from music, sports, pop culture, world history and personal moments. Let’s take a look at what people were willing to pay!

The top 5 most desirable experience for the surveyed respondents are as follows:

1. When your first child was born $100,622
2. The U.S. moon landing in 1969 $39,334
3. Signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 $36,836
4. The day you were born $36,161
5. Your wedding day $30,256

The survey also found that women would pay way more than men ($31,456) to relieve the moment that their first child was born.  Men on the other hand were willing to pay 2.7x more to relive their first kiss compared to women.  Millennials were more likely to spend on pop culture and sporting experiences.  Generation Xers would spend the most money on music and personal experiences.  Baby Boomers on the other hand would spend the most to relieve historic events.

The survey looked at experiences in the following categories (music, sports, pop culture, historic events and personal events and milestones).
