Money

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

I'n this topic I want to ask how much money do you think you have spent on Yugioh cards and accesories......I think i have spent around $3,000 if not more on my collection.

[ElmoRangerFTW]

$400-500 Easy!

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

One day i was on my trip in Vegas and i went into a card store and spent $300 rigth there on yugioh cards......crazy, yes, awsome, yes :)

[SadHippo]

Umm idk, if you count tournies a lot. If you count individual cards/packs probably around $500.

[piggyman86]

thousands.... -_- being poor like i am i dunno how :P

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

aha.....I have spent that much over about 5 years though ;p so It's not that bad

[CVH]

A LLLOOOOTTTTT! But I've started only buying the cards I need now.

[UsmanSimjee]

about $1500

[MultiTasker]

Total? I have no clue.

However, my deck's total cost is about $30-$50. Almost the whole thing is common/rare.

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Yeah i use to just go otu and buy a whole lot of booster packs/boxes...but now i jut buy singles of ebays and only the one i need also just bought a new mat :) cant wait to get it.

[spazingpunk]

When i was younger just playing around 500+, now i but what i need but i hardly ever buy so next to nothing nowadays....counting tournies thats a different story

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

I have never been to a tourny though....:( it sucks none come where i live

[kool kaiba]

I've spent way too much on this game.

[D. D. Guardian]

Around $1,000-$2,000 i guess...

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Yeah i have also spent alot but it's fun and I enjoy it :)

[Captain Usopp]

IDK probobly more than $500- $900 My deck is $200

[Bluehairedkat]

I'n this topic I want to ask how much money do you think you have spent on Yugioh cards and accesories.

Too much, and a lot of the time it's not worth it.

[D4RK D35TR0Y3R]

i would say too much over the past 4 years prob $2000 +

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Yeah it's so addicting to stop buying cards...It might sound silly to ome of you but I find it hard ;p

[Yata-Locker]

I've spent about $200 on Yugioh and I've been playing ever since the game came out.

Not alot, I know. :cool:

When I buy cards, I just buy singles. It's alot cheaper that way.

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Wow *applauding in the background*...I wish, But the benefits of spending money our the deck possobilities

[spazingpunk]

I know wat you mean, opening packs for me is kinda fun, i love getting boxes and opening all the packs, so addiciting

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Yeah and it's fun when u order something of ebay or w/e and i wait for it everyday......

[Rezman55]

I got alot of my cards from winnings and doing good at my tournies,sometimes i will buy packs for a new set,thanks to Ston.

Cdip i brought one and after I pulled those Barrier Statues,i got 4 in one pack and Blast Asmodian. I was Like WTF and stop buying packs for a good while.

[bluesnooknhook]

pack,boxes, collection, and tourney soo i added all my collection and i got up to $4500 soo all total i got hmm approximately $7000-9000 since yugioh came out but the truth is that the card value will dropped or gained eventually

[BLSoldier109]

Yea i have prolly spent about 1500-2000 total... it makes me depressed as my collection totals about 300-500 now thanks to bannings and wasted boxes and reprints...

[Caucasian Food]

Thousands, easily. And I don't even bother with buying boosters anymore. I get all my stuff online simply because I don't have the patience for scaling and I hate trading with kids who ask for ungodly exchanges. It's more expensive but I can ensure quality and that I'm not getting jipped.

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Wow that alot of money and CONGRATS to you winning lots in tournies....

[DooM-Gamer]

Odd ive earned 425$ off yugioh its quite profitable build a good deck and bett with it :D

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

You earned how is that like with betting?....

[DooM-Gamer]

I bet cards and sell them for a profit pretty simple...

[bluesnooknhook]

same here lol

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Oh, I see thats preety awsome....

[DooM-Gamer]

Yeah that and I made a bundle off of E-Heros im 14 and the only guy i know who thinks there not that great ways to make money 101

Buy/Sell shonun jumps :D
Trade E-Heros
Buy/Sell Cards
Make decks and sell them...

