This is my trade shop for Animal Crossing: City Folk. I did this is the last two ACs and it went well, so I'm hoping it will go well again. This helps everyone speed up their catalog completion and just get new stuff you want (if it's available). Since this site doesn't have a chat and it would be MUCH easier to have it, AND because The Bell Tree isn't the only place that's getting word of my Trade Shop, I've made a page just for it. Suggestions are welcome, but I think I've got everything I need on it. I will be doing trading hours in the Xat on that page, so just go to the page and it will be at the bottom. Also, the reason I use Xat is because it's the simplest and easiest thing I've found insofar. If you have something better, send me a PM or an Email. Remember, I don't want anything that requires people to sign up (well except me, since I'd have to sign up for it to get the chat of course).

The way this works is:

1) You request an item from the list
2) You put up an item for trade for it
3) Come to this page and join the Xat at the bottom of the shop's page during trading hours
4) Come to my town and trade the items
5) Enjoy. Seriously, should this be a step?

Rules: (Cuz I know that if I don't, someone's gonna try to pull this crap)
- Every Tuesday and Friday I will refresh the shop. Any item that has not been traded since the last refresh day will be replaced by another item (random item, whatever Nook is selling for me)
- No trading the items that everyone starts with (like the cardboard box or the stone tile)
- To my knowledge, you can't trade fish/bugs, so don't bother unless you actually can
- No stealing or screwing with my town. To regulate this, I will have a marked path to an area where the trading will commence. If you do anything to my town without my permission OR you attempt to steal and run, just remember that the off button is right on the controller now.
- Post your item request in this topic WITH your friend code (include the friend code to ensure that nobody gets on before you claiming to be you)
- PLEASE change your name in the Xat to your alias if you haven't used Xat before. The default names are annoying and I need to know who is who. To change it, click your name and type in a new one in the "Name" box.
- You CAN be in the Xat during trade hours and simply request and make a trade immediately for items that aren't reserved and are in my possession. (Can't trade what I don't have)
- Once you post your request, you have one week to make your trade. After this time, your trade will be revoked and you will be added to the list of Idles (also on the right). If you are on the Idles list, you will not be allowed to reserve a trade and MUST trade by doing what the above rule states. You will be taken off the Idles one week after you are added (the date you get removed will be posted with your name)

I will try to keep updated lists on the right of the current items in the shop and all trades that have been declared (but not necessarily completed). If an item is reserved and I know what I'm getting in return, I'll put that item on the list in place of the reserved one. Realize though that if the person who's trading me your reservation and they get added to the Idles, you won't be getting your item. Donations are gladly accepted as it expands the shop.

<big>Next trading hours: Wednesday, Nov 26 from 7pm to 9pm Eastern. I will be taking a short break during this time for dinner.</big>
 
I would love to use this once I get the game...should be from the end of this week to mid next week. (bought it online yesterday)
 
Sorry it took a while, I had a bad start >_<

Darzaire's ACCF Trade Shop is now open for business!........as soon as WiFi starts working again. >.>
 
Where is everyone? I'd imagine people would trade for new stuff. Catalog completion and you get something you might want.
 
My apologies to people who have requested items or went to the page Saturday night. I wasn't able to get on ACCF and couldn't during the next day. Those who have requested items will have their deadline until being idle extended a week. My next trading hours may be in the next few days, likely Tuesday night. I'm sorry for the crappiness and it's partly my fault, but this HOPEFULLY won't happen again.
 
Updated trading hours, this will happen if I can possibly make it, which is very likely.

Tomorrow night, which is Wednesday (day before thanksgiving). See you in Xat.
 
Well, nobody showed up and nobody is requesting anything. So, this is clearly not working.

So, you guys tell me: what needs to change? How can I make this better for you?
 
I see. Single trades and lists do well, but "businesses" like this are doomed to fail. I suppose that's how this game works. If nobody has any idea or interest for this, then I'll just close this I guess.

For those who still need a trade done, I'll gladly go through with it if you can catch me online. I'm always on AIM and xFire if you have either of them. My name on AIM is Darzaire and my name on xFire is crazystikfigure
 
A triforce, an arwing, a master sword, a halo, and ninja sword for the cannon?

I got bored with reading so I posted this, I can't use xat.
