What's the most you've ever spent on a disc?

$110

Brand new, never thrown, original Innova Eagle (pre-Aero). There is no tooling on the bottom, and it sports the rare TM symbol (Innova couldn't trademark the word Champion, as I understand it). Bought it for the history behind the disc.

Very very cool, to say the least! :thmbup: :clap: DG history
 
$100 on a proto-star CE Gazelle. I've spent $65-75 on a few others, but typically stay below $50 for collectors and $30 for throwers.
 
Around $18 when I first started out.

I won a McPro Aviar with one of his special rating stamp on the back at a raffle a few years back. Worth about $50 now, as far as I could tell. But I'll never spend more than on basic Champion/Z plastic. Usually around $13.99 on discgolfcenter.com these days.
 
My rule was always $40. There's a few rarer things I like to throw.

But in the last several months I've broken that rule twice -- a 2003 USDGC CE Roc and a 2004 USDGC Hole 5 Roc -- came in closer to $50 than $40 each. I like Rocs.

I throw them all plenty.

Throw. Them. All.

(Except that Proto Eagle -- don't ever throw that.)

Tied with several at 17.99 first runs of the Rask, Stiletto and Harp are all I can remember.

I'm not a collector so I try to keep it cheap.
 
About $50 for a CE Leopard. Sold it a few years later for $75 or so. Now I would say $20 is my limit, and even then I would only do it with PayPal funds from other sold discs.
 
$20 each on two glow champ Big Bead Aviars. I had one, but I wanted a couple of backups. Luckily I found a website that had two so I snagged them. I am thinking about buying two flat topped glow champ Gators from the same website, but those are $22 a piece.
 
Spent $100 for one of the Mcbeth St Judes disc, that is the most expensive that I have actually paid for, but I do have a proto destroyer that I won on a raffle... :)
 
Got a first run esp nuke off of ebay a year or so ago for 40ish. never paid more than that. its just a wall hanger now and i thought it would be the solution to my driving woes at the time. most my bag is misprints and factory seconds to be honest. i dont like paying much for plastic.
 
$22 for a pre-flight number Star Sidewinder. Felt stupid at the time, but given the use it has gotten and how some $16 discs have end up being given away, it was not a bad deal.
 
$30 for a Midnight Z Buzzz. That's the absolute most I would pay for a collector disc, maybe $35 if I really wanted it.

Besides that, around $15 for a premium disc. I try not to go over that.
 
I snagged a first run Starfire from Steve Rico for 30 bucks some years back. I throw the two common Starfire molds, this is the discontinued one, though, so I have a more complete set.

Probably 20 bucks. Don't really keep track. I do remember in my ball golfing days I spent 700 on a golf driver. That was a bit crazy, I ended up flipping it back on ebay and want to say I made 50 on it. :|

You can't buy distance in either sport. hehe
 
A single disc? About $25 on a first run Nuke that I ended up losing in the snow. So stupid.

I remember making the transition from high school hockey to college hockey. Completely different color scheme, walked out of Johnny Mac's after spending well over a grand. Probably even more stupid, but, I at least still use the vast majority of that equipment to this day. And that was about 9 or 10 years ago.
 
The 4x glow rocs were 30 or 35 at release, only bought one but now wish I had gotten a stack. Outside if that, 20 for 10 yr buzzzs.
 
I think around $22 or so in cash.

I have spent more using funny money on collectibles after tourneys, though. Mostly because I don't need/want any more throwers from the stock bins, and am looking for something to flip.
