Spending $100 on a variant cover of a fairly current comic seems pretty strange to me.
When I'm in a comics shop (and I haven't been for about two years now) the only thing I can see myself paying $100 for is the 20 Oz Dr Pepper cooler and that probably would cost me well over $100.
Even if I was still buying comics I'd probably spend $100 on two of those DVD's with every issue of a series up to 2005 or several volumes of essentials style reprints and I'd still have enough change left over for a burrito at Chipotle.
As a rule, even when I was buying comics (and hating them) I didn't feel any particular attraction to stuff that happened to have Cable, Dead Pool, Venom, Vengeance, Spawn, or a Gen 13 character on the cover.
I don't even buy Japanese toys or gaming miniatures anymore. I rarely buy anime and when I do it's in those 'full series' budget collections for $35. Sometimes I get THOSE used for half price.
Take away video games I guess I'd spend most of my money on used paperbacks, soda, fast food, and gas.
I guess I am becoming a cheap ass.
