Comic collecting

Hi, I am about to start collecting Marvel and DC comics a bit more serious now than I have before.
Starting on Sunday when the new comics arrive to the only comic book store in this city (Goteborg, second largest city in Sweden)

Though I am a little pissed of by the prices, we have these Swedish translated comics, which usually is a half year after due, and we have these new comics, non translated, which is pretty OK, with the exception of the price, that is $10 and it kinda pisses you off when you see that the original US cover price is $3 ...

Anyways, I've been picking up issues at random, bought the comics when I've felt for it etc. and read the rest of my comics online, mainly this one http://groups.msn.com/UltimateSpidermanOnlineComic

Anyways, I was wondering how much you spend at comics a week and how much you've spent in total (approximately) on all your comics.

Also if there is any good old series that I should pick up on ebay.

Thanks - Mike.

Your money is different altogether. Don't think everything is just cheaper here.
What money do you use?
I just did a translation of 3 dollars into Swedish Kronor, and comics by that system should be costing over 20. So if that's you're system, you're actually getting them half off, compared to us.

I spend maybe an average of $10 a week...sometimes as much as $25, sometimes only 1-2 comics. It all depends on how much came out that weeks that I'm interested in. I follow ASM and Authority entirely, then randomly pick up bigger events and series if I'm interested enough.

They cost 70-79kr/issue that slightly above $10

And no, it's just the comics that are more expensive.

Unless it's a particular issue/series that I really want, and can't wait to get... I usually stick with TPB's...

More bank for your buck, imo.
