I found a shop selling base Carcassonne (new artwork) for £150 last week. It was called: "Always on Sale" ..... you can see why!

It's to do with listing fees - they can vary the price for free - but if they run out of stock (or are going on holiday) - rather than delist and relist (and thus pay for that) they just jack the price up to something nobody would pay (for free)

That makes sense.

Little do they know that if they just included a river with a magic portal on one of the tiles, Carcassonne Central would explode with people who would be fighting each other to see who could pay £2000 for it first.

Why would they have to include it? A picture next to the box would be enough

It seems like a bit of a waste having a magic portal on a River tile as there wouldn't be much to claim anyway...
