Guide of suggested median prices for collectibles

[zoetrope]

Agreed the rate is ridiculous...

And Lassy, I would propose that perhaps the common feathers are dropping in price a bit? I see several red and green feathers up for sale. There's interest, but the sellers that are holding to 2.5k/3k are failing to sell at that price. (ie still for sale)

Interest in feathers does seem to have fallen recently, but I want to mention that one of the feathers up for sale was won in a giveaway. That might be one reason why nobody's biting on that one (since that's seen as a no-no).

I'm sure the feathers will go up in price again soon. And I'll never get one. T_T

I feel like duping has always been a problem in AC series, I'm pretty sure Nintendo knows about it and either don't care or don't know how to fix it.

Very true. Both Wild World and City Folk had equivalents to what power saving lets you do in New Leaf, although you could do way more in those games than New Leaf. (such as completely edit the layout of your town etc, I know cos I did it!) I had hopes that this would be the game where it wouldn't happen but alas that's not been the case. I think the Wii U game should be safe from anything with outside tools like power saves as so far the Wii U has been impenetrable, but it wouldn't surprise me to find a duping glitch still there in the game itself. And of course after NL, everyone and their mother will be hunting to try to find it as soon as the game comes out!

Such a pity, dupers are so pleased with themselves when they find a way to cheat the game, if only they would stop to think that not only do they destroy the game for others, but also for themselves, AC is a game that could have many months of play life, but it gets whittled down to just a few weeks, and the worst is they think they are so clever.

oo I don't have a wii u so I didn't know Nintendo didn't develop some sort of powersave for it. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo makes one though.

Datel, I think, is what makes the powersave device. They were also known for Action Reply and Max Memory.

ooooh so it's not even a nintendo product??

Nah, all outside emulators, and such

No it isn't. That's part of the reason why it's not allowed here. In fact, Nintendo even opposes unauthorized companies from messing with their games.

If Nintendo had some form of cheating intentionally added, it would be in-game cheat codes made by the company (which we don't have) and time traveling (which we had since 2002).

But even if people don't use powersaves, you can dupe with just the game alone over wifi sooo yeahh Nintendo needs to fix that shiz.

 

[Justin]

What? No, Nintendo doesn't make the cheats, that'd be crazy haha. They do their best to protect their hardware, but it's usually broken eventually. In fairness to them, it took a good 3 years with the 3DS for it to happen. Just a matter of how long that process takes people to do for the Wii U.

 

[BiggKitty]

It is a great shame that it takes so few people to ruin a game for so many

Anyone else starting to believe that the IGB/BTB ratio is getting out of control? Someone is buying for 13 million/100 and another is doing 10 million/100 and 25 million/200 which is ridiculous D: i remember when i joined that 6 million was pretty decent for BTB. I still value it at like 6-8 million.

It's been out of control for a very long time. Anyone willing to drop that many bells for 100 tbt needs to go get some fresh air or something.

Datel isn't just trying to break the Nintendo Systems. They did this with Microsoft's and Sony's systems too. But they're more complicated. Besides, with the Nintendo Network part of the Wii U, I think it will be impossible.

In regards to the exchange rate, the rate has been going unstably high. I remembered that when I first joined, it was at 5 million. It's not just increasing, but it's increasing at a fast rate.

 

[Skyfall]

Not to date myself but I remember when it was 400,000 to 100 tbt. Should have hoarded then, lol but I thought it was out of control then. . Yes totally out of control that's a lot of time to spend for tbt.

i remember it at 100k per 100 bells. i was able to sell so many villagers for 4k each. ty marshals!

Yes, I remember it at that rate too, the TBT marketplace hardly had any movement, those were the good old days!

 

[Maruchan]

100-400k per 100 btb? 4k per villager?? Woah that was some frightfully good times indeed!!
It was an average of 500-700 btb for a T1 when I started cycling for bells.
The highest I've seen would be for a buyout of Rosie at 1000+ btb.

I thought the most 'remarkable' conversion rates I can remember would be someone selling at 15-20 mil per,
and another member selling btb at huge chunks, like 1000-3000 each time, they were quite new,
but 'have friends who gifted them all these btb'
O__o
Strange that they seemed to have just...vanished. At least I did not see them around anymore.

The TBT Marketplace is quite an intimidating /strange place when I first joined. (Well it still is, but in a different way)
I just wandered in to browse and saw people buying and selling these 'collectibles' in their shops, and I was a bit puzzled at why do these square-y thingy cost so much it's a bunch of colorful letters lol. ^^;;
I also have fond memories of seeing witch's shop with quite a few unorderable AC items that I really wanted, but could not get because of time zone differences & lack of bells. When I finally get around to it, the shop is closed. OTZ

 

[Sholee]

the good ol' days!

Bought my yellow japanese house collectible for 3K during that time too. But japanese house collectibles arn't really as rare now since a lot of people know they get restocked during bell tree directs and anticipate for it.

 

[BiggKitty]

I spent ages trying to buy a yellow house when there were only 16 in existence. At the time I was offering 25k an obscenly unheard of amount TBT and no one would bite, it was something to aim for at the time, will I, won't I get it? The chase was half the fun, now it is all too easy and collectibles are no longer valued as they used to be
