What do you want to buy? As in what type of product? Card, Coin, Ring, Gimmick or not, Standalone effect, a move, or what?
good point. I should make it more specific lol. I want card, gimmick or not(don't care), and move, technique or trick don't care.
Well there are a on of things you can buy. Your gonna have to be a bit more specific.
You could probably buy a book (or 2). Which one's do you have so far?
Some of my favorite Products: Angle Z by Daniel Madison ($15 DVD), The Advocate by Daniel Madison ($15 DVD), Paul Harris's LVL$ ($10), TnR Transpo by David Williamson ($20, just a bit over $17), any of Jason England's Tutorials (~$10), Blake Vogt's Reform looks Amazing (though I don't have it) ($17). They are all great, and there are others you can find too.
I would probably suggest buying some non-card stuff though, seeing as it is a lot more organic and a bigger bang for your buck when it's under $20 (a lot more options out on the market too).
My suggestion? Nothing.
If there's not something you specifically want and have plans for, save the money and you'll be able to get something even bigger/better down the road.

All of that sounds good. I personally don't find coins and other stuff that interesting at least not yet.
Laymen don't find every card trick interesting. A lot of Card Tricks are pretty Dull. That isn't to say that Card Magic is bad at all, but if the presentation sucks, and the trick seems like an active challenge to the spectator, it sucks.
Coins, Rings, Bills, Rubber Bands, Mentalism, and other stuff seems a lot more Organic than cards. If you can make your card magic seem entertaining and even organic, go for it.
But hey, you do you.
Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. A great book with all sorts of magic.

Apocalypse is pure gold. Spend some time with those books (I'm pretty sure there are only 3 books). Save the $17 !to buy any props you need to do the routines you find.
