Poll When deciding to purchase a bundle from Humble Bundle I (93 votes)
I was just curious to see how other people approach the Humble Bundles.

I don't have a credit card. Sometimes I put a bunch of Canadian money on my Paypal account then order stuff from the states. After the conversion there is usually like $12 left because I always put on more than I need. I'll save it for PSN and Humble sales until it whittles down to an amount that can't buy anything, like $1.28 or something. That's when it gets dumped into a pay what you want thing like humble bundles. Right now I think I've got like 80 cents and I'm waiting for a book bundle that looks interesting. I don't really buy the game bundles because I already have more games than I can play.
I pretty much always pay above the average even if the games above aren't of interest. That's usually a good number of petty cash I'd spend on other dumb stuff so might as well could grab the games. Usually give them to the devs.
Depends. Usually I'll pay just enough (generally $10-15) to get everything if there's enough games/stuff in the bundle I don't already own. I also have a habit of paying just above the Linux average, since they're almost always the highest payers. This last one, I already owned most of the games except for Prison Architect, Race The Sun and Luftrausers, but I went ahead and bought it for $65 because the physical tier (something I don't usually go for) looked awesome.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm surprised, I thought more people would do what I do - just pay $15 for every bundle that I want. Saves me from wasting time thinking too much about the value proposition and $15 is just a couple of beers so doesn't break the bank.
I pay 10 dollars, if there aren't 10 dollars worth of games in there to me I won't buy it at all.
Same here. If I'm not willing to pay $10, then I don't really want the games in the bundle that bad. Nothing against the people that always only give $1, but it's not how I prefer to do it. Doing this, I still have over 30 un-redeemed games. I'd rather give them away over time (usually on Twitch) than to install them just to play for 10 minutes. If I got every bundle available, I can't imagine how many unplayed games I'd have.
I do the default split all the time. They came up with that based on what percentages keep everyone happy and Humble in business. I like what they do, so I don't mess with the split.
I try to give a fair price (and one that I can afford) and I try to take account that a % is going to a charity (which they let you decide!! K-mart wont let you do that.). There services are really good, considering its going to a charity I think there service really goes above and beyond. Just the idea of buying a bundle and the money goes to charity and they still let you gift stuff from that bundle is just amazing (instead of just hoping you recommend that bundle to a friend). Basically there more then fair and very generous with the way they offer there service.
