Your most expensive Nerd Purchase.
« on: January 11, 2016, 08:11:34 pm »
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.

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.

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.

I play a game called Magic the Gathering, it's a card game some of you may know it. I usually play this sunday afternoons and/or evenings with friends. I think is spend arround 200 euro's on those cards.

Besides that i became fan of Razer adn bought the chroma keyboard and mouse for another 200 euros.
