What would you buy for 250 bucks?

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

(These are just things off the top off my head. )

Ohh-ho-ho-ho. New arrows, and/or material to build a backing to put behind my target so that the arrows don't break if I miss. (It's a pretty small target. )

Oooootheeerrrwiiiiiise... Hmm...
A really good pool cue? I already have one, and it's good, but I got it for around $60-$70 dollars. It's really good for that price... But a $250 one would be schweeeet!

 

[hyperhammy]

I dunno, what's 250 Dollars in euro's?

...

180?
Christ...

I think I'll save for the 3DS.

I ment to say Euros, but I figured most of the escapist was located in America.

 

[DeeWiz]

just spent 25,000 yen on a 2TB hard drive, high steel wok and ladle, french press, an awesome thermos, large stone dough surface (the one missing thing in my kitchen is counter-space, this covers the sink),and a baking pan

 

[badgersprite]

Spend about $100 on retro movies. $100 would go to music in some form or another, mostly iTunes, I guess. $50 would probably just gradually be eaten away by the day to day stuff like food and transportation, but, if that's discounted, then I might buy a book or something.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

More money.

 

[JenSeven]

Probably on more David Attenborough DVDs, Monty Python or anime.

 

[superbatranger]

I could buy a game or two, and some food. Yeah, money does not last long here.

 

[Socius]

Must not... GAH darn it!
Your mom!... sorry.
couldn't resist!

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Whores.

Sounds good!

OT: 150-225 Quasadillas (depending on the meats they contain and, their size)

Another option...Soda, chips and, beef jerky...and snack cakes

So, the short answer is Food...

OH! To tack on one more, Shrimp...and Crablegs...and Lobster! I want a sea-food feast! BBQ Eel and Seaweed too...AND SQUID! Well, any tentacles really...

If I was offered a 6-pack of Nuka-Cola for $250 I'd pounce on it. I would be eternally conflicted though: Do I pop them open and enjoy the Nuka Cola or, do I keep them protected like the nerd I am?

Gamesgamesgamesgamesgamesgamesgamesgamesgamesgamesgamesgames...
Or a PSP, Birth By Sleep came out you know? I have needs.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

A weekend in my favourite bar/clubs and maybe a movie at the theatre . 181 EUR is not really the amount for big purchases.

I'm not talking about dollars, I acutally ment euros, but I figured most of the escapist is american.

Thats why i guessed it ment $ especially because bucks is pretty much always used for Dollars.
Well for 250EUR i guess i could get a nice good new leather jacket, not such shiny fashion crap, just a good robust piece of clothing.

 

[eatenbyagrue]

Assuming by "250 bucks" you mean "American dollars" and not the funny money we use here, I'm probably gonna buy some controllers for my 360, battery packs and a quick-charge kit, then Fallout New Vegas. Use the rest to buy snacks, apple iced tea and booze

 

[Duffeknol]

250 US dollars? That's worth like, 10 euros nowadays, right?
I guess I'd get a discounted cd or something...

 

[Mistermixmaster]

Do I have to use the money immidiately? I can't use it like in a week or so and use said amount of cash to make an absolutely stonkin' date plan and go out on said date with a girl? Because if I could, I'd totally do that....

[small]Damn, now I wish I had 250 US Dollars/1,457 Norwegian Kroner to spend as I want...[/small]

 

[Malyc]

A .17 HMR varmint rifle.
Goddamn prarie dogs...

Great minds think alike.

I'd get a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500.

Go with the 870, action is less clunky, parts are EVERYWHERE, and the gun will outlast you, your great, great grandchildren, and likely civilization as we know it as long as you maintain the gun.

My friend seems to like his Mossberg 590A quite a bit. I was going to say that I'd really like an AR-15 lower receiver. Damn do we need to start a gun club on this thread or something?

That is the question, and the only available answer is YES!

 

[SimuLord]

I just bought a shiny new computer on credit. $250 would make the first two payments. So I'm-a say that.
