Hey, I was just browsing eBay and came across this:

OK, that looks like 5 sheets of the 1 euro tiles from HiG.  I'm surprised that they've advertised it as a RGG product...

The seller is based in the US so dont believe his posting costs.

Maybe the seller is smart enough to realize that there are more Amerikaners shopping on eBay and he can probably get a better price for this item from an Amerikaner and probably at least half of the Amerikaners playing Carcassonne have NOT read the box enough to even know the difference between Hans im Gluk (HiG) and Rio Grande Games (RGG) ...and the true enthusiasts would fully comprehend this faux pas and not care.

Looks like they're at it again. The seller says its the last they got, so I'm guessing it's legitimate. Sounds like they got a different batch this time too: all of them have a starting tile instead of three of them like last time.
