How much money have you spent on Prince?

Based upon youe entire Prince collection including all protege albums, tribute albums, video, bootlegs, concert tickets (tack on the airfare if you did that too!). How much have you spent on Prince and would you do it all over again? Also are you going to keep on spending more?
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

I can't put an amount on it, but it's definitely shameful! eek
The music, the concert tix, the magazines and paraphernalia, the gas driving to concerts in other states, the website memberships and other stupid shit... disbelief

I posted it already on the 'What do you want from Prince' thread. I spent most of that money on him back in the early 80's. Today I wouldn't stand in a long line around the corner for Prince. I also wouldn't rush to see one of his last minute shows. I love him but I'm not the1 for his ego-tripping, inconsiderate bull$hit. cool He must want rich fans only. lol

Wow, I've been a fan for so many years that it would be impossible for me to even try and come up with a number.

One of my earliest memories of "spending money on Prince" is being at a neighborhood fair when I was a kid. I played roulette all weekend long because I was trying to win a Prince mirror. It was a mirror about the size of an album cover, with his picture from the PR era etched on it. Eventually, I DID win it though! lol

And yes, I'd spend every dime all over again. Actually, I'd spend even more as I had some opportunities that I regret not taking advantage of.

Probably too much. Who cares.
Now what IS a fair price for content?
That is the american question which has been forgone for way too long. Ask the (C) cartels over there. **AA and such.

Haven't spent a cent. I have a huge shoplifting problem, though.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

How much have you spent on Prince and would you do it all over again? Also are you going to keep on spending more?



Why are you asking?:

1. You're from the census bureau.

2. You're an IRS agent.

3. You're Ed McMahon's replacement and the lucky winner will win $1,000,000

4. You're trying to justify to your husband/wife why you've spent the rent money on Prince memorabilia; and your hoping to find someone who has spent more than you to use as a foil.

I've spent too much lol... biggrin

buying vinyl LPs, CDs, cassettes, VHS videos, Dvds from 1983 to 2009,

concert tickets, I have seen about 17 concerts in Denmark, Holland, Germany, Sweden, and UK.

and I used to spend a lot on bootlegs too,

My guess is 50,000 danish kroners.

all in all - about $ 10,000. Just a guess.

I guess about $700 dollars over a period of 29 years. I'm sure that is why I am barely making it today. cool

Since 1978: Probably something around $500-$600. Though I've never spent a dime on any of his websites. Going forward: As long as Prince keeps producing, I'll keep consuming. Can't imagine Prince would ever fall off my radar, unless he makes a determined effort to do so.