I origanily traded my PSP for my collection and added to it from there now its valued at several hundred but my decks are where my profit is i make and sell decks to people for a hefty profit...

[King of Dragon]

I got so many decks and extras so I don't trade many cards. I know I spent over $5000 since I started.

[piggyman86]

this thread made me realize i need a life :P

[The Obsession]

I don't even want to think about how much I spent on YGO. It would be too scary.

~The Duelist in Black

[C.T.]

hmmm....*rubs chin*...I'd say...damn...$1500..omg...wow.

but even if I spent that much, the experiences I had and the happy memories I think of...I look at it and realize that its not a waste, Ive met friends and good people thru YGO, so...I think that is a price I could pay anyday, some people may think of it as a waste of money and a sign of needing a life, but I call it a "fine investment in the larger world," good times/good friends/good experience.

[John_Hublet]

if this game costs you over 500$ learn how to trade and win store credit =/

[keloggsequent]

Several hundred

[Redblood]

Both: 1500$
Sell: 2000$
Collection: 3000$

I think it's worth it :)

[solid_snake]

Hmmm some where in the hundreds.....but i don;t want to know...it's scary. :(

But fun. :)

[270233]

I've spent around 1,800 and made back about 800 so far.

[IceK9]

from the beginning of the game till my first retirement: 1000 ish
from my comeback till now 300 ish
sooo, yea that's about all that i've spent since the beginning

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

I got so many decks and extras so I don't trade many cards. I know I spent over $5000 since I started.

OVER 5,000$, your loaded man...:)

Additional Comment:

****loaded****

[Anavel]

I pitty the fools who spend thousands. </Mr. T's voice> The funny thing is I've only spent about $500 since YGO came out. Last year I spent about $100, this year probably less.

[Orconem]

At least Two Grand, although I'm sure i've spent more than that.

[Jaggededge11]

In the end, I have probably gained (Net Profit) $500-600 playing Yu-Gi-Oh. I have only spent about $200 on packs (Minusing Regionals).

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Wow that's awsome making a profit of yugioh

[Gaurdian-Garasu]

prolly well over 10K maybe more, this was mostly back when I had money lol.

[Green Koolaid]

$1000 maby $2000. Like piggyman86 said, I have no idea how becuase ive never had enough money at one time to buy more than 5 packs. I started out fairly early in the game, so................man thats too much money.

[Zeus Daddy]

Ive spend plenty on yugioh...but put it into my deck instead of a collection...I win alot of the cards I own.

[Dr Tran]

I just spent 300$ on an order from California (Mind you, I live In Canada, so I get screwed for Shipping and Customs Costs)

-3x DDA
-2x Lily
-1x Dimension Fusion
-2x X-Force
-5x Decree (Parallel Rares)
-3x Banisher
-3x Widespread Ruin
-1x Morphing jar

And before that, off the top of my head:

-couple boxes of FET (Damn you elusive bird)
-Tourny costs
-Costs to go to Last Years Nats/SJC in Hamilton
-Buying random cards over the years
-3x SD10


I don't want to add it up.

[Zoro_Itachi]

Well over $1000.

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

prolly well over 10K maybe more, this was mostly back when I had money lol.OMFG I WORSHIP YOU :D

[Uusaki]

i spent $500 on ideal808 online a few days ago
i love waiting for my stuff to come in the mail =D

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Yeah i love waiting for stuff.....figuring what do do with it and how awsome i's gonna be

[Legacy47]

iv only spent 500 since iv started playing

this year iv spent a grand total of 20 on yugioh

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

ahah, what did u spend the 20 dollars on...

[RADMAN RB]

uh...... maybe 2000 or so.....

[nitecrawl004]

welll I would say around 9000 over 5 years in da game and considering I lost one collection that is ot that bad

[SouL_DeStRoYeR]

Ive been playing for 5 years. Two of my decks have been stolen. My current deck costs around $200-$300. There are only a few commons and everything else is either Ultimate, Secret, or Ultra. Since I go to alot of the sneak previews and spend around $200 each time I dont know the exact amount. Oh and I buy alot of tins lol. Ive been spending alot of money recently (like the last couple months).

