anyone else starting to hate nookazon

[natakazam]

hellsite imo. i was selling some rusted parts on their discord and this girl messaged me asking what i wanted, and i told her i was looking for NMT. she told me “it just makes a robot, i just bought two for 3,000 bells but okay” i didn’t respond and then she proceeded to blow up my DM’s for another hour lmfao

I use it to sell my spare DIYs because I consistently price them at 1 NMT, which makes them sell pretty quickly. I also use it if I need to find a specific item or recipe, but I've gotten pretty much everything I've wanted for now (I would kill for the autumn stuff but I want to wait until autumn on my island to get them) so I don't really use Nookazon all that much anymore. That being said, I think it's pretty solid but I've also had very positive experiences with it so my opinion could be biased due to my luck.

I've used Nookazon several times. I really haven't had much problems with it, most probably because the people I had transactions with are also nice.

I managed to complete my flower crowns and wreath DIYs from there. I also managed to get all Celeste DIYs thanks to free/1x NMT Celeste visits I get daily.

I do agree that so many people in there ask for unreasonable prices though, especially for in-demand villagers, rare furniture and turnips. I guess I'm just lucky to have met good people in there.

I definitely agree. Over there people will post stuff for free but then you put in an offer for free and they won’t accept? Like you listed the item as free but you’re gonna wait until someone offers you bells or NMT? Then just ask for those in the first place! Also I feel like they don’t check on their listings as much as over here, so I’ll make an offer and never hear back. And they’ll be like “make an offer” so I do and then they deny it. So just put what you want to be offered then! 0/10 do not recommend

I've never really used the website itself, just their discord. For their discord I've only ever sold villagers on there, and done some cataloging trades. My experience has been mostly good, with only one bad apple. A lot of the times people are VERY happy to have someone trustworthy to buy a villager from, as it seems there are/were a lot of scammers there. Looking through the website and their average pricing.. it's like... wow.

 

[Enxssi]

At first I thought, “Oh, come on, the prices can’t be that crazy! I’m sure people are just a bit mad that it’s a few thousand bells overpriced!”
Then I saw the price for a document stack DIY.
A document stack.

I've used nookazon and its discord for many trades over the past few months and while the community there is certainly not comparable to the one here, it has been great for getting an item or DIY I am looking for very quickly. It is definitely more of a service than a place to chat beyond exchanging simple pleasantries when communicating for the trade, and I think it does it well – but of course not without some faults. Prices can be quite high but, just like in real life shopping, I look for the better deals with reputable sellers. And I've had my fair share of offers that I thought were reasonable being turned down and some sloppy trades but overall it's been alright and I'll continue to use it.
However, I am 200% more comfortable trading on TBT and almost never have to worry about being scammed or getting ripped off

 

[Kirbyz]

heard it's a monstrosity of a site, most people (not all, most) there are either greedy, rude, or thieves. they only place RIDICULOUSLY high prices for items worth hardly anything. legit as people said above, it can straight up be a 500 bell item and they'll sell it for like a million bells

i don't know why such a site became popular when NH released when TBT has been out for so long and the community is 100x more trustworthy, kind, and generous.

i have never used nookazon, and after reading reviews and watching yt vids on it im staying as far away from that black market as possible.

 

[YueClemes]

In case anybody wants a visual representation of Nookazon: This user wants the listed items in EXCHANGE for doing basic tasks

wow this is crazy LOL

i'm using nookexchange for trading diy only lol

 

[CodyMKW]

nook.market is way better and has much nicer people

 

[Calysis]

Honestly, I haven't came across anyone that has been rude or asked for an insane amount for the items I was looking for on that site. Granted, I was looking for items you can find in Nook's Cranny (cute sky-blue lamp, blue menu chalkboard, brown antique furniture, etc), and I've only completed about five total trades.

I'm sure it all depends on what you're trying to buy/sell. I wouldn't dare try to trade villagers or buy/sell high-priced merchandise on Nookazon. I only use that site to either exchange/buy DIYs or to buy exclusive colors of furniture from Nook's Cranny that I don't have.

 

[Balverine]

I was tryna get a retro gas pump from someone, but they kept rejecting super high offers lol
not sure what they were hoping for, but a gas pump isn't worth what they were asking

 

[nintendoanna]

yeah i don’t like it at all ;; prices are sooo high and there’s just like a disconnect to trades on there it’s just so odd

 

[meela]

I've used Nookazon so much, I have well over 50 trades and I've only had one bad experience. I feel like everyone I have traded with was super kind. The one bad experience I had was someone else taking my NMT and then leaving the island, but the host offered the item for free regardless.

I like it. It helps me get exactly what I want.

 

[Rei.from.Pulau]

Funnily enough ive never had a bad experience on nookazon but i do have one here and its the reason i wont do events anymore. Ive only done a few but yeah. Pretty sure i use nookazon or their discord more than i use this site. Nookazon is definitely very expensive sometimes but sometimes its just the most convenient. I used it mostly to sell flowers and villagers for free, or find something specific. When i do trade i always do wishlist cause of how expensive things are. Any site really is gonna have its ups and downs it just depends on the people using it

 

[RedRum2514]

Never liked it, took one look at the community and the insane asking prices and put me off it for good. I just don't trust it, I much prefer this website because people here are kind and fair, and I've really never had a bad experience on here.

 

[toyfantv]

Yea, Nookazon prices seems to be randomly high for items, not sure what is the basis of their pricing.

 

[Eureka]

I'm surprised by all the hate towards Nookazon and the people who use it. I've used it quite a few times to buy and sell. I'm part of the Discord as well. Have only met super nice people! I'm pretty careful and picky with who I buy from though. Of course you will get people who ask ridiculous prices but I just don't pay them any mind, haha. I've found plenty of fair prices on items that are difficult to come by!

 

[fluttershy300]

I never used Nookazon before but I did take a look at how it was. A Raymond was for free there so I guess some people are capable of being generous on that site but from what I saw and from other people’s experience, that doesn’t happen often. Only reason I haven’t used it yet because it’s very huge compared to TBT. It’s like a ocean and you never know what sharks are gonna try to eat you up. TBT feels a lot safer like a pool or something. Idk ignore my comparisons. lol

 

[deleted]

TBT is the only site I trust. I don’t do trades with anyone who uses outside sites. The greed here can get a little out of hand sometimes but the other AC trading sites seem to have it worse.
