Games Quarterly Expansion and The Tunnel
« on: December 19, 2016, 06:37:38 AM »
Hello Carcassonne-lovers,

In my quest of completing my Carcassonne-old-style-collection, I'm still looking for 2 expansions for a fair prize (not the dazzling ones on Ebay and even BoardGameGeek):
- the Games Quarterly Expansion (12 tiles)
- the Tunnel

Can anyone help me out?

Greeting and have a nice end of the year!

The GQ expansion is readily available in the US for around $10 USD.  Amazon/ebay.  A seller on US ebay has it for $10.99 or best offer.  He will take $9 USD free shipping (I've done it in the past).  I'm not sure about its availability in other parts of the world.

Tunnels are a bit harder to come by.

Who got a smudge on the tile?

Thanks.  Anyone else?  Maybe helpful to say: I'm from Belgium.

Welcome to the forums thodekey. :(y)

There isn't a lot I can add that Joe hasn't already said. GQ is relatively cheap and easy to get hold of if you're prepared to pay the shipping from the US. If you're not then you might have a more difficult time; I don't know what best to recommend...

Tunnels is still very rare and there are many here who still need it to consider themselves "complete". eBay prices are high, but if that's what people are prepared to pay for it then that's what people will expect to sell it for. Unless Spielbox "find" a load more magazines and sell them at their normal price (unlikely) then I'd say it's equally unlikely that you'll find anyone who is prepared to let it go for your idea of a fair price (depending on what this is of course) simply because you're also a member of Carcassonne Central while it is still so highly sought after. You might strike up a good deal if you have any spare copies of anything that someone is willing to trade for, but you won't get a favourable deal just by asking for one.

Good luck with your search! :)

I have an extra copy of the Tunnel. It comes with the magazine which is still in shrink-wrap. I live in Switzerland but will soon be moving to Portugal. Thodekey, what do you think would be a fair price for it?

Hello Jungleboy,

Thanks for your reaction. I was thinking about 10€ + shipping costs like Joe Esquipedalian mentions in the thought that the shipping cost is lower between european countries.

Or even beter, maybe i can help you with some other expansions you are missing...? Or is your collection complete?

Joe was talking about the GQ expansion, not the Tunnel. My collection is as complete as I want it to be, and I would expect a fair bit more than €10 for the Tunnel, given the €40+ prices on the Geek Market. Anyway, good luck with your search.

Sorry Jungleboy,

I confused the 2 expansions indeed. What would be your fair price for the tunnel?
 And to you and the others: do you like that expansion yourself?

Thanks for the advice, dirk2112!

1 problem (but i'm not that much of a eBay-expert):  it's indicated that he doesn't do shipping outside the USA, unless I buy the package with 3 times that expansion...  :yellow-meeple:

For those interested:

I found another US seller of the Games Quarterly 12-tiles expansion for 14$.  Unfortunately, the shipping to Belgium costs another 14$.
28$ for 12 tiles, that's a lot for me but if inane else is interested, here's the link:

I didn't see anything in the link to suggest postage costs, but if it's any cheaper to have it sent to the UK I'd be happy to be your middle man before sending it on to you...
