Almost always BTA, and pay an extra £0.65 if I can. But I can't really pay much more than that since I spread the money out around different bundles on top of the fact that I don't have all that much "disposable" income as it is.

It depends on how many of the games I will play or don't already own. I've gone with $1 once or twice when there was only one game I was only partially interested in but typically I will pay a couple dollars over the BTA with a min of $5. I also tend to increase the default charity amount, typically splitting close to 50/50 with the devs and a small tip.

i did back when drm free and crossplatform were mandatory and the bundle was special. these days its lost that and became just another bundle site for cheep games so i just squeak into wherever tier i want and if bta doesnt appeal then its just 1$. same as i usually do for all the other bundle sites(so many bundle sites can hardly donate on all of them and none of them stand out much so I haven't picked the new site I'll do that for yet)
I can still do it for supporting the devs which was the third thing I liked about humble, but other bundles do that too so unless its a company I really like in there usually its a penny over bta lately and only if I wanted the bta anyway(ok so i wanna blame them but partly its also economic reasons since I'm poor impulse control enough to buy all the different bundle sites at least below average anyway. I can skip fewer if humble isn't getting $10 anymore, so if imo they aren't "earning it" anymore its an easy excuse)

Depends how thin is my bank acount at the moment, I usualy try to pay a buck or two over the TBA, rounded over, but must confess that ONCE I was really broke but wanted baddly the below average games of a bundle, so I paid one buck for my eternal shame #>.<#

Always pay at least the BTA value when I get a bundle, usually more.

I usually pay $10 or $20 to make it easier to identify on my bank statement at the end of the month, but I have paid less for certain bundles (Android 6 and Mojam 2 comes to mind). I paid far more for HIB 9 because I've wanted all of those games for quite some time and thought they deserved a few extra bucks.

TL;DR - Gamers are to cheap and scaring away potential HB partners so they are experimenting with solid prices to beat
I always pay more than the average whenever I buy a bundle/weekly from HB. But I'm not one of those who buys every single bundle/weekly from them.
Normally I tend to chip in 2-5 dollar per game/item in a bundle. Once or twice I've chipped in just enough to BTA. I'm a student and sometimes I need money for other things than games, but I would never pay less than the average, especially when the BTA normally is way under $10 and paying less than the average would feel like leeching of HB, the devs and charity.
Here's a email I got from the humble support a few days ago, that email alone would stop me from buying below-the average for any bundle
"The set prices for BTA content is an experiment we are trying out. Due to the low averages of our previous bundles (way below expectations) it is difficult for us to convince developers to partner with us. While we are a charity driven company, developers still need to see the bundles as a financially viable option for them. Thank you for your support,
Support Ninja"

Not 'financially viable' to partners - lol. Even EA took notice. I think the problem is that they're trying to convince the wrong people.
Edit: oops, hit tab it seems. Also, it's interesting to see people compare donation sizes and feel bad for not giving enough, or make others feel less for not giving as much. Seriously? The amount would be $0 if they were not trying to reach out to a market. Suddenly when they do, $1 or $5 is not enough? Come on. :)

keys used to be included in the $0.01 versions, until it got exploited when steam had a sale based on accounts having a certain number of games or something like that at exactly the same time as the bundle was available, people made tons of dummy accounts and fed them with the bundle to make them look real enough because you could get 100 for $1. and so they changed it(but that wascarenard's post not mine. mine was just saying nobody here wants drm free you guys love steam for some reason :P)

I always pay $1, and nearly never buy BTA bundles (bought only one, Origin bundle, since a friend wanted BF3), paid exactly the average for that one

I've once paid $25 for the Humble Indie Bundle V, and $10 for the Humble THQ Bundle.
What about you? :D
