Comics How much did you spend on Comics in 2006?

[Donald Thomas]

Aloha,
Getting ready to do my taxes and wondered about the rest of us. How much did you spend on comics,hard covers and trades in 2006?

 

[shinlyle]

My pull list tips the scapes at anywhere between 50-75 dollars every month, and that's not counting trades and hardcovers and conventions, so I would be in the 500-750 range.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

in all around 80 bucks

 

[Captivated]

My spending on publications is probably close to $300, but the total would be more if you included other "stuff."

I'm glad I only collect Spider-Man...

 

[pussywillow1972]

If you include back issues from the 60s, then a couple of grand. Monthly on new issues it's around $30. It will be much less once this civil war thing is over.

I put in 1-300, but reading a post remembered an auction for 507 comics I got for $190 (I only had to pay 130 though)! So, $300-500

 

[farmernudie]

$500-700...?...i dunno..maybe more...

Mostly on TPB's...which add up fast...

Althoguth the comics today do too...which i get some here and there....although my complete long runs of every spidey title i've always enjoyed since the beginning took a big hit years back...

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Between $300 and $500 on new stuff (99% Marvel. The only DC book i've been getting this year is Justice, which has been a treat).

If we are including back issues, then i spent between $700 and $1000.

 

[Secret_Riddle]

500-700 most was on tpb's.

 

[matt50]

500-700...spidey titles and 3 x men titles

 

[Doc_OCK_4MUGEN]

Zilch, nothing, nada... I haven't spent anything since Sins Past... and it'll probably stay that way until Spidey gets better, which might take some time... (Hopefully things will get better Post JMS and a bunch of retcon bombs)

 

[Donald Thomas]

Aloha,
Yes I am including Back Issues. Just not statues,t-shirts,etc. For those who have a subscription, you can figure this out pretty quickly.

About 500 to 750. It was a crazy year and I was adding a lot of titles on each and every month. It's carrying over into 07 so it looks like I'm going to be doing some title cutting soon.

 

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

Less than I've EVER spent since 1970s. I don't see the number going back up either.

 

[Scottish Flash]

Far more than a probably should have

 

[Kraven]

Yeah, I put $300-$500, probably one of my bigger years for spending on comic book stuff. I've added a lot to my list since the year began, mostly looking for more quality titles, and some that don't particularly involve Spidey.

 

[Fenryr]

Let's see, ... I get around 50 books each month, at roughly 3 dollars a book, with a 20% discount, plus $.067 a dollar for taxes, times 12 months in a year, ...

So, about $1500 to $1600 a year, ... Damn, no wonder I'm poor. At least I'll have stuff to read when I'm living in a shanty made of longboxes.

Justice is the only DC title I get too. It's really, really good. I just wish it weren't bi-monthly...

 

[CConn]

I really don't keep track of it, so it's sorta hard to estimate, but this year I've bought anywhere from 30-40 titles a month, and with the back issues and trades...it's at least $750, I'm sure. Probably over a thousand.

 

[Morg]

500-750 probably or maybe a bit more

Aloha,
30-40 titles a month,is well over a thousand dollars in a year.

It would be, but I get my for cheaper than most people. If I bought 40 titles every month the whole year, it would have cost me $960 bucks.

Not counting shipping.

 

[Norman Osborn]

just under a 1,000 dollars...but that's in Canadian dollars so maybe 10 bucks American

...oh and Donald, why did doing your taxes prompt this question??.....you know it's not a write off right? .....

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Justice is the only DC title I get too. It's really, really good. I just wish it weren't bi-monthly...

Same here. I was a big fan of the Justice League as a kid, and this book is very reminiscent of that era. :gl:

I keep meaning to get back into Batman and Detective as well, just as soon as my finances recover from the holidays, lol.
