Oh, the art of tweaking buy time in CS:GO! If you're the server admin or playing a private match, just open the console (tilde key ~) and type 'mp_buytime X' (without quotes), where X is the number of seconds you want for buy time. Keep it reasonable though, don't wanna wait forever to start the action!

Tried changing buy time and ended up feeling like I had ages to pick weapons. Remember, folks, just because you can crank it up, doesn't mean you should. Makes the game drag and honestly, it's more about quick decisions and skill, not dawdling over weapon choices.

mp_buytime command, period. Open console, type it, play. Keep it simple.

Honestly? Keep the default buy time. Part of CS:GO's charm is the pressure to make quick and smart decisions. Extending the buy time too much just dilutes the experience. Stick to what's tried and true.
