It depends upon how I feel about the setting. Currently, I love both Banestorm and Dungeon Fantasy from SJG, so I've picked up quite a few of the pdfs and various other materials for those.
In the past, I dropped a good chunk of change on Ptolus. I loved that setting. I also have a modest amount of D&D 3rd Edition Eberron stuff.
I don't think I've really bought into any of the D&D 4E settings. I wasn't a huge Realms fan to begin with, and I wasn't happy with how Eberron turned out under the 4E ruleset at all. I did pick up Manual of The Planes, so I suppose that's technically part of the 'default' 4E setting, but that's been pretty much it. Aside from just generally not being interested, at the time when some of the source books came out, I didn't like how some of the things were marketed. As a customer (rightly or wrongly,) I occasionally felt as though WoTC was making more effort to sucker me into buying something than they were making an effort to get me to want to buy something.
I guess my answer to your question is that it depends upon how I view the quality of the setting and my opinion of the company trying to sell me the setting.
