I've obtained TNT Emporium and went into Gracie's shop. Man, I only have 1 Million now! Can someone help me find out a better way to make money besides beetle hunting?
 
I'm in same boat. Everyone swears by turnips. Going to try it this week. Selling popular villagers a big hit. I don't care for that.
 
If you have a cycle town that you don't care for, you could deposit bells and time travel like 50 years to the future. XD
 
A lot of people sell turnips, but I can't bother with that. Selling villagers is also a way, or you could sell unwanted items on here. I've made most of my money selling items on here. It's still not a lot but it's more than I would have had otherwise. You could also sell hybrids if you have those.
 
I just blew 11,000 bells on a pair of sunglasses and a hairpin. Dang Gracie.

Seriously? Or am I falling for a joke!!!
 
Turnipssssss.

But if you're cool with TTing and preventing your villagers from moving often, you could try TTing to different holidays to gather the exclusive items and sets (like the Zodiac set) and then sell/auction them in the Retail thread.
 
Yeah, I would do these, but can't for the following reason
Turnips: I like to TT. At least 6 times a day.
TT 5 Years: I don't have an extra copy, and I have 2 dreamies I don't wanna lose.
Popular Villagers: I don't have any except the ones who are my dreamies.
Hybrids: I don't know a thing about gardening.
 
No, but I really swear by turnips now. I used to swear by island beetles, which are actually a pretty good way too, but turnips are way faster. Invest on a lot of turnips come Sunday, then go online and find someone whose town is buying for 400+. There will be someone within a week.

Villagers are also a good way to make money, but if you don't like TTing or don't have any popular villagers to sell then that's out.

Turnips! DEFINITELY!

I basically made 10 mil in a week from turnips! :3

Same. xD If you invest on a locker full of turnips, you can get that much in a week.

If you don't have that much money to invest on turnips yet, then catch beetles. 8U
 
Turnips *^*
If Re-Tail's prices are 500+, you're sure to make at least 2mil Bells+ in a week!

Ooh, and these don't gain a lot of Bells at once but...
- Fossils: Find them, and sell them. Around the 10-20k value
- Fruits: Depending on how many fruit trees you have around your town

- TBT: Sell stuff at Re-Tail (make sure prices are not out of the roof or you'll have no success), and the Villager Trading Plaza...just put up one of your popular villagers and if all goes well, Bells Bells Bells
 
I planted so many perfect orange trees and I sell them in my friend's town every day in orchestra and when I can't sell them in her town I do it on the forums, looking for premium... I've have 3 million in the bank right now, it's just time consuming with harvesting and re-planting so often.
 
I don`t understand whats wrong with beetlehunting, its a very easy way to get money, if you can`t sell turnips for whatever reason. I can`t sell turnips, cause I can`t enter other peoples towns outside of dreams.

THe only thing thats important while beetle hunting is to do it at night, when you`re not bothered with locus crap and those things. I also removed everything from the island except the palmtrees.

Anyways, if beetlehunting is not your thing, you can like others say collect rare items in the game and sell them on here, or there is always fishing.... But then again, since beetlehunting is a bigger source of money, faster and easier.... Why would you go fishing instead? If you TT a lot you could definetly give selling vilagers a shot. You must come across some nice ones.

Other suggestion could be buying/selling villagers from different sites to sell them later on to others for higher prices. If you TT a lot, you can get them to move out probably a lot faster, so that could work?
 
Sell your TBT bells. Someone is usually buying them for 500-600k bells per 100 TBT bells. It gave me my seed capital to buy more turnips and eventually pay most of one character's loan.

If you have two DS and more than one copy of Animal Crossing, the moment that one of your town hits a spike in turnip price you can essentially make yourself infinitely rich with enough time and effort. Buy turnips on one town, sell on the other town, buy more bells with the money you make and sell them all over again.

There's nothing wrong with it, but it's just not nearly as good as the best money making methods out there. You also have to add in to the equation of how much more time your spending with beetle hunting and how enormously tedious it is. If for whatever reason (I honestly can't think of one tho) you can't do turnips/perfect fruit then I guess that would be the next best thing. It's just such a drop though that's its hard to recommend unless you have no other alternative.

Turnips are an absolute waste of time. Most I've ever made from them is nothing more than like a 300k profit. Not to mention that you are locked into not being able to TT, and wasting valuable locker space. Stick to TBT Bell conversions and Re-Tail board. The former can net me 1.35m over a weekend after being converted to ACNL bells. The latter, I can say is the number one way I got my bells.

However, if someone has a good price on a Sunday, I certainly don't think that's bad. Get your turnips, sell them immediately, that's just instant cash.