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

Yeah I too buy alot of tims, there my favourite to get......not many good ones out though

[Blader86]

I've been playing for a year, so i havent spent that much, but my cards have been joined in my best friends, he considers them our cards, me, him and his sister, they have been collecting for 3 years, spent over 3000, and we nearly lost them all.

[dan_the_man]

Individual cards probably 400-500. For tournaments allot more.

[#9.Beatdown.#6]

welll I would say around 9000
:cool:...Thats what i have to say if you can figure it out :cool: to you.

[Matt_Lane]

honestly, bout 2500-4000............that's sad but true.....my deck is worth bout 1800...

[zephyr_]

Probably around 300. But in the last like 6 months I've spent like 15. =p

[Yug Yug]

I have never been to a tourny though....:( it sucks none come where i live

and, why do you play???

[solid_snake]

and, why do you play???

I've gone to only few tournies because where i live it's a hassle to. I live miles from the closest place that does them and the place doesn't even run them well or count up scores for points.

Still fun to play with friends and such...and I've got plans to when I learn to drive to hopefuly travel to them to get my invite to National. :D (cross fingers)

[Matt_Lane]

and, why do you play???
i think he meant regional/SJC, i'm sure he has a local that he goes to

[X-elemental]

I don't even want to think about how much I spent on YGO. It would be too scary.

~The Duelist in Black

agreed.Last time I calculated it was about 300$.
But that's not counting tourneys.

[jpkid956]

yugioh is like drugs
i bought a card trooper for $65
the next day i bought another one for $65
and the day after dat, i bought another one for the same price

i buy 5 booster packs every week ($5 each)
ive been playing for like 4 years so i spent at least $5200 on booster packs

i bought many single cards played in many torneys/sneak previews
so for my yugioh career i spent over $7500

[Puffy]

I sent more than I can ever get back. Maybe somewhere around $10,000.

[RedAdict]

A few hundred.

[The Evil One]

I have spent about $1500 in 3 years.
Now, I have 4 decks, 4 side-decks for them & 4 lots of about 20 cards which can be used in each deck & suits each theme. I have a few decent trades, but nothing too flash. I am not making anymore decks either at this stage (until something interests me) & there's not really much I need. I will always buy 1-2 boosters of each latest set, just to say "I have bought them", but apart from that, I don't buy cards anymore at all..online/offline or w/e. If I don't have all the cards I need to run my 4 decks already, I'd prefer to dismantle them & trade them off. Its a very good thing I have not needed to do this. A lot of my decks get a new look each week. My Burn Deck has gone from Burn, to Final Countdown, to Deckout & back to Burn again, just by changing half a doz cards in it. My Aggro decks can easily be changed into Control Decks & vice versa. Coming up with the right "combo" is hard & takes time, but that's what makes the game fun.
Basically though, if I don't already got it, chances are I don't need it.

[KingOfKings]

I didn't spend anything, because i made all of it back and made profit playing in tournaments. I started out by my dad buying me a kaiba starter deck in 2005 and i started playing and winning...

[benisben25]

I didn't spend anything, because i made all of it back and made profit playing in tournaments. I started out by my dad buying me a kaiba starter deck in 2005 and i started playing and winning...

And flipping for dollars.

[stephen756]

a good few thousand, in the high thousands, its an easy way to spend money when you are 16 and live at home and the girl is only a little demanding lol.

[dreamastermind]

When you add up all the money spent on packs, tournaments, and hotel accommodation's its a little over $500. Fortunately I've made back over $2,000 so it's fine.

[Mokey Mokey Man]

About, too much.

About $3000 I have gotton luck though and got troopers etc for non

[fat_cat]

I wish I knew, but I won't like it.

[Mage Master]

I honestly have no clue, I do know that it's way too much though.

