Why, with any and every poll, is there always at least one person who can't follow directions?
1) I already have voted.
2) Technically there is absolutely no data to make any accurate vote and hence there is no any direction to follow.

I don't pay more than $30 for a game unless it's something I truly crave (like I did with Uncharted 3).

Seeing as Castlevania has witnessed a very strong drop on my list of gaming priorities since Ecclesia came out, it's not likely I'd shell out top dollar for any Castlevania game at all.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Wow

ANY castlevania game?

Even one that meets your personal taste (assuming you have one)?

Probably not.

I'd say more, but I think it would all belong in a different topic, now that I think about it.

So, no, under no realistic circumstances would I pay more than $30 for a new Castlevania game.

Well, if you paid $40 for it and then sold it to GameStop or on Ebay for $11 or more, you'd technically be spending less than $30 on it.

I'd pay top dollar, even if it was more than $60, as long as the game was good.  But if there was any doubt about the quality after reading reviews, I'd wait to find it used.

But if I knew I was getting an amazing game, like SotN or CV3 or CV4, I would easily pay $60 to own it.
