Depends on the game. If it's something I'm not very interested in, I won't BTA, and I'll pay the minimum $1.

I usually pay the minimum, as I'm rarely interesteed in the BTA games. If I am intersted, however, I obviously pay the BTA price. To be honest, I haven't bought any bundles at all in ages, they've been going down hill for a while. Let's hope the next HiB changes that!

So far, the only bundles I bought were bundles where the BTA games were the only ones that I really wanted to get.
Even if that wasn't the case, I'd pay above average as a matter of principle as long as there's one or two games in the bundle that I really want to play.

Either slightly more than the average or I don't buy it at all.
I can't afford much at the moment but I prefer not to have the games if I have to act like a cheap jackass to get them. If their games are interesting enough for me to want them, they don't deserve to be tricked like that.
If I could I would go as far as to pay way more than the average if one or more games of teh bundle deserve it; if I had more money I would have payed a lot just to give a big ratio to Bastion for example.

If I decided to buy a bundle I always pay at least so that I BTA. I have paid anything from rounding up to the nearest dollar (over BTA) to like $50, depending on how interested I'm in the games and how much money I feel that I can spend at that time.
In genereal I would say that I pay something like $5 for each game I'm intrested in and throw in a few more dollars for the ones that I'm getting as a bonus. If something is like "I must have this game" then I'll chip in some extra money.
Helping devs and donating to charity is a good enough reason for me to chip in a few dollars. I can understand that not all people have the money to to that, but paying $2 instead of $1 once in a while would help raise a lot more money to charity and to the devs so that they can actually continue creating awesome games for us to play, $1 does barely cover the fees for paypal/credit card/banks/exchange and so on.

Even when I've gotten to a bundle at it's beginning, I've always paid above average. The typical range for me is at least $10, sometimes $20. If I buy a bundle though, it's because I'm interested in at least 2 or 3 games. In my little household there's 3 gamers, and they may be interested in some. I really don't have any interest in the soundtracks with the bundles though. When there are any keys left over from any bundles, I have a file on my desktop for the keys w/the game names. I've met some really great people here and check w/friends first. If they already have the game or not interested I just wait. I make a note of who's gotten what keys so there will never be an invalid one. Indie games are interesting and often overlooked by many because of the "big" titles. Plus I enjoy seeing what sort of twisted humor there might be xD

I don't have a job so I can't afford to BTA unless its really low and also a good enough game to justify spending my limited money, sadly this means I've missed out on games like saints row 3. Technically I can't even afford the minimum right now but bundles are just so tempting =p It's not like I actually play most of the bundle games, I just like collecting them lol.

There was a thread like this a while ago. I usually round up to the nearest dollar to get BTA. However, I'd like to pay 3x the average if i was financially able to do so.

I'd like to know how much do people usually pay for bundled games.
Do you pay minimum $1, do you go for at least average or are you generous and pay more than average (how much)?
I personally bought only 2 bundles in my life, one was Humble Indie Bundle 6 and I went for BTA. The other one was recent Darksiders and Red Faction bundle for which I paid only $1 because I didn't have much money on my credit card at that time.
I felt bad and cheap for doing that and I probably won't be doing it again. I think people should pay more if they can afford it, developers that allow their games to be sold for so little deserve support (as opposed to most AAA developers nowadays).
What are your thoughts?
