Title: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: alandhopewell on April 02, 2012, 01:33:28 PM For me, it'd be a split between Hastings (videos and music) and the Warner Bros. Store.

Post by: Jack on April 02, 2012, 03:04:41 PM 55" Dynex 1080p HDTV from Best Buy and the 4 year extended service plan. Then I'd need the Alien Anthology on Blu ray, which would leave just enough for a 12 pack of beer :thumbup:

Or both if I can get them cheap. Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: The Gravekeeper on April 02, 2012, 06:46:02 PM That'd go toward paying off my student loans.
...what? I'd be $1000 closer to paying back that debt. Oh fine...fun stuff I'd spend it on: custom-made computer for art and gaming purposes, a weekend in the mountains, and whatever's left would be used to buy cheap DVDs and used copies of out-of-print video games. Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: FatFreddysCat on April 02, 2012, 06:47:35 PM I'd split it evenly between Sound Exchange (my nearest "cool" independent record/CD store) and the beer store.
Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: InformationGeek on April 02, 2012, 07:48:20 PM An anime and manga store opened in my town recently and if I had a $1000 bucks, I go over there and just buy them out of a lot of their stuff. Got to help support the small business owners (And get stuff I want) and all.
Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: Trevor on April 03, 2012, 01:36:10 AM That's ten thousand SA Rand so I would put it down as a deposit on a new car which I badly need. A nice pick-up (or "bakkie" as we call them here) will do nicely. :smile:
Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: claws on April 03, 2012, 02:36:43 AM I blow $1000 every month on Blu-rays so yeah, with the extra $1000 I could blow $2000 on Blu-rays :cheers:
Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: The Burgomaster on April 03, 2012, 08:47:41 AM I don't know . . . but on at least 2 occasions several years ago I went into comic book stores and came out with more than $1,000 worth of Silver and Bronze Age comics. One of these times, I believe the total was over $1,400. A year or so ago I bought a pair of Bowflex Select-Tech 90 lb. dumbbells, a weight rack, and an adjustable bench for over $800. I probably spend $1,000 a month on random stuff, but not all in a single purchase.
Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: Frank81 on April 03, 2012, 10:17:45 AM I'd put half in my IRA and the rest I'd take my papa out on the best dinner we had in a long time. :smile:
Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: tracy on April 03, 2012, 12:31:27 PM I'd buy two train tickets to Cleveland,round trip,and take my hubby back home for a nice visit.

Or both if I can get them cheap. That would be awesome. The only piece of furniture I don't have and really want it is a good cocktail cabinet arcade game. Planning to buy a custom MAME one with 4 sets of controls (for vertical and horizontal games, and to play 4 player games) someday. That might be what I get. Alternatively, I've been saving for a while as I plan to get a vasectomy and that's of course entirely out of pocket on my plan. TMI? :tongueout: Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT?

Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: Couchtr26 on April 24, 2012, 11:56:41 PM I don't know, if I had a thousand I would probably do a trip maybe fishing down in Texas or something. If not that, then probably some electronics of some sort.
Title: Re: IF YOU HAD $1000 TO BLOW, WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND IT? Post by: El Misfit on April 24, 2012, 11:58:43 PM I wouldn't blow it, since paper doesn't have penises (except those bastards who draws on them) nor am I gay. :twirl: Nah, I would spend it on food and videogames.
