For me, it depends. If it is something that I feel like I can readily get at a lower or equivalent price in the future, I normally limit stuff to under 50.

However, if it is something I don't think I will ever find at cheaper, or, like a custom, something I may never see again, my only limit is my bank account. Luckily, that doesn't happen too aften.

It really depends on the figure in question like the sixshot reissue I just got I payed $62.99 for it, which really suprised me since most of these figures even the reissue version are go for well over a $100 so I got
really lucky.

I haven't spent an extravagant amount of money on a single figure, but I did trade a my kidneys for an MISB Fort Max.

Let's just say I'm connected

I have noticed that as well and it is ridiculous, people should spend their money as they like. If you have the flow to drop 2 grand on a bot, more power to you. Just last night I went on a shopping spree of sorts, G1 boxed + minty complete Devastator, Superion, Metroplex and Scorponok. Ran me about $1000.

I also recently payed nearly $2000 for all the dreamwave takara collection boxes misb.

To each his own, Transformers make me happy and I have money to buy them, so why shouldnt I? Dont sweat anyone telling you otherwise GetterDragun

I wasn't talking about victory Leo, but more about Maximus.

$1500 for a good one!

Most I spent on a single TF on eBay - 1 year ago $800 US on a MISB G1 Swoop Canadian Error Box that I got AFA'ed and then signed by the Voice Actor Michael Bell.

Most I sold a single TF on eBay - 4 years ago a Diaclone Blue Bluestreak for $3000 US. Mint everything on tree, unused sticker sheet. Miss you buddy but hey it was $3K!

I do remember that AFA90 G1 US Megatron that went for $12K US. That might have been a record for a single TF to date IMHO.

My highest to date was $65 for Encore Megatron, which I don't get to open until Christmas.

There aren't many figures I'd pay more than $100 for. They'd have to be Masterpiece level. I know G1 figures go for more than that but I'm just as happy with the reissues which are much cheaper.

My maximum for any one figure would probably be $200, with shipping. And it would have to be a Masterpiece or something extremely expensive to warrant that much. So far the most I've spent is about $130 plus tax on my MP-05.
