| I'm guessing around 500.00 USD. Not that much compared to say other hobbies like golfing or fishing. Grip now hes crazy so can't count him lol. |

| I have so far spent nothing this year, in fact I may be showing a bit of profit Sold: Taylor P5's - £38 Robbo's - £30 Wades x2 - £40 Nicholsons - £25 Bought: Lewis Silica x2 - £70 Stems/ Flights - £20 Bonzwa Case - £40 Showing a £3 profit Have enough stems and flights to last the year so my aim will be to go the year withough spending anything on darts, if I wants to buy something I first have to sell something. I agree, since joining forums and seeing other folks darts and taking about set up's I have spent a fortune - whereas before I had a set of darts I got from Steve Beaton and used them for years before tinkering. |

Yeah I got some, I only just tried them for the first time. Very nice but will need a longer session before I make my mind up. |

| I don't want to figure it out. Then, the cheapness will come out of me and that will end the incessant dart supply shopping I have been doing. |

| God knows - over £1,000 though in the last year. The Cosmo gear alone is probably around the £750 mark, then there's around 35 sets of darts, countless amounts of normal shafts and flights, several cases, 3 boards and a few other bits and bobs.
This year won't be as much but will still be a few bob. I reckon I have enough Cosmo's to last a while so won't be buying too many new sets of flights, so it's probably going to be 1 or 2 sets of darts a month I reckon. I'm guessing at a total somewhere between £500 and £750.
I'm only buying about 5-10% of the amount of cd's and dvd's now since I rediscovered darts - so this hobby is actually saving me a bit of money lol. |

| This year about $130 so far, but I need a new board badly, so I'll probably order that this week.
Bought a backup set of my Sabotage and a set of the Bull's Barney phantom grips. Haven't even OPENED the sabotage since I tried (and fell completely madly in love with) the Barneys.
Hmm. Maybe I should just go ahead and sell them, but I think I'll give the old set a throw tomorrow and see how I get on with them now that I've been using the Barney's for a while.
Since I don't really need flights or stems for a while (year) except for experimenting (can you say Cosmo? I knew you could) I'll probably end up right at the $200 mark for the year unless I have to replace my board again before the end of this year. That's pretty unlikely though. I practice a STUPID amount and this board has lasted 8 months so I'm probably good until next year if the Bulls Advantage can take it at least as well as the Nodor did. |

| Since I meet you guys my mind has gone So I spend about 200-600 UKP a year to buying darts If you count the darts I buy to sell to others, then it would be about 1000-1500 UKP |

| For a stretch of time I was spending about $60 (about €40) every month. Once I found my McCoy Max darts I have calmed down with the spending. |

| holy f**k. some of you lads have more money than sense i suppose the name dartsnutz suits perfect then. as long as your spending your money on something you enjoy I can see no problem, I'm just jealous, i'd be killed if i spent that. so far this year I bout my new set for around £20, stocked up on stems and flights etc for around another £30 and got a new board yesterday at £28 so still under £100 all in. I'm glad i don't swap and change my darts much........... |

| I don`t spend much, probably just a few pound a week on flights and stems and a new board every January 1st . I would occasionally buy a set of darts of ebay for what I see as a bargain ( usually between 5-10 pound ) but I don`t know why I buy them because I`ve used the same set up for hundreds of years now and I`ll never change it. Perhaps you lot are just a bad influence on me.......Yes that`s it, Grip made me buy them. That`s my story and I`m sticking to it. |

Blaming others is a sure sign of Darts Addiction, sadly the only cure is to buy more darts |
