mine are mostly ayu's stuff.. i gotta go back to sg n see my collection :P forget bout them :P

You haven't paid for those? Did you get them with a credit card? That's a lot of singles!! :dead2

She knows somebody (Ayuinside) who gives her some Ayu items.

There's some things money can by. For everthing else, there's AHS :laugh

I'll just post a subtotal by artist:

holy shitzo..O_o...well..i spent 400 dollars without a job...just wait till i get one..MUAHAHA..

You could buy a car with 1,455.60 in the ads :)

Lets see..... I have
Free & Easy Magazine
Stadium Tour 2002
Arena Tour 2002
Countdown Live 2001

evolution, SURREAL, Moments, Dearest, Endless sorrow, A, Free & Easy, Memorial address, Cybertrance 2 and 3, Super Eurobeat3, RAINBOW. And the calendar :)

That's about.... 250-300? Not too sure.

^ true. Although I know someone whose collection is way more than mine and probably goes up to $5000... I'm toning down on ordering tho cause I'm saving for a few things like a digicam, and a car.

hehe when I didn't have a job yet I'd spend like less than $40 a month when I order something at YesAsia. Now, I'm keeping it to a less than $45. I always go for the free shipping. ^^;;

cant wait for avex korea!!:-P.

My current card has 9 stamps.

I've also bought a few CDs at another store that doesn't have a frequent buyer program. Then, there's calendars and books. My collection is probably worth about $1600.

ooh.therees a really good lot n ebay..O_o..20 singles..

hmm , sometimes carriage more expensice than those stuff :yes :eyebrow

Err...alot? I'd rather not count x_x

Every month I have stuff to send to you , haha~~~

About $900US...I just calculated through my CD Collection. And that's just J-pop of course...which excludes my C-pop.

It's hard to say, I don't look at prices, as I pay by Credit Card, but I guess, that I paid about 400-500$ for my Ayu stuff (and few others)

I can remember the roundabout cost of everyone of my CDs...:rolleyes

That's not what Priceless means..................................it doesn't mean you don't have to spend any money...^^"

Sorry, bad at catching onto jokes. :dead2

I'm lazy...but I decided to add up all I spent on Asian CDs, posters, etc...I was also kind of curious to see how much I spent so far. x_x
I'm NOT gunna type out everything I own and their prices...It would take too damn long...^^;;
But I own around 60 CDs...and a few calendars, and around 20 posters...
But I've spent more than $830 (more than $600 on Ayu probably).

Total=$638.56
Paid=$336.29 (53%)
Gifts=$302.27(47%)

I only plan on adding $36 for the rest of this year...

I'll only list my import stuff. And the appriximate price, cause I'm too lazy to go dig out the receipts.

A Song for XX - $32
LOVEppears - $37
Duty - $32
I am... - $32
RAINBOW - $32
Memorial address(CD+DVD) - $32
MY STORY(CD+DVD) - $39
Crescent - $29
Kimi ni Aitakute single - $12
A MUSEUM(Overseas) - $24
Total - right around $300

;.; Small and pathetic. But I don't have a job, so it's the best I've been able to do.

I don't want to think about.... Just thinking of shopping makes me want to go again.... Let's put it in these terms....

First Anime/Jpop shopping experience: Parents took me to my first all Asian store in Florida but we couldn't stay long... I had roughly 25 minutes..... I spent almost $1000 and came out with boxes rather than bags.

First Convention: Over $800.
Second Convention: Over $900

Trip to New York..... hahahahaha >< $1000 of my money..... But I came back with a lot more that was purchased by my bf at the time

Of course... These are trips I went on. this does not include ordering offline (probably $100) and My friend bringign me stuff from Japan (About another $100)

>< argh

this is what im guessing about close to 800 dollars u.s

As of now, mine would be....

An additional $1,420.26
So, that would equal to $2,875.86. :thud

I'll start counting around 2 today and post the right amount

I'd say all of my CDs cost €10 on average, but it's probably €12.50 or something, that's more accurate. Which would result in a total CD value of...

185*12.50 = €2312.50 = US$3086.03

I'll try and do a more accurate calculation this afternoon.

if i were to count all my cds i ever bought then it would definitely run into at least US$ 2000!!

Woohoo! €2413 actually! Equals US$3230.15. Yeah, that's way too much, haha. My DVDs account for a grand total of €1075, which is US$1434.59. That could've bought me a car altogether.

Haha, if we're doing that it'll be even more, I threw out a lot of my 'house' CDs a couple of years ago.

Maybe about €500, most of it is Ayu stuff.

I think about 600-700 bucks? A good chunk is DAI.

I think ive spent def 1000+ on cds,dvds, poster,calendars on jpop... and im starting to collect cpop :/ lots of money being spent.... I think i have over 100 cds, i got alot of the cheap cds.. in taiwan... no not the fake ones lol, the oversea version
