Same to all like Dinky except I'm not that interested in horror books / memorabilia (just not my cup of tea)... Oh, and for sites, besides ebay mostly random sites that I find googling for merchandise I want, Discovery for goofy sci-fi-like toys and movie companies' web sites for memorabilia / collectibles. Libraries are also a good place to find books :mrgreen:

Thanks dinky. I'm just studying the market, nothing else. Your answer won't help me a lot if you don't answer precisely to all the question. How much do you spend each year on the web for your goodies ?...

Thanks MyK, you're right, book stores are nice places where to find books, but I'm talking about you buying on the Web, so please, can you answer precisely ? I'm studying and ask people precise questions and expect precise answers here. For example, it's nice from you to let me know you're interested by the sites you're "googling", but which ones ? How much do you spend every year etc.

Please, all of you who are nice enough to help me, please, please, please, answer precisely if you really want to help me. It's a study, can you imagine the time it'll take me to read all your comments about what's not in the enquiry ?

:wink:

Anyway, thanks for helping me.

I don't even do my own taxes and you think I'd have an answer to that. :lol:

I don't know. maybe 100-300/month. I spend what I have. and no, I'm not telling you want I make. :P

I wasn't writing anything about book stores ;) Other than than I only forgot to mention how much I spend average on stuff in question and that would be somewhere between $50-250 monthly, depends on many things that no statistics have ever covered :lol: Oh, BTW, I hope you're not basing your studies on statistics cuz all you'll end up with is same old, same old... you could copy/paste that from web. Besides, as Mulder said when Scully asked him if he knew how many people die in car accidents when driving too tired: "Do you realize how many ppl fall asleep behind the wheel when they listen to statistics in the first place?" (or sthng like it) LOL
