The old thread was over the limit, so here's a new one.

Bah, the forum can take 10 posts over the limit.
 I think I'm going to start scaling down what I collect....I've expanded too much. I'm going to shoot for 10 bucks or less a week. __________________

That's a good target. I wish I could drop down to that.

Well I missed it the last week....20 bucks, which I guess is ok, since it's less than the 30-40 I was spending....but still, we'll try harder this time.

I forgot to put my order in last week, so I didn't order any comics for last month. I'll have to pick them up on the stands I guess.

Coming down to earth with the rest of us, eh?
I only spent 7 bucks this week, picked up Uncanny and Rebellion. Not so bad for me. __________________

Back to earth sounds good to me. Of course, after Christmas I'll be back to spending $50 bucks a month at the least.

I wish I was only spending 50 bucks a month. Damned Turner and his Variant covers. I'll get you yet!

I've been spending way too much on comics still. I buy at a faster rate than I read. Even though my place is packed with comcis, I can't stop.

 How about you? Sounds like you've got some great acquisitions. I'm actually thinking of splurging on some old back issues I've wanted for ages. __________________

I had to fix one of my cars, so I don't have the money to splurge right now. I'm going to after I sell that damn thing.

$7 at the comic book store! HA! Next week is going to kill me.
They've been ok, I've been saving up to get the Diamond version of Soulfire 1...the cover looks awesome. __________________

I've been reading the Wizard about upcoming mini-series and such. 2007 is going to be a bad year for my wallet.

I eliminated a huge chunk of my debt, so I have more disposable income. But I've been buying more comics so I don't really feel them.
I want to make a list of key issues and such I really want, so I can be more focused and productive with my comics budget. Right now my process is just picking up whatever catches my eye at the stores. And I do too much "settling" on eBay, if I lose an auction for something I want, I'll always bid on a "consolation prize" instead of waiting for a new auction for the item I actually want. That being said, I managed to not buy anything from eBay for a solid 6 months.  __________________
