Title: The Cathars
Post by: scotty13 on January 14, 2009, 11:33:06 am
I recieved a copy of The Cathars today with the almanach.  To my surprise there is English in the back for the magazine.

Now my collection is complete.

I got it from the BGG marketplace, and he has another one there now for anyone crazy like me that must have them.  It will cost you quite a bit.

Hey cool, that's the same guy I got mine from.  I'd definitely buy from him again (though I really don't want to payout that much again).  Damn my completistness, so much for so few number of tiles.  ??? ::)

good score.  I tried ebay a few times, but the price climbed to high.

25 euros is a bit pricey for 4 tiles.  You can get them cheaper on the german ebay, but they might not send it outside germany.

Although I got the Siege, I'll try to buy the Catherers from eBay next month (I already spent too much money this one :) )

25 euros plus 35 euros shipping is almost CAD$100 ::)

I think I'll have to wait until one of guys leaves it to me in your will.

You can have my fake tiles when I kick the bucket.  I'll put that in my will if you let me know your full name and address :p

I already have my own set of fake tiles, but I appreciate the willingness.

OK, so the economy is affecting everything.  When I bought Die Katherer from the same guy Scotty did it only cost me 40euro (including shipping).  But I have seen them go for less then that too, but my Germain is too rusty (though it is better then Google's) to try and bid for one.  Sometimes you gotta pay for convenience.

The shipping for me was only 9 euro not 35.

I just got sooooo lucky! I saw the Hans im Glück Almanac at a book exchange site and wanted to get it just to read it. I already had the cult tiles from Cult, Siege & Creativity so I didn't care that only the Stone Age tiles would be included. But then the lady who was supposed to send me the almanac said she couldn't find the Stone Age tiles any more and would I mind if she included the Cathars instead? :o

Got my package today... ;D

That looks like a good game though.

For those interested, you can read a review of Stone Age by Jambo and an unboxing by me here: http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=270.105 (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=270.105)

Perhaps you should start a new thread in the Other Games forum for it now Joff :)

I just snagged one of two "Buy It Now"-Spielbox-magazines including "Die Katharer" for around 30 Euros on the German eBay... am I crazy? Anyway, there's another one left (though he's not listing to ship internationally). Just search for "katharer spielbox" on eBay.de ...

No, you are not nuts.  I paid about the same, though when I did it the USD to Euro was a lot worse then it is now so I ended up paying a lot US.  It is not like the tiles are going to be getting cheaper, the demand will only rise as the supply dwindles.

Hopefully Spielbox will do a reprint sometime soon, when the demand gets so high that the price is ripe for Spielbox to make a killing :)

already asked this months ago ... no reprint planned and rather unrealistic ...

Can't see a reprint of the cathars at all. No point any longer as the Seige is the same thing.