[jpkid956]

im rich so its ok for me to spend alot of money on yugioh

[_-=R@pt0R=-_]

I had a second job that didnt require any time at all, at that time I was spending arond 80-100$ each day, lol.

[britishbill1201]

Mann I cant remember nor do i want to remember

[Kai GT]

lol i spent maybe 1500$ and got back at least 2000$ + my collection is worth a lot! (3x malicious, 3x ddraw, 2x mf, 1x ring SCR, 4x pegasus, 5x rare value, 3x each monarch =p oh yeah i pwn)

[||Deception||]

I am going to put this in £ and $.

Single Packs: 600 x £2.50/$5.00 = £1,500 - $3000
Tins: 30 x £16/$32? = £480/$960?
Single Cards: £300/$600
Structure decks: 20 x £10/$20 = £200/$400
Starter Decks: 5 x £10/$20 = £50/$100
Tournament: £500/$1000

Total: £3,030/$6,060

Lol.

[Yushish]

I've spent about 500 dollars on Yugioh, generally all singles, and maybe a total of 5 boosters. I just go online and buy all the cards i need for my deck.

[DonZaloog1227]

Im addicted to the smell of fresh cards. Maybe about 1000.

[Anthem91]

About 15oo.

[ygo tas rulz!]

MY 1000TH POST!!!!!!

Im not sure about the monetary numbers, but ive spent alot

[ZeuX]

i dont know then exact number buts it's around $300$

[natas666]

IF you want to know how much i spent on cards....

maybe.....300-400 in that last 5 years....

on traveling...and other crap (sleeves/deckboxes/foodatevents)

it totals to over 1000

[mokey_king]

i realy dont know how much i have spent but im about to drop $1000 on the new deck im about to make and it is only a fun deck.

[natas666]

i realy dont know how much i have spent but im about to drop $1000 on the new deck im about to make and it is only a fun deck.

thats dumb


you should just give me the money >.>;

[Exo]

I think I've spent about $600. This is almost all packs, as I wasn't allowed to buy singles, no matter how much I tried to convince the fact.

[CVH]

I think I've spent about $600. This is almost all packs, as I wasn't allowed to buy singles, no matter how much I tried to convince the fact.

That sounds ass backwards.

[StrikeCommander000]

Well, I've been buying at least two boxes of every set since PTDN (except for LODT and TDGS). Counting singles and special editions, etc. I'd say well over $1200.

[mokey_king]

thats dumb


you should just give me the money >.>;

how is it dumb to spend a little money for something i like to do. i just have a better budget than you. its called a part time job.

[Promise]

In total, about $250 at the least

[d229]

more than most make in a year. i spend about 100 week since it came out. for the last year ive just been getting cards i need. so id say alot. i sell alot to though

[GlaBIS_]

I only pay for tournaments, Sneaks and that's probably it. =/

[BLSoldier109]

Why was this thread from 2 years ago... bumped... I made about 1000 dollars off this game since last time I posted over 2 years ago.

[SupermanNKO]

ive been playing competively for about a year and half and with tournies and gas and cards for regionals and sjc ima say im close to 1200. I only buy singles now

[ffgamer72]

probably 3000+ but half of that being tournament entry. My collection is worth more that that now though, so it's all cool. And I've been playing for a while.

[Hysteria]

I've made a few thousand from Yu-Gi-Oh! so I'd say I've probably broke even haha :'[

[TacoKing]

I got a lot of my stuff from judging, but then I also went through a lot of times where I'd either sell my comp or get VS or WOW for judging. I also sold a lot of my cards a while back when I needed the money, so I'd say I came pretty close to breaking even overall on the game.

[The_Dark_Monarch]

Yeah, about 2K in the past 5 years.

[CCV_King]

Man I think I got everyone beat so far... I've been playing since 2003 and I've spent 2k+ every year since I've been playing. Between buying boxes, packs, collections, and singles. That's not to include the accessories. So I've spent 14k+ since I've been playing. I've been in Iraq for 4 months now and I have already spent 1K+ since I've been here.

