How do you feel about Nookazon?

[SadStringbean]

I've been using Nookazon a LOT lately, and I have a love/hate relationship with it. On one hand, you have nice polite people selling things for low prices. Then you have more business type people that sell things for a ridiculous amount, and cancel orders FOR A DIY THAT APPARENTLY SHOULD GO FOR MORE(Yes there is a grain of salt in that), and then you have Scammers. how do you feel about this website?

I've heard too many horror stories to say I like it. That being said, I'm fairly positive that I haven't used it myself. I think I've browsed what other people have available, but I don't think I've actually made a transaction using it.

I’ve never really used it to be fair. The times I’ve tried I just couldn’t get hold of the sellers.

I like it and I’ve done over a hundred trades, but so many people are unresponsive there. They’ll make an offer which I accept within minutes and I send them the dodo code, and then they just never show up or reply to me again. Now I usually ask them for the code instead so at least I’m not waiting forever with my gate open. I’ve only been scammed once though.

i'm actually currently using nookazon as we speak to sell some of my hybrid flowers.

if you try to do yourself a favour and take a look at the reviews before trading, it helps out a bit. i've personally never come across anyone shady, trying to swindle me but then again, who's gonna swindle me for some pink hyacinths, right?

i have heard some terrible, terrible things about nookazon when it comes to villager trades, etc., however. and i think for the bigger trades, i'll probably just avoid it altogether. i'd rather not give myself the opportunity for anything to go wrong. i wouldn't be able to forgive myself if i lost out on a lot of bells, tickets, or worse, from a bad trade :c

There's the good, the bad and the ugly on that site. You just have to be careful and always check the rating of the individual you're trading with before any big transactions. I've gotten very kind people, and that's what I try to focus on the most.

I've done stuff through Nookazon before, but only for villager trades, only for reasonable/no prices, and only through their discord. I like that a lot more than their standard system because then you can at least get a little bit of an impression of the person you're trading with before you actually do it. Met some really nice people that way.

Also I would never do a big trade on there, too shady, you're definitely overpaying, super not worth it.

I use Nookazon a lot and it's been alright so far! I only had a few people trying to scam but I jut shut off my game when that happens. I do NMT and villager sales and so far so good!

 

[Imbri]

The only thing I use Nookazon for is to look up variants of items. I've heard too many stories of trades/deals gone wrong there, and while it may not be fair to tar the whole site with that brush, I'm not willing to take a chance with my island. I'd rather stick to trading with people from TBT or those I know IRL.

 

[PugLovex]

i’ve heard pretty scary things from people who have used it, and it looks too confusing for me, so i prefer to stay on the bell tree forums to do my trades

 

[Silkfawn]

I don't think I've ever had a bad experience, as in with scammers and such.
I dislike it when someone wants to adopt a villager, and then cancel after I've TT'd to the next day to get them in boxes >.>

But yeah, it's a convenient way of selling/buying stuff!
Just make sure the seller has 5 stars and preferably 20+ reviews.

 

[thatawkwardkid]

I have one but I only use it as a reference when trying to buy stuff off of this site. I try to avoid trading there as much as possible. I haven't been scammed there luckily but I find that people there are either rude or tend to overprice for basic items, even if I have what they're looking for they'll end ghosting me (guessing they were looking for more?). I'd rather trade on this site.

 

[SirOctopie]

I thought about using it in the past, but I've heard too many horror stories that make me steer clear of anything remotely having to do with that site. There are a lot of scammers, and I feel most of the deals are either way too inflated or too good to be true. Plus everyone wants a ridiculous amount of NMT... Like if you can afford however many NMT to get Raymond, you might as well just hunt for Raymond yourself. It isn't worth being ripped off.

That's not to say that ALL users who are on there are scammers though. At least you can view someone's rating to get a good idea of who you're dealing with. Most people who do dealings with scammers are willing to call them out publicly.

 

[Eureka]

In general, I like Nookazon. I've made a lot of good trades on there and was able to get villagers/items I would have never been able to on my own or even using this website (just certain villagers, everything else you can likely find here!). However, it has some serious things I dislike too.

The two main being people often overcharge a ridiculous amount for items and the higher chance of getting scammed (being an extremely high traffic website and greed). To avoid being scammed look at the persons reviews. Do not just look at how many stars they have though, actually go to their reviews and see if there are any negative. Just my advice!

 

[RileyRose]

I use it sometimes but they want a lot of nmts for some items and I'm not sitting there all day printing them off one by one because it takes too long.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

I’m fine with Nookazon for item trading but I would be EXTREMELY leery of villager trading (I don’t villager trade in the first place) because of all the horror stories.

 

[Cosmic-chan]

I don't use it so I can't have a valid opinion on it but from what I have seen it looks scary and the prices on stuff is cra cra

 

[river]

I'm kinda scared to use tbh haha

Never completed a trade there but there are so many horror stories about it online...

 

[Watchingthetreetops]

it never works. their discord works great but the damn sight never works for me

 

[maria110]

I've done hundreds of trades on Nookazon with no problems. Of all those, only 2 were for villagers. I check reviews very carefully when trading for a villager or if I'm buying or selling something like a rare DIY or genuine artwork.
