If you go to the sales board here at Basenotes, there are tons of seller who offer great prices and you don't need to go through the hassle of E-Bay. I've bought from lots of people here and they've all been really friendly and reliable. All you do is paypal them the dough and they hook it up with the decants and usually some free samples too. Def worth checking out. Some of the bottle suggestions have been great too, though I'd be wary of blind buys for $150. For instance, no offense to the people that recommended this, but it's CLEARLY not a good idea to buy C&S No.88 without hesitation.

Answer:
Idole de Lubin with decants of Timbuktu, Voleur de Roses, and samples of Serge Lutens Boisées collection.

It irritates me that Carnal Flower is $30 more than it was when it was released.

Answer:
I would blow it all on a large bottle of Jore de Fete by L'Artisan. That is my new craze for the year. I like the almond in it and can't wait to own it. I would have about $20 left over, so I might buy something really cheap like Gucci Envy, sincy my bottle was sold a while back...

Answer:
1) small bottle of PdN New York...ebay
2) LARGE bottle of Cuiron...amazon
3) small bottle Dior Homme...ebay
4) as many small decants as the rest would buy

Answer:
Go to Lafco and try any of the Santa Maria Novella scents, Lorenzo Villoresi or Le Sirenuse Eau D'Italie. I would personally go with any of the Eau D'Italie scents. They're selling for $120 + tax (100 ml).
