I've bought the bike abt 2 months ago used for 175 euro it is a haro (no idea about the exact model) i had it powder coated for 150 and si ce that i've only had to order new stuff for it. I'd like to know whats a normal amount to spend on is and then imma reveal how much i did (so far)
Stuff that was needed:
Grips 10€ cut the old ones off before painting
Headset lost 1 old spacer and got a whole new headset for 30€ couse a little upgrade of that never hurts.
What do you think is normal to spend on it after this when things go wrong at what point sould have i just sold it and bought a better one instead?

Replacing parts with better parts is never “too much”. Even if you blast the frame to pieces you can take all those upgrades and slap em on a new frame.
Now, there are certain things I would never personally do- like lacing a set of profiles to generic single wall rims. But for the most part, any set of cranks/bars/etc you buy should translate to the new whip.
I’ve spent over 2k dollars on my build. The wheel set alone was 1000 frame was 700 cranks were 300 stem was 100 bars were 100 seat was 70 sprocket was 70 pedals were 75 chain was 30 seatpost was 30 …. You get the idea .
I’m mean you’ve spent to much by far on paint. Tops €100 and even then that’s high.
I have 6 BMX’s 1 of witch I put $3k CAD Another I spent $2.5k and another I spent $2k Have of my bikes have about $7500
