How much do you spend on boardgames and other components? Are you a compulsive buyer or do you rely more on discounts and used games? Do you buy boardgames or just go to game nights?

>How much do you spend on boardgames and other components?
I'm just staring out in the hobby so I've been trying to budget myself to about $60 every paycheck on games (most of that has been going to x-wing recently).
>Are you a compulsive buyer or do you rely more on discounts and used games?
Sometimes I'll buy on a whim but usually I try to vet each game I'm interested in thoroughly. Discounts are always great and normally I'd prefer to not buy used games just from my autism of wanting the game to be not damaged at all, but I'm slowly curbing that mentality.
>Do you buy boardgames or just go to game nights?
I mainly buy them because the nearest game store to me is an hour away and there aren't any gaming groups that I've found either living in the Southern US is torture

Starting with the hobby, ive bought zombicide and eldritch horror and splitbuy imperial 2030 with some friends. Im spending around $80 per game.
>Are you a compulsive buyer or do you rely more on discounts and used games?
If i really want the game i just buy it, if its on sale even better! But if i dont want it that much i just wait for a sale. Im don't think i'll ever buy an used game, im really austistic about the preservation of the games.
>Do you buy boardgames or just go to game nights?
I buy them and i have some friends that also buy them , we have monthly encounters that we play board games.

Do you really want that shitstorm to bleed over to this thread?

I just ignore them these days; seems like every 3rd thread we get a rash of shitposting. It's not like when we had the constant fights between shitposters and tripfags that went on for 1/2 of every thread; or back when you'd have to make a new general daily because posting died out at 11pm and no one had anything interesting to talk about.
Back on topic, I must be the cheapest guy in /bgg/; I spend like $300-400 a year on gaming and 60% of that is convention tickets/gas/room & board. Got like 7-10 new games last year and maybe spent $60 on em.

They're trolls. Do you really think they don't know how /Veeky Forums/ boards work?
>How much do you spend on board games and other components?
Looking at my CSI order history - the answer is 'too much'. ;) I do like painting miniatures but don't buy games just because they have minis. (I have way to damn many unpainted minis as it is...) I occasionally buy upgrade components, coins, etc - but not on every single game I own that has those options. I also tend to laminate or sleeve game components where reasonable, and I do like making 'gaming aids' to help new players learn rules more easily.
> Are you a compulsive buyer or do you rely more on discounts and used games?
I definitely look for discount options - particularly after FFG / ANA's "Games are a luxury, all you fan-bois should suck our dick financially in order to play them, and be happy to do so!" bullshit.

I've got a decent sized collection, pic related, and would like to add so more.

That's just called being patient and thrifty - not cheap. Now if all 10 of those games were copies of Munchkin or Exploding Kittens, I might have to call you out on it. ;)

Nope, most were b-day/xmas presents. I only bought a couple games at Gencon, and then ordered 2 off amazon.fr while family was overseas because Iello does much better work than EGG and fuck our stupid licensing laws.

I only buy from extreme discount to extreme discount and only for prices that put the games below or at resale value. Also I request them for birthdays, X-Mas and such.
It's actually surprising how many games you can end up with this way. You have to watch for sales like a hawk, but it's doable.
