Their horrible low prices for worthless items with a worthless currency. None of the stuff has value. The prices shouldn't matter at all. Charge what you like, people will only pay what they want. This is how a competitive market naturalizes itself. If you set the price, there is no market, there is no competition. What is the point then? You may as well issue item tickets out so people can redeem them from the first shop they see on the forums.

Threads in this board should only be bumped once every four or more hours. Animal Crossing trading belongs in Nook's Cranny and other boards located here, even when using TBT Bells.
Changing the way we use TBT! MASSIVE CHANGE TO MARKETPLACE, NEW PRICING GUIDE!

Unfortunately, as long as there are people selling at low prices, people will buy from them. Also, isn't the lack of item trading in the TBT marketplace because trading has been moved to Retail?

If you don't collect TBT, fine. but it's far from worthless, people make TBT exchanges on here every day.
Once again, I'm not trying to set the price. I'm REsetting it back to a reasonable amount after the wave of hackers we had,
It's BTB though, bell tree bells. Yea, people trade for it. But they don't trade for real money. So how is it worth anything.

That's the point of my post. Everyone would rather buy unorderables at 5TBT than 50TBT, but the only reason the prices were 5 and not 50 was because hackers made massive profits off of cutting prices.
Also, Retail is only for IGB purchases, isn't it?
Nope, Re-tail is for both IGB and TBT!

Ah, I missed that part of the direct. thank you.
No need for thanks~

That's actually incorrect? Re-tail is for IGB only. The TBT Marketplace is where you make TBT payments for AC items, hence its name. I've seen a bunch of threads regarding tbt purchases which were moved to the Marketplace. Not only that, it says in the guidlines that "TBT purchases are to be made in the TBT Marketplace."

I do apologise, I was just going off of my own personal experience, and the fact there are a lot of TBT sales in Re-Tail. I honestly think it's mainly collectible//non in game things that are supposed to be in the TBT Marketplace, however!

Decent idea but it won't work. It's essentially an economy that works along competition based rate systems.
People will buy more of the cheapest items. There is no sound way to make people sell at a guide rate or make people buy at a guide rate.
Your ideas work in favor of TBT members who try to collect TBT and not animal crossing items, which is the opposite of what this website was intended for (selling and buying animal crossing items).
Tbt works along 2 different currencies which is why it will be almost impossible to keep a number. AC:NL bells are far easier to obtain than TBT bells so its hard to even compare the few without inflating/deflating the one or the other.
I don't want to sound rude, but you have been on this site for only a couple months, so I don't think you have much room to blame people for the inflation of the rates from IGB:TBT because I have read complaint threads from back in 2014 and 2013.
If you were to blame it on something, blame it on collectibles.
Even though I don't like to bring in villager trading rates, if you look at in context, you are asking people to pay nearly 1000-2000 tbt for T1 villagers like they did back in the day. But back in the day, as Zane mentioned, people had access to welcome bells which gave them an advantage. Villager trading is probably the biggest asset to the site and if you overwhelm new members with unachievable rates for furniture and villagers they will leave and we will lose all productivity that the site has worked towards.
Also, you want to make furniture and Bell rates higher, ex. 20+ TBT for a gold rose?
How would this help the idea of hackers gaining above everyone. By raising the rates, it'll actually attract more hackers again and put more bells in their wallets to take over the site. There is no sound way of stopping hackers so this will be an issue wether we like it or not.
But you really can't make a standard rate on generated items that get produced much faster than TBT.
Well you can try, but no one would respectfully follow it for more than a week, assuming the mods won't promote and make this a rule to follow - which I doubt they will.
This argument is 2 sided but it wouldn't realistically take effect. This will even out with a next full animal crossing game I'm sure tho

"In a TBT Direct last year we mentioned reorganizing the trading boards to group all Animal Crossing transactions together. This change will start taking effect now and go even further to organize the trading boards by category instead of by currency. The Museum Shop will also be moved under the Museum to keep all art threads together. To summarize the Animal Crossing changes, all item trading should now take place in Re-Tail and all villager trading should take place in the Villager Trading Plaza regardless of currency. The TBT Marketplace will continue to be used for collectible and miscellaneous trading with TBT bells."
Here's the info from recent Direct

"You may use forum bells with your item and villager exchanges, but all threads for such transactions should be made in TBT Marketplace." I don't think so?

Actually it does not. Only 5 -10 minutes of you're slow.
From what I saw, after more than a year spent here, what really made the rate that high is collectibles, pet smoothies (or whatever they call it) and stuff like that. I could also gave the name of the persons who really really wanted those collectibles last year and started buying TBT from other users at 8-10 mil for 100 TBT, (I know I sold mine) before those guys started buying all TBT available, 100 TBT still worth 3-5 mil. Later one user profited of this and asked 20 mil for 100 TBT and found buyers!!!...So I think it's how it's started, merchants were forced to lower their prices because of that rate.
If there are less stores, it's also because a lot of persons stopped playing ACNL when Home Designer came out. I also had a store where I was selling for bells, and it was the same, people want to pay "raisonnable prices" (meaning almost nothing) even if it means that the person selling had to play several hours to get the items. I prefer now selling my extra for low price or keeping them for trade, and even so I get stuck with the items for weeks...

It's a very interesting idea! I like how you, and a few others, are at least trying to get a handle on the inflation.
I have also gone round and round in my own head, once in a while, to understand how this mini-economy can be more equitable, especially to newbie's who never had access to some of the advantageous happenings early on in TBT history (i.e., the 100 TBT to 100,000 in-game bells exchange rate, the times when one unorderable item would cost 400 TBT, where one tier 1 villager could give them 2000 TBT, etc.) Unfortunately, I've never been able to come up with a good thought.
I'll sign. Even if this fails, at least we tried something, right?

Gotta agree with you there.
