After about 30 minutes of searching and 4 phone calls, I was able to purchase 6 copies of the Hundred Years' War expansions. Sure, the big name online retailers may be sold out. However, some of the small brick and mortar outlets still have them in stock. You just have to look to find them.

Im just getting into the game and would like a copy. Could you possibly e-mail me the # or adress @ rapatpamp@hotmail.com? Appreciate very much

Sorry, I bought every copy I could find. However, I have not yet received them.

You bought every copy you could find? What sort of mark up are you putting on these things?

Dude, what are you going to do with 6 copies of Hundred Years War?  I assume you don't plan on playing with all of them.  If you plan on selling them to forum members at retail plus shipping, kudos to you and put me on the list.  On the other hand, if you plan on marking them up dramatically to capitalize on their scarcity (which you just helped create), that's just wrong.  Let your conscience be your guide...

Sell them, of course.

Marximus said:

You mean sell them to people that have spent more time complaining about the rarity of the expansion and imploring FFG for a reprint than actually looking for the expansion?

I would like to have a copy of Axis & Allies: Anniversary Edition or Betrayal at House on the Hill, or the 1999 Hasbro version of Acquire or any of the expansions for the original Robo Rally. Unfortunately, no one is going to sell me any of the for anything near their retail price. That's not wrong, that's just capitalism. And they were scarce long before I bought these. Therefore, I plan on capitalizing on the Hundred Years' War and selling them for $99.99.

Actually, I really picked them up because I knew a lot of people on the board here and on BGG were looking for them. Unfortunately, I didn't even get some of them for retail and a couple required international shipping. Once they have arrived and I have calculated and average cost plus tax and shipping (around $41 I think), I plan on selling four copies with a modest markup of $2 or $3 to cover my time and effort. Finally, I will be keeping two copies for future trades.

Unfortunately, with such a high demand, I haven't decided on how to sell them. Any other suggestions?

biomage said:

Nothing wrong with that and I refer to my earlier comment and give you "kudos."    Not so that you will sell one of the copies to me - actually, you inspired me to do some more thorough searching - but because I think your stated intent is reasonable.  Capitalism if fine  - hoarding and price gouging - not so much.           

Sorry if I came across as overly judgmental.  My apologies.

Not at all. Apologies not necessary.

Check out the sites below. Both list 100 Years' War but I didn't order them because price including shipping was too high.

Also, here's how I usually do it. I often try game stores without websites. Most places will still ship games if you request it. It does require a is a little more effort finding them, which is why they still have older games in stock. I suggest picking a city and searching for game stores. Get their phone number and give them a call. Most place will tell you that they don't have any Hundred Years' War expansion in stock, but they can order it from their distributor. Unfortunately, that is a mistake on their part. If it isn't in the store, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to get it.

I have been able to find pretty good things using this method. A couple of month ago, I got an Axis & Allies: Anniversary Edition ($89) and six circuits sets for Formula De ($10 each). It works for me. I hope it works for you. Good luck.

If anyone is still looking for  Hundred Years' War, let me know.

I bought mine at a local game shop where I buy all my games. I only buy online as a last resort if I can't find a rare game, like space hulk.

I only need 2 or 3 more expansions and I have them all.

though I am looking to get 2 copies of some of the expansions.

You rule man . I just found your copies on E-bay and got 1 tyvm

If anyone is interested in Hundred Years' War, contact me directly. Don't buy it from me on eBay. Prices on eBay are inflated to cover listing, sale, and Paypal fees.

I agree with the Sundance Kid and support my local gaming store whenever I can - shout out to the Green Dragon in Charlseton, SC.  But, in this case, neither the Dragon nor any store within 100 miles (I guess that's still "local") has the Hundred Years War Expansion.  On the other hand, the Dragon did have a copy of Space Hulk as of Sunday...

Now I find out!, but I checked my e-bay purchase and I definitely got mine from you. Thanks. (And I didn't even mind paying the e-bay price, BTW.)

If it makes you feel better, I paid extra to have it shipped priority. You should have it by the weekend.
