How much money do you spend on anime/manga?

I've probably never spent more than 50 dollars on manga.
I don't even want to add up the numbers for comics and books. That easily tops 2000. 😐

I believe I have over $500 worth of manga/anime items, not all of which I purchased. I received most as gifts.

I have spent around $1000 in four-five years. Of course at first, the manga I bought was at half price, and I usually use discount coupons. XD
I pretty much own much more manga/manga-magazines than on anime.

Aha...I have indeed spent so much money on dork dork items that the first thing I would shout if I saw a smoke cloud leave my bedroom would be: "Save the figurines and doujinshi first!"
I think I have about 4,500 euros (probably less...) worth of manga (because I live in Europe they think it's fair to change the dollar sign to the euro sign and add two more euros to that price...).
This is only the manga...don't get me started on the figurines and artbooks and doujinshi...
Ah~, the life of a fujoshi is expensive.

I have 100 at $10 each, so around $1000 so far. I've slowed down on my collecting though. Around 1/2 of that was before I discovered scanlations. (So there are series that I might not have bought had I not already owned them - not really many though.)
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

Considering I download all my manga/anime, and I've bought my first HD (600GB) almost $132.
Plans on buying my favorite manga's though, so it's projected that it might reach over $2000~

I've probably spent close to $5000. This is over the course of atleast seven years, and back when I had a somewhat steady job. Now it is significantly less. 😐

I only buy stuff hard to find... by example that second series of space pirate miko... it was almost non existent in the net till some months ago. I got it from amazon.jp

Less than 500 dollars probably. I have a few Anime box sets plus 2 shoes boxes of manga. So about 300 on manga and 150 on anime. Maybe more but it's around there.
And now my bag full of gundam action figures comes to mind. That's at least 200 bucks on its own. Plus the models I have(wherever those went... I can only find my original gundam.)
I guess I voted wrong on the poll. It's closer to 1000 than 500.
Still nothing on the money I've blown on my Books and Comics.

I'd have to say less than $1000 in 4-5 years. (The amount of money used is increasing since I have a job now.) ;_;

Quote from ShanShan
I haven't spent dime on manga or anime and the things I do get someone gave it to me for free.
People it is called youtube, mangafox, mangaone and ect.. You only have to pay the internet bill. How hard is that?
Its not because we don't read scanlations(since im 100% everyone here does) Its making a collection.

I've spent about $200 on art books and a few other items. I have yet to buy actual manga volumes.
