anyone else starting to hate nookazon

I was very reluctant to use Nookazon at first but once I got started it has been pretty much smooth sailing for me.
Based on my experience so far all of my transactions have been positive for both selling and buying. It is so unfortunate that many of you had negative experiences.
I just tend to avoid the over priced stuff, aim for people with positive reviews, ensure to respond right away and price my things fairly reasonable.
 
I like Nookazon because of how easy and fast it is to do a trade, I've made like 50+ trades and haven't met a rude person yet *knock on wood* which is a plus. I think because I got lucky and/or I buy rather than sell, though the one time I put Shep up for adoption and didn't specify a certain amount of NMT the buyer offered a fair trade and even gave me extra as a tip. There are some outrageous prices but I just ignore them (I also ignore the "Free" ones because those are never free lol) and find ones I think are reasonable, sometimes I will be more generous with my offer so they would more likely pick my offer but that's fine it's not anything too unreasonable or else I wouldn't have offered it in the first place. I never offer bells or NMTs because a lot of people offer ridiculous amounts and to try to top them is not worth it, I usually offer items and DIYs from wishlists and most of my offers get accepted.

I mostly used it just to catalog what I had, never really to trade. I dunno, it feels like the people over here are more trustworthy and nice. Maybe because everyone's an acquaintance here, to some extent.
 
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 came across a person who listed something up for free and it was something I wanted, they agreed, they came over, then wouldn't drop the item. I messaged them asking what was wrong and they messaged back "my free listing isn't free, you have to give me an offer, I just set it to free to see what you can offer me in exchange." I was gonna tip them 20 star pieces for being nice but after that exchange I just plonked down a nmt and gave them a bad review for misleading me.

Wow, person must not know what free means. Tips aren't tips if they're mandatory. :v
 
I think I really don't like it because it's not really a community? Most of the people I've traded are pretty unfriendly and it seems like a sketchy blackmarket ngl lmao. I prefer places like here where everyone's a bit more close and friendly. You get to know people a lot more easier and you can recognise people on forums here and there.
 
I think there will be a few bad apples on whatever site you use. For example, I've had bad experiences on this site and most people haven't. Thankfully, I've had positive experiences on Nookazon and met some really nice people; probably because I read all their reviews before I trade them to guarantee it will be smooth sailing.
 
Wow, glad I read this thread! I never knew villagerdb had a trade section! Will check that out. I love this community, so I’m here 98% of the time. I have done a few transactions on nookazon, and they were all positive. But I’ve also had those moments of offering the asking price of an item and getting declined, waiting forever to see if your offer is accepted. It’s a good system if you’re patient or lucky to find what you’re willing to pay for an item.
 
I literally went on to check about these flimsy bets going for 4 million+ because I’d read someone’s post about it here.
Couldn’t believe they were really going for 4million +. I think that will be the extent of my usage.
 
I honestly would only recommend nookazon website for selling items. I recommend their discord if you are searching for something. If you want fast trades or faster communication, the TBT has a discord too for chat and trades. I have added people from here to my friend list to make exchanging items easier.
 
*cough* iron wood set is too over priced *cough* I had someone on here make it for free, I just gave materials!

That's so dumb! then they should just put the "make an offer" option, there's a reason it's there! I do use it to rehome not so popular villagers, especially since the adopt a villager board here sometimes is really slow... when I don't get answers on villagers on tbt I offer them for free over there and sometimes they get adopted. I listed Eugene, Scoot, and Deidre for free and the three of them got homes fairly quickly.

Honestly I've had pretty good experiences, and I know it can seem overwhelming at times- the fact that anyone can price their stuff for ridiculous amounts makes it a bit intimidating. But you can always look for the people who have fair prices or ask for wishlist items, and you get fair trades that way.
 
Closing this here because it would be in bad taste for us to allow a thread criticising another Animal Crossing site to remain open.
