Title: Want to have a laugh ?
Post by: DIN0 on June 25, 2020, 04:33:59 PM
Searching through the internet, I have found this obvious scam regarding Carcassonne "rarities" :o. Here is the  link:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/carcassonne-collection-including-many-1891842149
The description is absolutelly hilarious, when you compare it to the photos provided  ;D

Highlights include hyperbolic claims such as collection so "massive" that it "would be easier to list what is not included", or collection worth over "1000 USD".
Seller also talks about certain items being still in shrink wrap, but the only things that are wrapped are those which he/she shrinkwrapped himself/herself, such as the School and the attempts at The King and The Cult minis, which are really just cut out from the Exp. 6 Count, King and Robber  to look like their more rare counterparts (you can clearly see the crown watermark on photos).

The whole thing is incredibly pathetic and hilariously obvious scam for anyone that knows their Carcassonne, but I do wonder if some casual person who just got into the hobby would fall for this ? ???
Just try to count all the lies !
