Not doubting you, but how do you know they are fakes.
Well partly, it's knowledge the tiles are not official HiG tiles - it's also illegal to profit from any fan-made tiles as the artwork belongs to HiG.Secondly, it's looking at the pictures. It's pretty clear they're printed on a laser printer and stuck on with a glue-stick...Check the corners out:
Bit more time over lunch time to highlight some of the tiles which stand out and look odd to me. Now certainly it could be combination of poor camera work, unlucky lighting and possibly some aliasing/compression artefacts when uploading the photos. But I don't think this seller should be given much benefit-of-the-doubt given his previous selling history.My picture is 10MB - so here is a link: DodgyTiles.png.I collected some links last year in December, and informed HiG, which seem to have disappeared now, but they were all counterfeit or marked as fan-expansions or inoffizielle:http://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffizielle-Erweiterungen-Schweineherde-Landzunge-Hans-im-Gluck-/262196044812?hash=item3d0c1a240c:g:ATAAAOSwl9BWNLvQhttp://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffiziell-Tunnel-Sonderkarten-Regelerweiterung-Hans-im-Gluck-/262120736810?hash=item3d079d082a:g:51cAAOSwo6lWNK24http://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffiziell-Kornkreise-Tunnel-der-Dom-inkl-Regel-Hans-im-Gluck-/262115941655?hash=item3d0753dd17:g:utYAAOSwgNRV8Xs4http://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffizielle-Erweiterung-See-und-Angler-La-Porxada-Hans-im-Gluck-/262115952816?hash=item3d075408b0:g:1uUAAOSwAodWFRA3http://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffizielle-Erweiterung-See-und-Angler-Hans-im-Gluck-/262082514697?hash=item3d0555cf09:g:1uUAAOSwAodWFRA3http://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffiz-Erweiterungen-Neue-Moglichkeiten-Kornkreise-Hans-im-Gluck-/262115934285?hash=item3d0753c04d:g:7csAAOSwN81WEkgShttp://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffizielle-Sonderkarten-Belagerer-Neues-Kloster-Hans-im-Gluck-/262120735237?hash=item3d079d0205:g:WQ4AAOSwA4dWNLqHhttp://www.ebay.de/itm/Carcassonne-inoffizielle-Erweiterung-Reiter-Waldhutte-Hans-im-Gluck-/262120776810?hash=item3d079da46a:g:1qcAAOSwAYtWNLmh
And with regard to marking the files as 'inoffizielle' that doesn't make it ok. Here is a link to an offical HiG Statement Kettlefish/MJHarper translated for us many months ago:http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=87.0Edit: sorry should have added: Some of the circles, to me: show printer head-lines
