Title: WTB - Katharer and Russian promos
Post by: Thrawn on October 15, 2019, 07:59:54 PM

Hi guys,

i was looking for Katharer and russian promo offers and found this site:

https://www.think4group.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3851

https://www.think4group.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=9267

As you can see both minis are available here in quite big volume. (also Darmstadt promo).
My question would be: did anyone buy from this site? Is it legit or can it be a scam?

Thank you for your feedback in advance.

It seems like a case of: "If it seems too good to be true, it is"
They've got a lot of listings for Carcassonne items, and everything is in the price range between €30-€40. Even a listing of the Base game with all major and lots of mini expansions.
A lot of pictures seem eBay-like.
They've got multiple listings for the limited edition of the Markets of Leipzig edition as well, with quantities available that don't make sense to me.

I wouldn't trust them, but would be curious to see what happens if someone orders from them  :P

I've seen a lot of those sites. DONT TRUST THEM!

Okay, why?
1. Numbers: all the prices are coming from 160/140 to 40/30 euros. Isnt this strange?? Even for small items? Those prices are just automatically generated.
2. Domain, .com and the site is in German, most of them take a .de I find it weird. But its not directly wrong jusg check it.
3. Check for socialmedia links, if they are on socialmedia its maybe a bit more legit. But if they have socialmedia buttons and direct to a strange fb or instagram DONT TRUST THEM
4. Look for shipping numbers / contact information, where do they come from.

After you think its still legit order and hope you get your valuebles.

I wouldnt order to many red flags

The linked page on the first post is scam.

Anyone who would like to sell spare Katharer or Russian promos for a reasonable price?
