If only there was a metasearch engine for it (hint hint :P)
In particular looking for Settlers of Catan and its expansions

board games are expensive… that metasearch engines would be great.
I would look at ebay (including US and Canada) as some bargains come up every now and then especially for settlers.
and personally I have found my best board games bargains at charity shops and garage sales.I'm pretty certain Games Empire (gamesempire.com.au) in Castle Hill is the cheapest place in Sydney for Euro style board games, especially if you're able to go pick up.
Book Depository also sell a small selection of board games at decent prices.
They're the cheapest I've found in Sydney - but still not very cheap…
Their prices are pretty decent compared to ordering from the US. Shipping from the US kills any savings you might get on the games themselves.
thanks for that, at least it gives an aus option :)
The cheapest place is the US by far - we have a friend who orders 1k worth of games at a time and ships them over for weekly games nights - it's awesome.
If you buy a couple at once the combined postage costs are worth it :)
Agreed, US cheapest by far if you can make the shipping work.
Btw, let me know the next time your friend orders, happy to combine orders and split shipping!
thanks for that. too bad it doesn't sort by prices though :(
Which state do you live in?
