How do you get sloppy furniture?

[visibleghost]

i've had the sloppy tv in retail before i knew what it was, lol...,,, the best way to get it is by buying it from a villager with it while visiting their house (benjamin, marshal etc) but if you don't have any villagers with the furniture you can only wait for it to appear in retail or the police station, which might take a longggg time ;;
i have gotten a few pieces myself, one from retail and the rest (like 3 or four?) from buying them from my villagers' houses..

I've had at least 3 full sets worth of Sloppy furniture show up in my ReTail. I've gone through 10 or 11 cycles towns & I just kept clearing out ReTail & the pieces would show up once a week or so.

I've been given a few pieces from BFF villagers who randomly visit my house.

I have never seen sloppy furniture in retail or the police station. I ended up buying mine off this site - way easier, but then I am also a little impatient

Once bluebear put up a sloppy lamp and im not really sure if it camr directly from inside her house. Id try to get villagers off of the trading plaza who have it! Which you could easily google. I've had my main town for 3 years and never found one piece besides the lamp lol

Sloppy items can come from all villagers. It's in their inventory. Tutu in my main town put a sloppy clock up for sale at retail.
The best way to get sloppy items is to clear out retail and keep buying the item the villagers put up. Don't do this if you care about their houses. They will start selling their items in their house and one day the sloppy items or cardboard items will appear.

I did this in a spare town where I don't speak to the villagers and the 10 haven't moved since I started the game. I've got a sloppy piece once a week. If it slowed down than I stayed away from retail on Saturday/Sunday. Dropped by on Monday to find another piece. Completed full sets of the Sloppy and cardboard. Lost count on how many wall/floors I have.
