Beetle Catching Help!

[Amykins]

you just post your prices to the spreadsheet
and when you find someone with a high price you PM them and ask them to come and sell your turnips.

Meh, never seemed worth it to me. The most I ever made on a batch of turnips was about 1.5 mil, which I can make in a couple of days of beetle farming. The risk just isn't worth it to me.

I feel the same way. Not to mention having to talk to the monkey at the station who initiates your internet connection and looks to see if the other party has their gate open. Then the wait for the train to arrive, which can also take longer than I would expect. Then there's the chance that you can't connect and you have to start the travelling process all over again. If you're lucky and get to the other village, you'll go about your business and be stopped every five seconds as another train arrives with another passenger and you can't do anything until you watch the animation as each guest arrives into the station individually and the game saves each time, delaying things more. And this is all best case scenario--in the few times I've interacted online, I find getting completely disconnected (getting the Resetti screen) and having to start the process all over again is quite common. What should be a quick fun interaction and transaction becomes frustrating and time consuming in my experience.

Beetle harvesting may be time consuming, too, but you don't have to worry about getting "Resetti'd" in the middle of it and you can spend all of the time actually catching beetles rather than waiting for trains to come and go while your character is frozen.

If you have the patience, you can make a fortune selling turnips if the price is right.

Who cares if you can catch beetles while waiting for the train, we are talking a few seconds here, or maybe a minute or two if the other person lives far away, if you buy a ton of turnips you can easily make 5 Millions, as long as you have the money to spend on turnips, and you can still catch beetles, it?s not like you can?t catch beetles just because you bough turnips, I just personally don?t do it because I don?t need that much money.
