Any Tips for Turnips?

[Corduroy]

This upcoming Sunday I am going to buy some turnips for the very first time in all my years of owning Animal Crossing games. But I know it's like, super duper risky so I don't want to screw up. I have a few questions, but I want to hear any tips you have as well!

questions..
1. How many should I buy?
2. What should my limit price of buying be? (Like, should I only buy if the price is under 105, etc.?)
3. What should my limit price of selling be? (above^)
4. For those of you that have lost money on turnips, how many bells did you lose?
5. What is the most money you have made on turnips in a single week? How many turnips did you buy?

Sorry for all the questions x3

You should always buy as much as you can possibly hold.
Never buy if they are above 102, that is way too expensive
Never sell them if the price is under 300
I have never lost money
I have made over 20 million in one week. And I have four characters, each had their closet filled with turnips, their house filled with turnips and their pockets filled turnips.

If you are depending on only selling them in your own town that is when it is risky IMO
If you can wifi with others there is always someone with a high price on the forums (at least I have been lucky so far)
I started out slow and now I buy as much as I can...and sell at 500+ to maximize how much I make...either way if you sell them even 1 bell higher you aren't LOSING anything.
But I find my town always buys LOW so if you can't go to another town via wifi I would not buy a lot.

Basically, if you have wifi, turnips are easy-mode money. There is no risk at all (Unless your house catches on fire and you don't have wifi for a whole week because your car broke down and you can't get to the library/public wifi and you have no friends )

1. How many should I buy?
A whole closet full + filled inventory. Feel free to get more characters and fill them up, too. If you want, you can try to make a game to fill up every single space possible in your town, all of your houses, and your museum.
Ok, but seriously... Basically, just buy whatever you don't mind selling lol. It can kinda be mind-numbingly boring to buy and sell a lot of turnips, so just buy whatever you can endure lol

2. What should my limit price of buying be? (Like, should I only buy if the price is under 105, etc.?)
I really don't think a limit matters You're going to 100% make a profit, so go crazy. I guess you'll earn money at a slower rate if the price is like over 150 or something, but it's still not a bad idea to still buy. If your prices somehow go over 500, then I guess that's when you shouldn't buy

3. What should my limit price of selling be? (above^)
Usually over 300. You can easily find people with 500+, though.

4. For those of you that have lost money on turnips, how many bells did you lose?
Lol I lost like 100k because I was lazy and didn't sell all of my turnips. But I made 9 million, so I don't think it mattered
I've also lost 40k another time, but I made 4 million. The losses are pretty neglible, and you only get losses if you're lazy xD

5. What is the most money you have made on turnips in a single week? How many turnips did you buy?
9 million. I bought 2/3 closet worth + inventory, however many that is. I can tell you it was boring selling it :/

---
TL;DR
Buy all you want, sell them all (500+ turnip prices are best), always make money.

1. As much inventory space as you have + if you have the museum gift shop you can put some up there.
2. I usually buy if they are under 95, if they are over that I go to someone elses town but really because you will make so much money it doesn't really matter.
3. I usually sell 400+ but you can get people 500+
4. I have never lost money on turnips.
5. I bought 2 million bells worth and made 8 million.

[Alright]

I made 30mil doing three trips of full closets from my friend's town (buying at 583ea) to mine (selling at 98ea).
Turnips are the easiest money in the game.
