I'll have around $300 again this year like last year.

i'll have at least $200 bux for this year, which is twice the amount of what i had last year. hopefully i will find some stuff i am really looking for, and also try to get out with a little bit of money....i still have to make sure i can get back home.

Well, the most I had was about $40 for 2 days. Spent half of it on FOOD. >.>

Then bought some manga my sisters kept begging for, a poster of Naruto, a poster of FMA, and a poster of Grim Tales from Down Below :D

I'll be definately saving up money for next year's con >.<!!!

i hope there is some better stuff in the dealers room next year. having said that, aside from the money im going to spend on a room, i'll try to have at least $500-1000 dollars for 2007.

Not enough. I bought more for others than for myself. There was still too much stuff I wanted to get, but I ran out of money. :(

Not this year.
Personally I spent $50+ in the arcades alone.

Yeah I stayed away from the arcades, not worth my money when I can go play a console game for FREE! ^^;

I DID bring enough, but I didn't see two things I really wanted: 1. Fanime T-Shirts (If Anyone has an XL Fanime 2006 T-Shirt for sale please let me know) and a polearm >.<

I'm really hoping that they have D.N. Angel stuff....I can never find those things. I've been to so many conventions and its always the same: either playing cards, or star tin can (unless it was something really small like pencils or buttons). I'm hoping to spend no more than $500. I really hope it won't be anymore than that.... (Note to self: LEAVE CC IN HOTEL ROOM. LOCK IN SAFE IF NEEDED).

I did not bring enough money last year. It was all gone in less than 3 hours, all $200 of it.  :cry:

IMO, there is never such a thing as enough money for a dealer's room.  There's always going to be something screaming for your hard-earned dough, even after you've bought a metric ton of merchandise already.

That being said, I didn't bring nearly enough on account of having moved recently and the expenses of that massacring my disposable income for some time.  Hopefully, I'll have a decent amount for next year though.

I spent almost 600 dollars in figures(mostly figures) and other things and I know there were tons of other things I wanted. I could have spent twice that much if I really didn't care to be broke for the next two weeks, so I stopped myself. Now, next year, I'll have a lot more than I did this year....hopefully.

Aside from the admission (pre-reg) I spend about $15 at the arcade, $15 on a wooden sword, $15 on a shirt, and about $20 for food/drinks.

There weren't many thing I really wanted but I want to get a cool hat next year... I just need to get one thats a little bigger than the regular hats to fit my big head.

Those hats are so cool :3

So, did you bring enough money to FanimeCon 2005?

If yes, what couldn't you find?

If no, what did you spend all your money on?

It seems like I can never bring enough money to Fanime, there's always more I want.  Last year I brought like $110 but almost half of it went into buying Ouendan 2 for the DS.  But I did manage to score some DVDs from the swap meet.

This year I'm bringing more, and I need to buy the first Ouendan before they run out again.

FanFicGuru

I'm bringing 1000 dollars again this year.

It seems to be a good amount to get everything I want.

Dude.  You can NEVER bring enough to Fanime. XD

...Unless you don't want a lot.  Then you're okay.  Unless you don't have enough for what you want, in which case you-- *hit in the face with a flaming brick* Ow. x_O;;

Um... yeah.  I usually bring enough. XD  I'm not too impulsive when I'm looking to buy things (unless it's Gundam Wing related), so I tend to have enough for the things I really want. ;D  $200 has been my usual limit, but I might bring a little more this year.  (Yay for numerous stipends!  Woo! :3)

the last couple of years there has never been anything that I've seen that i really wanted to buy; almost all of the dealers(save for a few) had the same merch, and i wasn't attracted by the selection.

hopefully this year, more dealers start to carry stuff that isn't just bleach/naruto/deathnote/dragonball...you get the idea.

I usually cap myself at $100-ish. I mostly go for the experience so I always bring enough I suppose.

Except a couple of years ago when I made an impulsive figurine collection purchase for like $110 on the last day... That set me back a bit right after May lol.
