Pretty much curious how much everybody else has spent on something in one go thats considered 'nerdy' not talking about a gaming rig pc or games console though, those are fairly standard.
I play a trading card game called yugioh, and have spent some silly money on that but made a lot too so its counter balanced. However I just brought a Lightsaber replica for arond £340 which i'm recouping a chunk of the costs from the cards I have spare and are valuable aside from looking cool as hell, and being a childhood dream and using it at a comic con it has no use but to look cool.
Whats your biggest nerd buy?
Never really made any purchases like that but I did buy an Apple Watch for £330 recently. I think people call that "hipster" rather than nerdy though. Idk :3
I've spent a lot of money on LARP gear. My costume comes to about $400 US and that's considered quite cheap, but I'm new to it. I'm working my way up.

I'd love to go to one in London. Hopefully I'm getting a RL friend addicted to the game so I have somebody to travel with, his currently like level 16 so its a work in progress.
probably the total amount of money i spent on RuneScape ~500€
I have three bass guitars, I don't know if thats 'nerdy'?
Guitars are really nerdy, people only play them in basements.
Nah guitars are sweet, I tried to learn when I was 15, don't have the fingers for it. Shame as I love the sounds that come from them.
Guitars are absolutely NOT nerdy!
Screw guitars... :p
Its all about the bass ##

I collect and paint Warhammer miniatures, of which I've spent about £400 on in the last six months.
So that's a thing.
Spent about £500 on CS:GO cases+keys. Got skins worth roughly £100 after all that lol. It's more of a gambling addiction than nerdy.
