I notice that amazon canada are selling the new edition at a $20 markup over the price that is usually charged - maybe they figure it will be a limited collectors edition.
quite an amazing range of prices for carcassone stuff on amazon it really pays to know where to shop for this stuff.
You don't have to look very far to find people charging ridiculous prices for Carcassonne stuff (
ahem). A quick browse of eBay and it isn't uncommon to find the Spiel 2014 tile for instance going for £20 or more, and this is something that is free from Cundco (if you write them a poem)!
It often feels like Cundco is a secret little place for people who are "in the know" like us, but in reality I'd love it if more people knew about this as it would help them to build and enjoy their collections and stop rip-off cowboys from making so much profit on these things through eBay.
If I had a penny for every time I had to stop and bite my tongue when reading about "Rare" and "Hard to find" things on eBay that can be bought through Cundco for a tenth of the price I'd have £5.62...
