Getting Rich

[Chaerin]

How do so many people have millions and billions of bells?
Wouldn't getting that many bells require you to do a lot of work?
It seems like you'd have to play almost everyday for hours.
I know catching island beetles helps you with bells but the most I was able to from selling beetles is up to 4mil yet I see people who have over 50 million bells and over 1 billion bells.
How are you able to get that many bells?

 

[Vizionari]

People sell tier 1 villagers. I sold Whitney for 25 mil, I have about 40 mil total right now.

 

[Envelin]

Selling my tbt is how I have 30m bells now.

 

[rosabelle]

Beetle farming, turnips, selling villagers or selling TBT bells.

Selling my tbt is how I have 30m bells now.

I know a lot of people who are rich but they know nothing about site.

I think a lot people sell BTB, hybrid flowers, bush starts, saplings, unorderables, and turnips to make a lot of their money. There's also selling perfect fruit in towns where they aren't native (especially stacked with a Premium bonus), and the lazy camper game.

 

[Serine_Sapphire88]

It's a combination of a bunch of methods. Selling top tier villagers, turnips, trading btb's, selling rare furniture and hybrids, and farming island beetles/sharks.

I got really rich by hosting turnips sales for a week. I bought and sold abt 40m and made abt the same in tips. My goal was 100 m to get the safe. So when I reached that, I really insisted on no more tips. But, I have found the less you ask for, many people here give more. A generous group!

 

[Noctis]

selling popular villagers, selling tbt for bells, beetle hunting, turnips, selling items/hybrids/bushes as everyone else said.
maybe those people you know have duped bells or use powersave which is faster.

 

[Dewy]

Those people who do not use sites like this for selling things have most likely duped to get their bells

 

[LambdaDelta]

I'd like to see someone with billions of bells

non powersave shenanigans

I used to go beetle/shark hunting at night and sell them at Re-Tail and/or exploit lazy camping villagers, but then I used the turnip selling method. Pretty simple, every Sunday morning before 12PM, a brown boar called Joan will be walking around your town selling turnips. These range from 90-110 Bells, and I recommend buying <100 Bells. Then, you can check your Re-Tail for the rest of the following week. Ask for the Turnip Prices, and Reese will tell you. The prices change twice a day, once in the morning (before 12PM) and in the afternoon-evening. Then, if I get a large spike, say, at around 400-600+ Bells, I sell. Or I can check the forums to see who has a high selling price and sell my turnips over there. I buy a whole lockerful, filing up 1800 spaces, which gives me ~8-12mil each week.

And for those people with a billion Bells, most likely to be hacked in.

 

[Luna_Solara]

I've gotten mine (about 80 mil) by trading perfect fruit with others, using the stalk market, beetle/shark hunting and selling unorderables that I don't want here on TBT. It has taken some time though.

 

[cIementine]

I just sell my tbt and sell stuff.

 

[thatawkwardkid]

I know a lot of people who are rich but they know nothing about site.

Not everyone sells TBT as a source of money, do they?

Most people sell villagers, sell stuff like fruits and furniture, beetle hunt (but this takes a lot of patience), trade, etc.

 

[7Yrs]

Beetle hunting was my go to for a while. But I mainly use the stalk market for bells nowadays. I've got a sibling who also has animal crossing, and if either of us have turnip prices around the 500 or over mark, we buy and sell like mad.

 

[mags]

I got all mine with catching beetles and selling turnips.

 

[B e t h a n y]

They dupe..

Lol, some people do but a lot of people sell tbt

 

[Christopaz]

I'm currently beetle hunting for the moment, stalk market seems fun though.

 

[FireNinja1]

Stalk market can literally net you 12m in a half hour if you do it optimally.

I used the Re-Tail board to trade with others and make profit off of that. There'll be quite a few people who are desperate for something and are willing to cough up the money for it. If you've got a large catalog I suggest opening up a shop.
