How crazy are you?
 
What is the most amount of money you would spend on a TMNT collectible and what would it be? Or if you have that collectible already what was it?

I always question if I should limit myself so I wonder where everyone else stands.

The most I've spent on any one thing is $250 on a comic book. I think there are a couple other comics/books that I've spent either $100 or just over $100 on. And one piece of art that was $100...

I wouldn't go more than $50 on regular items, unless it was some sort of movie prop then I would probably pay more..

Buslady 07-16-2007 08:54 PM

unless it was Raph's coat, hat & sai from TMNT1- no much more than $50-60ish.

I borrowed money against my car title to buy the blank from Dick Tracy (I think I paid around 300.00 for her) so i'm pretty crazy :D Of course the only thing that I would do that again for would be the prototype for the Wednesday Addams figure from Playmates short lived Addams Family line. Since getting the Blank, Wednesday is now my holy grail. I doubt she even exists anymore though. :ohwell:

If it was a AFA 95 MOC figure, maybe $50 at most, an AFA 95 MIB vehicle $85 at most :D

i spent about 40-50 dollars for the entire set of Turtle Trolls off of ebay, i still think it was a steal! =3

I've spent $100 on a few things... probably the most I spent was about $112 for a piece of original art. I will probably end up spending more than that on issue 1 when/if I get it.

were those saved extra? Or you able to spend money on things you love? I am unable to do such... cause of evil kawl-edge and my heroic site... :(

Wow, that's hardcore. Was the first issue/first printing included in that bad boy?

Scandia 07-17-2007 12:37 PM

I've spent...money I can afford on buying comics. And now the chance has popped up to get all of volume 1 for a very reasonable price. I'm worried about duplicates mainly due to lack of space- but I can always hand them out at programs.

Though I can afford this and all of my hobbies, I probably should be saving the money to purchase a condo and to finance next year's trip to Scandinavia. I may refer to myself as stingy, but I am nothing compared to some of my relatives who are total misers.

I spent £200 on this piece of art here.

It was totally overpriced, but to me it was worth it, just because it was from the UK Teenage Mutant 'Hero' Turtles comic, an original painting and about twice the size as a normal original comic art page...

I've also spent a small fortune on other pieces of original art, but that's the daddy of them all. And the comics (got most of 'em now!), MOC figures and other random bits n bobs i've collected must also add up to quite a bit, but since they were mostly bought over a space of a few years, the blow hasn't been quite so bad as that one piece of art....

Toonami Tom 07-17-2007 06:48 PM

I would probably spend up to $50 on a single item, I don't think I would spend more.

Yeah..I always have a little extra $ on the side. But also, I don't spend money on collectibles very often, so when I do I can spend a little more. For instance, I've only bought about 2 tmnt items this year so far totalling $68, and I've sold about 50 items.

I know how college is. I'm out of college but in debt to my eyeballs with school loans..hence the limited collectible spending.
