About how much money do you spend on anime/manga goods?

[Charizard★]

I'm just wondering how much money anime/manga fans spend every year on anime/manga goods. For me, I just really started buying manga so I can't really say, but some people I know spend up to $200-$400 on a/m goods. What about you?

I don't feel the need to buy when I could just download

I don't have necessarily an "average amount" that I spend on anime yet, but so far, I've spent about $170 ($385 including imported doujin aka Touhou goods) on all the anime related things I own. I want to spend more. I want more things.

I rarely buy any anime/manga unless I really need it, so I don't spend a lot of money on those.

 

[Esper]

I really couldn't say how much. I have a lot of manga, and quite a few anime DVDs from back when I was buying those. At the moment it's probably just $20 for the couple of things I bought last month, but I've easily spent at least $500 over time on manga alone.

Ask me how much I've spent on Japanese music and that answer will scare you.

To this day, I have spent a total of... $0.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

I spend $12.50 NZD a month on Shonen Jump (damn import costs), and I buy DVDs when I can. I usually only do that with gift vouchers, though, because I have more important things to spend actual money on (like childrens' trading cards orz). So I've spent very little on actual anime/manga stuff. I did burn about $80 at last year's Armageddon expo though, which was awesome. I got a few posters and other stuff. Beyblades ftw! Nostalgiaaaaaaaaa.

I've spent maybe about $100 to $150 area and no more in my life time.

 

[EmeraldSerenade]

I've spent a fair amount of money on a/m goods.. probably around 100$? I'm trying to save for Anime Expo in July though.. That's when I plan on splurging, haha.

 

[~Ryukaa]

I've spent roughly $295AU on anime and manga. xD;
Maybe about $45 on plushies.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Usually between $100 and $200 a year. I tend to splurge at anime cons and when sites like Right Stuf are running promotions.

 

[digi-kun]

~100-200 per con, so about $300, +200 if you count Gen Con (which really doesn't)
After that, about 30 per month on Dengeki G's, tack on another 70 if it's the month's G's Festival is relevant to my interests (only one per year usually)
About $50-100 on DVDs, as I buy the series i find exceptionally good, and get brought over (and hopefully have good dubs, sometimes i check on that before buying)
another $100 for anime-based video games occasionally
Then a good $100 or so if Weiss Schwarz counts.

I'm not a big fan of a/m and my a/m interests are limited to few anime/mangas.

 

[Hiche..]

I don't remember the last time I bought an anime or a manga. Nowadays, I just download them. I don't watch a whole lot of anime at the same time and my manga reading is VERY limited.

I watch anime on the internet, and I read manga on the internet too.
The internet ROCKS!

[Audihertz]

Too much than I'd like to say...
probably though, about 150$ every con. And outside of cons, maybe.. I buy 10$ worth of manga a month.

I don't spend much on anything else though; anime / manga / video games are just.. THE hobby I spend money on. .__.,

 

[~Ryukaa]

Recently, I bought 10 Shaman King volumes for about 90 bucks, which is pretty good. xD;
I bought half of it at a clearance, though.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Well it really depends if I get to cons...
But I do buy manga and plushies :D
Recently I've bought plush toy of Hatsune Miku :D

 

[twocows]

I buy CCS merch and nothing else. Probably spent about $500 total.