Every time I quit I make it all back + more so in the end it is all worth it. I even play for money so that's fun and makes me money. I played Jason Holloway for money at SJC Durham and won, it was cool to beat him he's really c o c k y but he's a cool dude.

[DAR1US TURB0]

Besides tournaments I don't really spend money on the game, I mostly trade to get everything I need for the game. I'll only buy singles if I have to, and I don't remember the last time I have actually spent money on a pack.

[Twilight Archfiend]

about 400$

[ryno5]

from the time i started playing it has to be over $7000 on packs, booster boxes, individual cards and entrey fees to tournaments.

[memo333]

One day i was on my trip in Vegas and i went into a card store and spent $300 rigth there on yugioh cards......crazy, yes, awsome, yes :)


it would be fun to have a slot machines in las vegas that gives you yugi expensive cards instead of money lol.

like dads and ccvs.

[yusketheraver]

hmmmm i wanna say ive spent 2000 plus on this game lol over the past five or so years (since lob came out) probably more now that i actually have a job and making higher tier decks and what not. as for cards in general probably about 5 grand hahahahah holyy shiz thats like half my car XD

[Great_Khuzu49]

I started back during Kaiba and Yugi starters...back then I went through a lot of packs. Within the last year I stopped buying packs and stuck to singles and trades. My yugioh expenditures have for sure decreased but I've spent too much on this game.

[xc_hawk]

I would imagine around $200-$250 has gone into my shenanigans since I started competitively last summer, although I've probably sold my way back down to $150. My friend and I have a collection worth well over $600, so I think we've done pretty well up until now.

[pheano]

i dont spend money on paper
i get everything from trades and prizes
and then i end up selling them for profit

[Epic Failure]

around 2500 dollars

[BeeLegendary]

I spent over $20,000 since 2002 and I have not won a SJC to make up for it. It's a sad tragedy story much like the trap card Tragedy. I fill into Konami's trap almost like Casino's slot machine. :(


I'n this topic I want to ask how much money do you think you have spent on Yugioh cards and accesories......I think i have spent around $3,000 if not more on my collection.

[LostLegend]

Hrm.
Since SDY and LOB...

I'd estimate £1000 or less. No more.
I bought: Master Collections 1 and 2, Gold Series 1, (soon some of GS2), over 5 tins, Random cards, lots of my sleeves and binders, boxes, etc (like £50) and a bunch of other stuff.

*sigh*

I forgot the structures and video games.... My Xbox video chip melted too

i guess buying ccv for 200 and packs isn't spending money on paper

[Ameen]

Only time trading bigger and better, I personally invest no finance on this or any game. I believe time and dedication is worth more than gold.

[TehCruze]

Yeah i use to just go otu and buy a whole lot of booster packs/boxes...but now i jut buy singles of ebays and only the one i need also just bought a new mat :) cant wait to get it.

You bought the mat I was going to buy D:<

[0Lifepoints]

I know of 2 guys and money with Yugioh. 1st. One guy at a shinder's spent 600 bucks in a hour span.

Another guy I know between buying and selling, has spent roughly $10,000. Over the last 3 or so years. That's not including World of Warcraft TCG and a little bit of magic the gathering.

[Kevin_Olbrysh]

With my money, not much, probably around $200 since I started in PSV.

Including the stuff people have bought for me? Easily $1000, probably more.

[moon_knight]

hells yeh i rekon ive spent a good $6000 plus more over 5 years man i could have bought a car bi now aw well its worth it

[breakerDS]

Over the course of 8 years I'd say about $500-$700. Jeez when you really look at it you spend a lot of money in total and not even realize it:o

[locked38]

I used to keep buying packs and buying packs, but then I just bought singles and boxes every once in a while. I would say about, 600$

[Lord Satan]

I have kept up over the years with all the money I've spent on Yugioh down to the cent so that in 15 years when Yugioh is gone I'll know how much money I could have had to go towards my trip to some island somewhere.

The current amount is= $4342.78
