The pole is for the about total amount of money you spend a month on ebay. How much do you spend on other things?

Poll.
Also, I don't use eBay as much as before. Not since I stopped compulsively collecting.

I don't have money for ebay right now. If anyone has the Yardbirds Live with Jimmy page album, I will go for it, though.

ebay is a sellers market, it is better to sell a ton on ebay and buy somewhere, well anywhere else.

Too much :)
Non-business related, I still spend quite a bit on ebay, I buy almost all of my modern games there, just so much cheaperr than buying anywhere else.

Not really true, except for rare items.

I have to strongly disagree. If you were talking about 4 or 5 years ago that would be a completely different story.

$100.01 - $200.00 average
moreso in the lower 100's...
though there were a few months when i spent $500+, but that was from buying high ticket items.

Well normally only $45 - $100, but ever since my latest import binge started, it has escalated exponentially up to $100 - $200 now, and that's just all my binging in ebay! I've spent more like $200 - $300 a month total on imports for the last couple of months, and holiday insanity is just now starting for everyone else! So I guess I got an early start this year. There's just been so many things that I've been looking for forever finally showing up lately, and a ton of impulse buys that I just couldn't pass up, because they were all so reasonably priced, so I've just thrown my budget out the window and been collecting all the imports that I can get my greedy little gaming hands on! I figure that I might as well grab as much as I can right now, before holiday insanity sets in full force for everyone else, and drives next year's prices up accordingly. That way I can brag about all the great deals that I got this year! I paid a little too much for a few things, and way too much for another thing or two, but overall I've gotten some great bargains, so I think it all balances out in the long run. And my collection has grown tremendously! :D

I can find the stuff I want on eBay really cheap. I'd say you're living in the past, man! It's gotten much nicer.
For loose carts I'm doing rather-OK here in Battle Creek, but for anything import-wise I either spend a bunch with the top importers (not Big importers - I mean the best ones, like NFG) or I wait and wait and wait on eBay and when something comes along it's still gonna hit the roof.
Right now I'm looking at bidding on something that's around $72 and has a day and two hours left on it. Who knows what my total will be by the end of the month! LOL

The last few posters are exactly right - for common-slightly uncommon games, ebay is often the cheapest place to buy (assuming you're buying in lots - otherwise shipping kills you).

Recently, I've been spending tons of cash on eBay, all on Anime and Video games, and I know I've spent atleast 250-300 in the last three months, so for now, I'll say $45.01 - $100.00. Usually, when I don't have a lot of money, I'll spend around $15.01 - $45.00.

I chose 45.01 to 100.00 but this could be more,it depends on what's selling.

Well, I poste $200 to $300 but that was probably a mistake...that's probably what I spend on everything, not just games. And it varies, some months are relatively low. It's probably been over a month since I bought any games from Ebay, for instance. But I have bought other things: books, comics, DVDs...

I haven't bought anything on ebay lately cause money has been tight, but usually I spend $15-45 a month.

I used Ebay once and spent 15ish bucks.
In the past 3 months I've spent $92, including all shipping charges. So that's about $30/month which is typical for me. Usually I'll buy one semi-expensive item every few months and nothing in between but it averages out to about that.
