What's your worst Carcassonne purchase?
« on: November 06, 2013, 07:32:25 PM »
I'm having some trouble picking my worst purchase.
I got hooked on Carcassonne & just HAD to get every expansion made for the regular game.
& I got (or made) all the current expansions up till 2012, I don't yet have Windroses II or Besigers (never got River 1 or Corn circles 1).
I got most of my expandtions very cheap, but in my hast to get everything,  I did over paid for some & was wondering if anyone else did to?

I paid $55 for tunnels,  new in plastic
I paid $35 for the 10 year pack just to get the Festival (later found festival tiles for $10)
I paid $30 for the School (that's $15 per tile)
& I paid $18 for River 1 & a School that I never got, cuz somehow after doing a western Union transfer to pay the folks that run the site I ordered from. They never confirmed payment or sent my order. :-\

Oh well, what y'all got?

The CundCo Shop:

The link to the shipping condition:
http://www.cundco.de/shop/versandkostenkonto/

The best way (that is not expensive) for people outside from Germany is:
Order only a few pieces (0-10 EUR) than the shipping cost is only 3,95 EUR.

If you have more questions about how to order from outside Germany please write an email to:
service(at)cundco.de

I think that you must to be patient. I found recently the Catars for only 15 euros at eBay.de and the Corn circles I for 18 euros three months ago.  :blue-meeple:

My worst purchase was the Mueller Edition, I paid 40 euros and I want to get only 6 tiles.

Thanks for the info Kettlefish, I had emailed them about it months ago and never heard anything back. Per your suggestion I just wrote them again.
I've seen people on here say they take PayPay payments but I never found where. That's why I used Western Union, they did the transfer for free but you have to wait 5 days for the free one.
And yes I did keep it under the first shipping threshold. They just never sent my items. I even over paid, My bill was 11,43 euro but after waiting 5 days for the transfer the exchange changed and they were paid 12,00 euro.

Please do not wonder if you don't get an answer this week.
There is only one person at CundCo and he is on a business trip.

Thanks again Kettlefish. I wasn't looking to make this a thread about me.

I'm hoping the community will share more of their embarrassingly true stories,
 or guilty confession.

I think someone's worst purchase may not even be money related, maybe included a long drive or some type of misunderstanding.

SirReel,
please name me kettlefish, I am not KF.
-----------------
I always waiting, sometimes years,
now I have for example the Windroses for "nothing"
and the Belagerer also for "nothing".
But sometimes I have to travel through my country to get the nice surprisings.
Also I've got the "Mueller Edition" for nothing, because it was a present from my members at CarcF...

In the next time I will buy the festival, because I didn't like to buy a complete game to get this mini expansion.
I did the same with the CornCircles I - I waited long, but two years ago the CornCircles were sold at CundCo for a small price.

So I think I haven't ever bought pieces from the world of Carcassonne which were to expensive...
I don't use ebay - that is regular expensive, even for the small mini-expansions...

I always post here in the forums: please wait...
----------------------------------------------------------
CundCo has now following mini-expansions in their shop:
- the school
- the windroses
- the gingerbread man (for CC-Winteredition)
- the count
- the little buildings
- Friday (for CC-South Sea)
- the festival
- the river I

Worst purchase depends on your opinion. Some would argue that buying the 10th Anniversary edition for the Festival tiles is not good value. I don't remember how much I paid for Cathars, but that was probably my most expensive cost per tile. In my opinion, the worst purchase I made was Catapult because nothing inside the box has any value unless you play with one of the variants on here.

I agree with you Scott about Catapult,
but I bought the 10-year anniversary box for three reasons:
1-so I could give the original game box back to my girlfriend
2-for the 10 festival tiles (not just 6)
3-for the cool box

PS I don't play the regular rules for either of the Catapult or the Festival tiles
My website:

although the games page is yet to be started
