The first is correct- the second has no main verb. 'Compared' is correct.

The subject is underlined. 2. is incorrect with 'expenses'. Try, ...expenses for... ; 3. is incorrect with 'toys'. Try, ...toys and all that stuff...

1. The expense of all that stuff is leaving you with little real value.
2. The expenses of all that stuff are leaving you with little real value.

3. The toys of all that stuff are leaving you with little real value.

3. is incorrect with 'toys'. Try, ...toys and all that stuff...

Why can't I use 'toys' without adding 'and'? If the sentence is like this: 'The toys are leaving you with little real value.' it works here?
3. The toys of all that stuff are leaving you with little real value.

3a. is correct; 3b. is incorrect. The problem is this: the preposition 'of' expresses belongs to, so if 'toys' belongs to 'stuff', then it's a part of the stuff, so use the preposition 'in'.

3a. The toys are leaving you with little real value.
3b. The toys of all that stuff are leaving you with little real value.
