u should take into account that a lot of regular users don't really play acnl anymore. another factor for the immense devalue-ing of ac items is the removal of welcome bells- it's largely newer members who still do ac trades and it's impossible to ask for like 400 tbt for a rare furniture set (what I paid for a zodiac set, back in the day lol) now that they don't get any spending cash for joining.

That's a bit of a stretch. plenty of older members still play ACNL.

What's a stretch? I still play it myself, but it's almost three years old now, a decrease in item value is kind of expected.

Revolutionary ideas. But I'm not signing.

Yes, but there's too much decrease for anyone to profit anymore. That's why ACNL items aren't even being sold in the TBT marketplace anymore: only those who hack can make any profit.

Plus, it isn't being devalued because it's old: It's lost it's value from hackers manufacturing mass amounts of rares and selling them.

what about artists? This is about ACNL items, not the prices of anything else on the site.

I'm cool with that.

TBH I don't even play a ton of ACNL Simply because I can't finish my dream town but I still think the rates are insane.

Great thinking here! This was actually a part of why we removed the welcome bells. Originally they were meant to be spent primarily on items in the Shop where the bells go back to the forum but after New Leaf, they ended up mostly going to making the few who ran the popular AC item shops incredibly rich since newer users didn't understand their real value and would gladly hand over hundreds for nothing. Not to mention a lot of these shops were also cheating to obtain the items.

Sign me up!

I wish someone would do the same for villagers! Sigh...don't get me started on that!

 

[Pandoria]

Editing because I don't want to cause any conflict ;u;
Although I think every individual has a right to set their own prices

 

[Stil]

All the ppl signing, I will gladly buy all your tbt at 1:25,000 then lol

Too bad I'm not buying IGBs...

 

[himeki]

well if tbt becomes easier and cheaper to gain then tbt loses value for artists and artists will have to charge more tbt for their work

 

[ktn]

Dang, didn't know about this. I'll sign.

 

[Aronthaer]

I'm sorry for saying this but whom are you to decide what people do and do not buy?
You may have a PSA, but that does not mean everyone will automatically accept what you're saying-
There are always going to be people against, and there will always be people selling for lower prices.
That's business, at the end of the day.

Yes, but illegitimate businesses should be stopped, correct? Items sold here are meant to be only items that you've earned legitimately through playing the game. Unorderable sets take days to put together and the only people who will be selling them for that price are hackers.

One rotten apple spoils the bunch: as long as there's one person selling hacked goods, no one else can make a profit.

Of course however there are so many "rotten apples" in circulation now how are we to know which are and are not legitimate? Surely you cannot go around accusing members of illegitimately getting their items if you do not know for a fact they have.

Well said! Justin even chimed in in *loosely* agreement!

People can sell at whatever price they want to. I have un-orderable stuff I got when I was playing years ago while it was getting distributed for, guess what, free. I can give them away for free, sell them for 1 BTB (Bell tree bells, TBT is the website). All my items are real, doesn't mean I need to charge a ridiculous amount of a technically worthless (since you can't use BTB for real money trades, which is smart) currency.
