Is anyone else annoyed by the constant greed?

I can understand charging a few for some things but not everything. I think in general people are asking a LOT for a little.

I offered to let people over to grab a DIY for free and got overwhelmed by how many people responded, as well as how many people ghosted and wasted my time. There was a moment where I wished I'd charged a few just to cut down on how overwhelming it was, but I was still happy to help.

However, I think the amount people ask can be nuts. Like 5% of your turnip prices...so basically the person who makes more in 1 single trip pays more than someone who has less to sell, even though they both only make one trip. It's unfair.

Though I will say recently I've been met with some really generous people. I got a villager I liked for free the other night, and I had two people come to me and offer me a popular expensive villager for free because I was very upset I couldn't afford him. So there is certainly still some kind, and generous people out there. They're just more of hidden gems.
 
i have noticed here ppl are usually more reasonable, but it still doesn't make looking at the villager trading board any easier bc i am constantly low on nmt 😭 i suppose i was pretty lucky to find marshal's amiibo card randomly in a pack years ago, can't believe my son goes for so much money :o
 
i had someone charge me 200K bells for a baby bear that, as far as i’m aware of, only costs 1,000-3,000 bells in-game
 
"entry fees" oh no no no

sure in the real world if you sell something you'd pay a small fee for admin or whatever, but ffs this is video game
 
I JUST made an account here, before this I have been on a relatively small discord server where asking for anything in return for letting someone adopt your villager is actually against the rules. You can only give them away - tips are appreciated, however. So for me to come from an environment like that, not growing up with the game, and then come here? It's a completely different world.
I think, along with greed, people want complete their ideas already. They want end-game now. But game cycles the way it does intentionally. Able's doesn't sell everything at once, Nook's doesn't have the full, completed catalog on day one, Sable only comes sometimes, Leif only comes sometimes, Celeste only comes sometimes. That pacing is intentional. And some players dont like that, and take it out on other players via making demands in trades.
 
I admittedly sold some different DIY for certain NMT but was just genuinely after Raymond haha, overall high prices in general I am definitely tired of seeing exorbitant fees for turnips, simple items, hybrids etc.
 
Yeah sometimes it takes forever to find something for a reasonable price! I miss when nmt weren't a main currency... I feel like the huge value of them contributes to the prices around the forum, but without them it makes it hard to buy anything! It's weird to adapt when your not generally a regular seller of things :/
 
I haven't really seen as much greed on the site as much as I have on the TBT Discord. I've seen all the ridiculous prices like 10 NMTs to visit Celeste or whatever there for the most part. Thankfully, the forum is much more reasonable when it comes to pricing.

A while back I posted my furniture wishlist in the Discord and all 3 people who messaged me wanted 1 NMT per furniture item, which I checked and were all items under 5k bells each, including an incense burner which is like.. 900 bells. It just baffles me how people ask so much for items that cost so little. I'd feel embarrassed asking that much for cheap furniture tbh.

If it's something I really want or someone's selling me a decent amount of catalog items then I don't mind paying NMTs. At least it's more convenient and worth it to me, especially if they're spending the time to order it all.

There are a lot of people who are new to the game or desperate for certain items/selling their turnips and it's pretty sad seeing people take advantage of them because they know they'll dish out the NMTs. Hopefully most people don't actually support them.

Also, I think 1 NMT is a perfectly reasonable entry fee for things like Celeste and selling turnips because hosting (especially for multiple people) can be tedious and very time consuming. It's when the price goes beyond that it starts to become a problem.
Sorry for the wall of text.
 
I was looking for an item that costs 1,600 igb and is orderable. Someone asked for 1nmt for it or 170k igb.
I passed on that offer!

I tried buying Raymond for an old tbt price for Marshal etc. and even w/ 2k LOL it doesn't meet NMT currency levels it's legit insane how highly valued it has become the value has increased far too much for just about anything :/
 
I joined Bell Tree Forums in November 2013. It was three months after I purchased and started playing “New Leaf.” In the first half of 2014, I paid millions in bells for villagers Stitches, Julian, and Rosie.

I bought amiibo cards timed with the September 2015 releases of “Happy Home Designer.” The four series releases—Card Nos. 001 to 400—were released in installments until June 2016. I traded with people. I even gave some people some extra cards. I ended up with all 400.

The “New Leaf” update known as “Welcome amiibo” happened on November 2, 2016. It was then that I realized it was good that I bought the amiibo cards. That, right there, had at least one forum member having mentioned on this site that that effectively killed much of the point of the continuation of the “Villager Trade” area of Bell Tree Forums. Now, it didn’t really kill them. Because not all people bought the amiibo cards. But, it did kill the need for those with the amiibo cards to be villager-trading with other forum members.

Now, with “New Horizons,” we have some news islander characters. Some people are impressed with them. I haven’t gone out of my way for any new characters like Sherb or Raymond. It is not based on having any opinion of any of them. I am feeling, right now and lately, that I should not get eager or overly-eager with the game. Its very design is meant to last not for several months but for several years. I was playing “New Leaf” for seven years. That is a long time for a video game. So, for all this talk about people’s greed—I understand. It is, in a way, silly. But, obviously their motivations—perhaps they think they are coming up with something utterly fantastic and ideal (and the millions in bells make that happen sooner rather than later)—is how they figure is best for them personally to play “New Horizons.”

saw an auction go up to 260 nmt, i was just kidding abt 400 nmt for audie hsjdjd who has this amount of nmt?? i time travel and i still don't 😭
 
Yes, absolutely! I've spent a week trying to find a villager (Ruby) for a decent price! Everyone wants 30-50 NMTs or 3,000,000+ bells and I'm just like "fam, I literally just started the game a month ago how the heck would I have 3 mil already?" (That said, if anyone has managed to get that much already, teach me your ways. lol. I time travel and I'm nowhere near that kind of money or Nook miles!)

I sell on Nookazon but have everything set to make an offer because I'm not trying to be the wolf of Wall Street, I'm just trying to offload some stuff I don't need thinking maybe I'll get something interesting out of it.

Raymond prices are insane! Him going anywhere from 1000nmt to r e a l m o n e y??? I've managed to save up 150nmt so far in hopes of hunting for him for because buying him is out of the question! I love the cat but even at Marshall's highest popularity I never saw him go anywhere near as high!
