Just curious. how much money are you bringing or planning on spending? Not including convention passes, food, parking ect. This is the money you put aside to spend on anime, manga, plushes, posters, clothing, basicly your "fun" money.

I am sure I will be spending much more than is needed....You?

$50. Mostly for food. Though I'm not one who spends too much money in the dealer room as if you shop around online you can usually find better prices. I do want to get stickers from artist alley.

Hen(Tai) · « **Reply #3 on:** September 03, 2009, 10:43:37 am »

i'd say around $100. although i mostly spend it on things that i cant normally buy online or at a store. things like original art, custom stickers, clothing, stuff like that

Daft Punk · « **Reply #4 on:** September 03, 2009, 10:45:15 am »

thats good, I usually stick to buying hard to find things such as certain art books and art...I dont do plushies and shirts too mainstream for me

I definitely bring more than I will spend, usually above 600 for everything from room to just spending cash. I definitely like having money to just spend at the con, and love raiding artist alley for artwork and badges and things. Plus I end up buying stuff for friends, or lending money so I don't really spend nearly that much, but I prefer to be prepared if anything happens, and to be generous with friends.

452 dollars. 181 is for my room, 102 is for food. Whatever I got left is for the con and dealers room.

I am bringing $300 (not including food, badge, and room), but I am gonna try to only spend $150. There are a few things that I want, that cannot be found in the Nan Desu Kan dealer's room :0

Every year I get something from the Dealer's room for friends who couldn't come, and I get myself a Pikachu plushie.

So Every year I've been bringing around $300.

I'm bringing over $200 dollars. I've been saving all year and I'm gonna blow i all in one weekend. XD However, all of that will be put towards buying plushies and shirts and stuff because I've got my Mom to buy all the food and stuff. *is so lucky to be 14*

Lunara · « **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2009, 08:12:25 am »

I like your logic! Yeah I'm bringing more this year than I normally would, because I plan on looking to pick up some anime and manga, which I normally don't buy at NDK(funny enough), so I'm bringing some extra to account for that.

I'll bring enough to buy myself a couple action figures, maybe a few other things that catch my eye. The majority of my cash goes towards the room and food/plenty of Gatorade.

Just a quick note being all responsible and stuff, please see the thread about how to stay safe at NDK, http://ndkdenver.org/forum/index.php/topic,3648.0.html, especially the sections about handling your large amounts of cash. Since so many people are posting about the amounts of money they will have on them.

Please return to your regularly scheduled forums.
