About $30, which is coincidentally how much I've made off of real money auction house in diablo 3. Say what you will about the balance and issues about that game, but the fact that I get new games for playing another game makes it awesome.
@VicRattlehead: Yeah, mandude is right, Civ 5 has been on sale in both a daily deal and a flash sale. I'm hoping that they occasionally have repeat flash sales, though, as I missed out on Warlock and Grimrock. If they do repeat sales I would assume that Civ 5 will be high on the list. I got my copy for $7.49, and they were also selling the complete edition for $12.49. Figured I'd pass on the complete edition and just get the Gods & Kings expansion during the Christmas sale.
About 20 euro maybe, not sure. Anyway only bought From Dust and The Walking Dead. I have to say The Walking Dead is the best game I have played this year so far. Excellently written and just good overall. I can't wait for the next episodes.
The rest of the sale is fairly meh for me though. Nothing really catching my eye or any thing I really want to buy.
I've spent about $70-80. Don't have much money right now and most of the stuff on sale is stuff I already have. There have been a few things I might have picked up with a bit more cash on hand but I'm quite happy with what I've picked up.
Got the expansion for binding of isaac... everything else I've either got on 360, or want to get on 360 for achievements. (not really important but I like them anyways, gives me something to shoot for once I finish a game) There's been a few tempting sales, but nothing that I could see myself needing. :/ Hoping for an arma 2 flash sale or some such like a few others, but few days left yet, might find something I can't live without.
Nothing. I already have a lot of games I haven't played yet, some really good ones, and I'm still sorting out my gaming pc. I've mainly been gifted stuff by a friend, who (or we) hopes we can have a huge LAN-type-thing and play through a lot of games.
i wouldn't call it damage. i feel like i should have paid MORE. gone up to 84 euros now (kinda like a 100 $ or smt?)
i've bought: mirror's edge, portal, portal 2, back to the future series, witcher 2, from dust, monkey island 1 and 2 special editions, red faction guerilla, assassins creed 2 + all dlc, assassins creed brotherhood + all dlc, fable 1, stacking, gta 4 + all dlc, arkam city: harley dlc, simcity 4 deluxe and dragon age + all dlc
i would have also bought bordlerlands with all dlcs, both bioshocks, fallout 3 and new vegas, but they are crappy low violence editions so no thanks..
Not too bad so far, I held off looking until today and only ended up spending $9.50 or so on Hitman: Blood Money and Longest Journey. Sim City 4 is tempting me though.
So, far about $159. I was completely broke for the last 2 sales, so I had a lot of catching up to do!

Not too shabby when you consider that it's the equivalent of 2 new games and 1 used. There are a few others I want to pick up, but I'm waiting for either a daily deal, community vote, or flash sale on them. If not, I'll pick them up on Sunday.
Just an update, including gifts on sale I'm now a little over 300$ and having trouble thinking of anything else that I'd even buy since krater went on sale. I think I might be done unless something awesome goes on sale that I didn't even think of.
-DCS Black Shark for 5$. I blame flight club, but I already love it. I'm still holding out on Warthog going even cheaper than it is.
-Saints Row 3. It is just about as awesome as GB made it out to be.
-Legend of Grimrock, really intense game. Definitely getting a nostalgic feel of challenge from it.
-Binding of Isaac. I'm still not even sure what that game is, but for two dollars I have to at least try it.
That's about all for now. There's so many games that I only sort of want that I've been paralyzed with indecision. It's saving me a lot of money at least.
So far the only things I've bought are The Binding Isaac DLC, Wrath of the Lamb, and Legend of Grimrock. I also got Sid Meier's Civ 4 + expansions and Civ 5 a few days before the sale started though. And I gifted some game or the other to some duders in The Giant Bomb Steamgifts Giveaway Group. So I'm pretty sure my total is something like $20. I don't really want to buy anything else but I imagine I'll probably break down and buy S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat before the night's over.
$25.45 on Terraria, Hitman: Blood Money, Poker Night at the Inventory, Double Fine pack (Costume Quest, Stacking, Psychonauts), and Indie Bundle V(Audio Surf, Gemini Rue, The Tiny Bang Story, Ys: the Oath in Felghana, Greed Corp).
Warlock - Master of the Arcane: I already played an epic 11 hour game and fuck was that an excellent purchase already. I had heard good things, I was very pleased.
Tribes - Ascend Steam Starter Pack: A surprisingly fun game. I'm a couple dozen hours in, bought some things on the cheap. Really quite good for ftp.
NFS - Hot Pursuit: I checked it out for 2 hours on the racer side and I'm glad I bought it. Great arcady Criterion racing fun approachable by idiots with little skill like me.
Total around 18 €. Fine with me so far.
Now I'd really like to resist the Sins: Rebellion daily because that would just double my spending. I didn't play the franchise since the very first (excellent) game though and really want to again. Hm...
On my list were Sniper Elite V2 & SpecOps: The Line which didn't really get enough of a discount because they're too new. Same goes for Civ5 Gods & Kings which I'd only buy at 10-15 € right now since I also have a small or medium sized backlog I can't wait to get into.
Fallout 3: GOTY - $4.99 - I've played the 360 version extensively, never played any of the DLC though.
Just Cause 2 - $3.74 - I've always had my eye on this. This seemed like a price too good to pass on.
GTA: San Andreas - $3.74 - I've had a ridiculous urge to play this again. Cheaper than buying it on PS2 or Xbox.
Cave Story + - $2.49 - Just looks really cool.
That's a lot-o-game for $14.96.
I'm trying to wait on The Witcher 2. I know I wouldn't get around to it until the end of the year. Hopefully it's on sale again during the holiday sale.
I'm sure I'll grab a few more things on the cheap.
So far I've spent around $34 on Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition, S.T.A.L.K.E.R Collection, and a little twin-stick shooter called Waves. I'm still considering Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Ghost Sniper.
All told, around 40 bucks. The only reason it isn't higher is cause I have a mac and a lot of stuff isn't compatible. I love macs but maaaan. I'm seriously considering picking up a PC. I'm missing out on some great games.
