Beating the Stalk Market

[BlackBloodWizard]

Sorry if something like this already exists and I missed it ^^

I sadly, didn't get to actually start playing AC:NL until well after Joan had already left last Sunday, but I've been playing with friends online and thought with the best friend feature, its really easy to trade Turnip prices back and fourth and then it hit me, we can do this BIGGER. How about a bunch of players got together and figured out who had the best buying price? or if you missed Joan, there's always a player who lives in a different timezone. and of course bell prices, and retail super sale items! we can connect and get the best possible prices. and sell for some pretty generous bells! why not keep tabs on what events going on in what town, and exchange items for good luck charms? the sky's the limit with a closely connected group and up to the moment information! this makes me very excited!

Edit 1: We have since added a google doc spreadsheet to organize and exchange turnip prices, timezones and the like. as well as establish patterns. here it is

Edit 2: Here's a Turnip Guide that describes price patterns

Q-

Are the daily price changes different per region/nation/political affiliation, what?

Also, can visitors access Re-tail & make the sale?

 

[amerlene]

This would be good. I plan on playing the stalk market in NL. I never really paid attention to it in the past but with more people, I think it'll be more profitable. I was planning on using Letterbox to send the day's turnip prices to the friends I have anyway.

It's different for each town. There's 4 different patterns that bell prices can fall under, but each town will be on a different pattern each week and have different prices even within the same pattern.

And, yes, visitors can go to Re-tail.

 

[BlackBloodWizard]

yeah I noticed I had fabulous prices yesterday. and 'meh' today. ^^ well if nothing like that exists yet maybe someone with some bells can start a group to organize our plan of attack and keep everyone in the loop!

Thanks for the reply!

That'd be awesome!! If only we had some convenient method of having all the Turnip Prices in 1 easy to read chart....I could make one if everyone told me there Turnip prices twice a day we could make a sticky thread and I would update it twice a day...What do you guys think?

that seems like a huge commitment (especially considering the factors of differing timezone and the like) but if you're up for it I'd love that!

myturnip buying buying price is 97 bells

 

[kid_remix]

I will participate.

 

[Officer Berri]

Today I bought 600 turnips.

Let's see if my first foray into the stalk market of animal crossing goes well.

 

[Mr. L]

No offense, but this is common sense.

I bought 500,000 bells worth of turnips at 98 bells per turnip

None taken, I'm not pretending I'm a visionary, I'm saying lets fulfil a very real need, and as gamers and AC fans, use the tools at our disposal.

Lots of people do this already and its a very cool idea

oh? I've never seen anyone put this sort of thing into practice on these forums, but then again I'm new. ^^

I have a idea on how to create a easy way of trading information. Someone could create a google docs spreadsheet that's editable by anyone with a link. You can put down your current days turnip price, time zone and your friend code information. This way you can also document previous days turnip prices to establish a pattern.

I don't mind setting this up if people don't have a problem with it.

that doesn't sound half bad ^^

 

[CharityDiary]

I made this spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhnD2b91gsHydDMteV9OVnlOb1BBMkJqeWNDUlJTSkE&usp=sharing

Everyone should be able to edit it. Simply add in your information, bookmark the page, and check back frequently.

Pass it around, if you want.

=)

That spreadsheet is a brilliant idea!
