I'm in at £120. Might want some spinoffs as well so is it OK to finalise tonight.

By all means make offers on some other items :)

I won't "finalise" anything tonight, though - I need to give others a chance to express their interest, and there is another party interested who will not return from an overseas trip for 5 days.

Cheerio :)

Classing this as offer declined you can sell to the other party.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but for the avoidance of doubt the item is still for sale and if someone offers me more than you did then of course I will sell it to them; if no one offers me more, then it can be yours if you still want it then.  If you don't want it then, it's not a problem.

I'm not waiting 5 days to see if my offer is acceptable or not and that is why I am withdrawing it. any offer I would be willing to go with would be lower now.

I see.  In which case I think it best you and I have nothing more to do with each other.

This is one of the boxes I wish I picked up several years ago. It slipped me by. Thankfully I have all the game components separately. No offer from me, but happy you're giving everyone a chance to show interest.

@supertopix - We don't have many rules on this forum. Sellers can use this space for what they wish. If you don't agree with the price, I'd appreciate if you can at least be civil. Or use this thread for it's intended purpose: For people to make offers.

I don't think Egmar is under any delusion that the items he's offering for sale abide by the consumer laws of supply and demand. By keeping negotiations in the open, everyone can see what things are worth, and things are only worth what someone is willing to buy.

Yes, of course. And I know the rules. But let me live the idea of being in a forum for Carcassonne lovers and gamers, and not in a scalpers world. That said, I’m happy when someone can find a very hard to find tile, and so be it.

I'm not sure you quite recognise the time (hours and hours and hours) and effort and knowledge that goes in to assembling a large collection of hard-to-find Carcassonnerie, finding it in unlikely places, paying for it and its shipping, keeping it, cataloguing it, listing it, dealing with enquiries about it, working out best-price shipping for it, working out payment arrangements for folks who don't know how to do it and then packing it and posting it.   If I paid myself UK Minimum National Living Wage (£9.50/hr) I'd probably break even overall.   I resent being called a scalper - even tangentially.

@supertopix I've asked you to be civil. I don't have to live on a forum with people are rude.

I don't think a love of a game should mean someone should sell an item here, to someone they didn't know, for less than market value. We don'tstipulate that you have to sell it for less because there are fans here. That's nonsense.

If you don't like it. Don't post. Post somewhere else. There's no need to be rude.

 I'm happy the forum gets some traffic at least and helps people determine how much their collection might be worth, or how much something might cost, or at least how much they should insure it for. As items become harder to find. They are harder to replace.

Also a scalper is someone who buys and sells tickets unofficially for a quick profit. A totally inaccurate term to use.

Carcassonne isn't a ticket.
There is no official means of selling or buying Carcassonne.
And from what I can tell the items come from a personal collection, rather than being purchased with the intent to sell on quickly.

So... to help people determine what's reasonable for this rare item.

I could buy this expansion for over 270€ On ebay.
Or I could buy 5 of the 6 Siege tiles for 97€ on ebay.  :(y)
The Siege tiles sold for ~80€ on BBG over the past year, and ~160€ last month.
This box sold for over 200€ on BGG a while ago.  Some sales around 40€ were made, but I suspect they might be partial listings.

I'd say that a supportive community has as much duty to ensure something isn't sold for less than it's value. There are plenty of people willing to rip someone off by buying an item for far less than it's true worth...maybe even to turn it over for a quick profit.

I would also like to make an offer for this item, for 120 GBP (£). I am not in a rush  and I dont mind waiting for anyone else to express their interest for it!
Cheers :)
