I was wondering the same. usually older, rare figs that prices went up since they first came out. not usually from RSC but amazon, ebay and other websites. I don't recall which ones exactly but I have done it and not felt bad about it if I really want the figure. Cool mine was Paige at the time because she was my 1st female figure and it was really hard to get.

Most I spent on one figure was like $75 on that E1 Jeff.
I wouldn’t mind spending $100+ on a certain figure that was either custom made or sold out everywhere.

I’m not spending over $30 on a figure. Anything more and I feel its crossed the line on value. I am interested in the Ultra $50 line though.
I am a Hot toys/Statue collector, so I will dish out the big bucks if I feel its warranted. The most I have ever spent on one item was $567 and it was a 1/6 Han solo in Carbonite Throne Room statue from Sideshow. I at one point had over $6,200 in hot toys, and I slipped up around my wife and said that number out loud, I now have a small hand full.

Yeh I’m basically the same if something is in between the £100-350 & I really wanted it I’d definitely get it which I’ve done today & in the past lol, but yeh last option would be a no go just way to much. What did you pay "£100-350" for? spent £125 ($160 ) on 2 off my all time holy grails. Classic Superstars Kona Crush & Adam Bomb, both are mint on card condition.. won them today in a eBay auction, bomb sent me back £35 which was a steal in my eyes & Kona Sent me back £89, Weird thing is there always the 2 classic superstars I’ve found impossible to get or the prices are always ott so to get them both from the same seller & in the price margin I got them for was pretty amazing & I’ve wanted them since I was 10 so to get finally them after 8/9 years again is pretty mark our moment lol

I'm willing to pay up to retail for figures. Consider it a steal when I can get a fig for any price under typical MSRP. It would have to be a very special release to pay over $20-$25.
The only time I can recall paying over MSRP was when I bought the "Lost Legends" Magnum for $25, when I believed it was the only chance of adding him to my collection.

In terms of an individual figure I couldn't envision spending more than $50, not like I have ever spent $50 on figure. Most I have probably ever spent is $35ish?
On a very rare occasion (maybe 3x in the past five years) have I bought a haul off RSC because there were just some figures I couldn't wait for or didn't want to struggle finding them, but still individually priced the figures weren't over like $30 each.

I think the most I've ever spent on one figure was around 35 for Shockmaster on ringside. I've never been able to justify paying more than that. I've thought about it though before coming to my senses.

I don’t buy many figures these days. So I don’t mind spending more on figures I really want. $100 and under...

I guess we know who wears the pants in the family! Let me say this right now you got to let her know who is the King! And I can proclaim this as loud as I want right now. I am the..KING...KING...KING of this castle! And the reason I can proclaim that is because my wife is out right now! But if she was here right now I would say...”Yes dear”

I voted $50
Anything more is overkill for any single Wrestling Figure, I can't think of a single figure they could make that I'd pay $200+ for

It depends if we're talking a single figure or a haul. I've never spent above $30 on a figure, and only went over $25 twice. Most of my figures have been purchased for at or below retail either from stores, RSC, or the secondary market.
For a haul, I've hit the $100-120 mark a couple times. When Flashback 1 Elites and Basics hit I grabbed a set of each, and I'll usually wait until RSC's Black Friday sales to catch up on the figures I want for the past year that usually ends up being $100-200 split up across multiple orders over a week or two. But for the most part I've been patient and have put together a collection I'm happy with for far, far below full retail prices.

I don’t have a limit for a haul, but I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $150 at once.
I don’t pay more than Ringside prices on select most wanted preorders and just retail prices on other figures I buy. When I was first starting and buying on the secondary market to catch up I had a strict limit of $50 for a MOC figure. I only paid that much a few times though and only three times did I ever spend over that... I paid $75 shipped for MOC sdcc undertaker. I paid $65 shipped for tru mailaway Vince new in package but not exactly mint. I paid $75 shipped for L6 warrior MOC but Ive since sold that one for $125.

Yeah exactly. Something like a personal favorite of mine with max acesssories would be the only case I'd blow a lot of money on one figure As far as a haul goes , I've spent $300-400 on a single RSC order in the past , as long as is stuff that I want/need, I'll spend whatever it takes lol
