Who Paid Full Price $99.00 for AA50?

[Guest]

@Constantinople:

Is there any reason one has to pay $100.00; let’s don’t call this a

$100.00 game.

Ok, but then we can’t call any other boardgame a $__ game, either.  Boardgames are almost always sold below the MSRP.  Tide of Iron, for example, is $80 dollars last time I checked.  I could find it for $55 online.  It’s still an $80 game though, those sites will put the price as “$55 (You save $25!)” or something, for selling it under the MSRP.

It’s good to refer based on MSRP as that keeps everything in proportion… if you started referring to AA50 as a $70 game because you bought it online, that would make an $80 like Tide of Iron sound more expensive than AA50, when in reality it is on average sold 20 bucks cheaper or so.  Why not, then, simply refer to all games as what you paid for them?  Well, there is no way to determine an “actual” price… stores usually sell at MSRP, the internet usually sells cheaper but with shipping, and even if you find a cheap no shipping site, not everyone can buy from one site (limited supply).  The MSRP is a solid way to establish how much you are paying for the game… if you are going to your local game store, expect to pay it.  If you are ordering online, expect a good 30% off, with possible shipping.

FLGS?  What’s does this stand for?

Wise words Rakeman.

FLGS = Friendly Local Gaming Shop or sometimes Friendly Little Gaming Shop

None of you had to have it shipped to Norway. 80$ for the game, 50$ for the shipping and an additional 35$ in shipping. Anyone paid more than that?

sniff-sniff  Do you smell that?  sniff    …It smells like someone got burned…ouch :-o

Hurrah, finally we got it on Monday in Holland too. We should have bought it at the local shops, but we pre-ordered in September at coolstuff already. Delivery took two weeks in the end (althought those f****s at Coolstuff said they shipped it at the 17th November, it was in fact done on the 25th).

We paid $ 69.95 + freight around $ 40.00. With the current dollar/euro rate that was about 76 euro. Which is still cheaper than they are priced over here in the shops: 90 - 100 euro’s.

Oh yeah, funny thing all the piececounts were correct apart from the USA we have +1 cruiser and -1 destroyer.  :wink:

The worst is that this translates to roughly 970 NOK. Should i have bought it here it would have costed me 1000 NOK. I had to have the game though :)

I agree Silent…I had to have the game whatever the cost! :wink:

Paid $100  at Field Marshall because I wanted the dice.

[a44bigdog]

We paid $68.50 due to “cosmetic” damage. There was slight wrinkle in one corner of the sticker on the box.  :-D

[madquest8]
