Spielpreise
Ich habe eben die deutschen Spiele Siedler von Catan und Carcassonne bestellt. Zum Glück habe ich die Preise sowohl auf Amazon.co.uk wie auf Amazon.de untersucht – sie sind viel billiger in Deutschland! Ich habe zuerst gedacht, Spiele seien also viel teurer in Großbritannien, aber so ist es nicht:
| Spiel | Amazon.co.uk | Amazon.de | |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBP | EUR | EUR | |
| Siedler von Catan | 22,90 | 33,87 | 20,00 |
| Carcassonne | 14,99 | 22,17 | 10,99 |
| Monopoly | 11,17 | 16,52 | 24,99 |
| Scrabble | 13,74 | 20,32 | 29,99 |
Es scheint mir, dass deutsche Spiele in Deutschland billiger sind, und umgekehrt. Nur merkwürdig, dass die EU noch nicht zu größerem Preisausgleich geführt hat.
I noticed when Marcel bought the official Panini Fifa World Cup Sticker album this summer that it had the price on the back for about 10 different countries – 8 of which were in Euros but funnily enough the price ranged from 1 up to 2 Euros depending whether you were in France, Germany, Italy, Spain or whatever. It does shock more when it is in the same currency.
Yeah, I know what you mean. The Economist harmonised their prices across the Eurozone when the euro was introduced, but I think that was pretty much an exception.
Got the games today. I doubt I would have received them any faster if I had ordered them from Amazon.co.uk, so there’s really no reason not to buy certain games in Germany (except if one doesn’t read German).
