idk if i'm just getting older but i rly prefer a slower more 1:1 community than something like nookazon. i totally get it's purpose, and that the trade off is the more chill & friendly vibe of a place like TBT. it definitely isn't how i like to enjoy animal crossing or online play. i'm glad spaces like TBT exist!
anyone else starting to hate nookazon

I only buy things if I'm having trouble finding it on here, same goes for listing, if no one on here is willing to buy it I just ask for offers and take whatever one comes first xD
Haven't had a bad transaction although I state to not message me on discord without offering on Nookazon first and someone still did it and when I kindly asked they make an offer on Nookazon they said they didn't have an account and then got mad at me and said my "service" is bad and blocked me xD

I tried to use Nookazon once and it ended so disastrously lmao. Couldn't even buy the one simple thing I was looking for (just some basic crafting stuff). I thought it would just be a bit faster than here since the forums can get a bit crazy sometimes, but nope. Totally wasn't worth it. Kind of like the wild west on there pffft.
I've used Nookazon like.. twice. It was a really poor experience. Sometimes it was difficult to figure out what it was the seller wanted in return. Once I offered exactly what the seller listed - they denied my offer and immediately relisted the same item for a higher price. I don't want to bid on something that already feels overpriced.. it adds stress to what should be a relaxing game

i've used it a couple of times to get specific items i wanted and had a good experience, but i heard that there's a lot of scammers there so i'm really wary and careful every time i use it.
I just got a heart attack because someone gave me the wrong color item
turns out the gods blessed me and it's customizable

I only started using Nookazon recently since activity here has slowed down. It's not that bad there anymore from my experience so far. Yes, it's usually just a quick and go transactions, but I've run to one or two people there that were pretty kind and generous, giving me a bonus or letting me shop. Though, even activity there has slowed down from what I've heard. It's likely that most of the scammers and really shady folks moved on to other games. I've been able to do honest catalog trades there and none of my stuff has been stolen yet. It's just a matter of ignoring the very unreasonable prices and those with bad reviews. If someone tells me my offer is too low I just offer to someone else, it's their loss.
I'd still stick to here for things like Celeste, watering, shopping, etc. I prefer to interact with the community when it's visiting and helping others. Nookazon feels too hollow and distant for things like that.

I have used the Nookazon discord dozens and dozens of times for trades. I use it when I want something fast or want something gone fast. I actually like the community, but it's usually very much an in-and-out kind of thing. And yes, the prices can be insane. Any cherry-blossom recipe, mush lamps, or the bonsai shelf can sell for upwards of 30-60 NMTs. I bought 2 mush lamps for 3 NMTs each and I thought it was a pretty nice deal lol.
If you trade on there: FENCE OFF YOUR ISLAND!!!! This is such a huge deal. Fence off an area in front of your airport. Get a stall customized with a trading post sign and put it right outside. This will get rid of 99.9% of griefers. There have been multiple times where I trade and then afterwards, the other player sprints towards my stores/flowers only to realize that they are fenced off.
Make sure you have your game open if you trade. Don't wait too long to open your gates or ask people to hold stuff for you. If someone is providing something for free like Saharah, tip them 1-2 NMTs or something else. It's just the polite thing to do.
I wouldn't be scared to trade on there as long as you fence off your island and know about airplane mode. Also, keep in mind that there's a ton of little kids and teenagers on there too. I used to use the acnh-discussion a lot, but then I realized that most of the people on there are just 14 year olds who start drama. TBT is much better.

If anyone's looking for a different site I highly prefer villagerdb to nookazon.

Weird, I never had a bad transaction there and while some are greedy there are at least fair people there... I've met some nice people there, few of them even gave me some extra nmts... guess I got lucky with the people I've made transactions with there.

I really wish the game included some type of trade by mail system, that way if things are slow or you can't meet up right then or you miss a notification, you can still trade. I much prefer this site, but it can be difficult to coincide and wait times can be long.

I know that would be kinda unprecedented to see in an AC game, but a trading booth would be nice or even trading by mail like you said. I just wish I could at least store my 32984902 DIYs :/
I think I have made three offers for items on Nookazon. One of them was someone who clearly had little understanding of the game or website (and was probably quite young) and so, went nowhere. The other two offers never got a response. Thus ended my interest in Nookazon. I've been able to get everything I'm after either here or on individual discord servers (Twitch streamers, Tortimers, etc).

I deleted my account because whenever I made an offer, people wouldn't look at it for days. People are overcharging massively for everything there
I've got zero complaints about Nookazon. I don't go there looking to bag a steal, I go there looking for an item I really want. If a seller accepts my offer, then I got the item for what I was willing to pay. If they don't, so be it. As a seller, I've made bells hand over fist on fishing tourney items. I always click the "Accepting Offers" button, and each time an offer was made and accepted, the trade was fulfilled without issue.

Bold of you to assume I liked it initially.
But yeah, I echo other people’s statements that it’s a hit or miss with the site and I also am not a big fan of having to use another platform to complete a transaction. I had no desire to use the site after seeing the price ranges and a video tutorial about the process by a YTer.
With sites like here and Reddit, I have the PM option so I don’t have to switch between platforms or apps just to trade. The rating system here also suits my preferences. I’ve seen ratings on Nookazon that give five stars or one star but no short sentence explanation. I like to read reviews alongside star ratings. I guess it mirrors Amazon in that sense too. . .
