How do you keep track? I thought Bricklink expunges personal records after a while.

I would be interested to know how much I spent on Bricklink this year too...

You could easily make a spreadsheet or a simple word document with a couple columns to keep all your information in. I'm surprised your average cost per piece is only $0.11. I'd expect it being quite a bit more, but when you shop this much at Bricklink you probably know all the good places with the best prices and service

It's because of scary numbers like this that I try to avoid adding it all up.

Wow, Thomas. Interesting stats.

Amount spent on Lego: Unknown

Amount spent, according to wife's estimate: Too Much

Amount of satisfaction for the old dog: Unmeasurable!

I do know that my Lego purchases will be few, if any, in 2009 (other than King's Castle Siege at Wally World's clearance sale price). I must, therefore, build with what's available in my tubs. A daunting task, but one I look forward to with glee! Happy 2009, folks!

As long as you're logged in, you can download your order totals from since Bricklink started. Go to the Download page under the Orders tab. It gives info like order total, shipping, lot and piece count, store name, etc.

Really? I followed your instructions, but it only showed my purchases since May 2008... which amount to about $600.

I can't imagine how much I spent on Lego since Bricklink started... I just hope it doesn't hit four figures

Same here.

My total from 8/28/08-present is $82.19 with shipping. I do a lot of my purchasing elsewhere, however.
