Wait, what? Picking up DIY items gives you their recipes? Or am I like missing the point of what you're saying completely.
Is anyone else annoyed by the constant greed?

This. I made 20mill when I made my island a free for all during a turnip spike.
It's crazy how people find anything to charge for now. In New Leaf days, no one really cared much for tips or entry fees.

I find it pretty ridiculous. 1k-10k bells or 1 NMT seems appropriate as an entry fee/payment for most small things. I can understand a price like that, but really I think charging at all is kinda harsh. (Letting someone visit Celeste, Able Sisters, etc.)

I'm certainly noticing it lmfao but we live in a world where if you charge it people will pay if they want it I suppose.
Just can't bring myself to ask for anything, people just gotta hit me up and I'll do whatever lol
I'll tell you what tho, it certainly helps to weed some of the people who I'd deal with on the daily

That is not correct. I've cataloged plenty of DIY items and never had a DIY for it.
owning the diy item and owning the diy recipe are two wholly different things
It's crazy that people are going with it too
I can't justify the 400+ NMT for Raymond lol
I am going to have to correct myself.
I thought everything I had Human A give Human B on my island showed up in Human B’s list of DIY receipes.
One example, why I was not correct, is that Human A crafted the Apple Wallpaper. I had Human A give it to Human B. The DIY recipe for it is not with Human B.
So, I apologize for my prior post’s suggestion.

Items you can buy from a shop can be picked up and dropped can go into your catalog, so you can order them yourself and have them delivered through the mail. You don't get a recipe by picking up and dropping. The item will appear in your catalog but you can't buy it.
I mean obviously but that doesn’t mean it still can’t annoy me when I see it.
Again, just venting. I’m not engaging with the ridiculous listings. Just because someone finds something annoying doesn’t mean they’re going to accept it as the only option.It is extremely possible to have that many hybrids. Everyone looovess using the “tHaT cANt bE pOsSiBlE tHeY mUsT bE tImE TrAvElInG” line whenever someone has something that they can’t achieve. I think that’s equally, if not more annoying than people asking for a lot of IGB/NMTs, which btw if you do not like you can simply not trade with them, close the thread and find something else etc.

For a split second I thought if I’m doing something wrong when I let people come to my island for free of charge when I have Celeste, Saharah, meteor showers or a villager crafting a nice DIY etc. It never occurred to me that I could ask compensation for something so minor. I think that because we have more players than ever before, we also come across some negative aspects within the community more frequently. I was willing to trade my duplicate cherry-blossom DIY for flower seed bags that I didn’t have in my town.

attention gamers,
i feel like its largely because the game is brandy-new. the combination of tons of new players unaware of what things typically go for, allowing people to take advantage of them, plus everyone generally being early on in the game allowing time travelers and the like to use their mass advantage over everyone else in resources to overcharge early-game players for stuff that's relatively easy to get in late game. i'm sure later on as everyone settles into late game and is familiar with how common/rare everything is we'll stop seeing people get away with charging obscene prices for relatively small things.
at least that's my guess. i wasn't in the ac community at the time of new leaf's release, so i wouldn't know if the same thing happened way back when.

I understand charging someone to visit your island since it’s such a time consuming process to have people constantly coming and going, and to make sure they aren’t doing something shady. However charging 1 NMT is very different than charging 15, that’s absolutely greedy.

The greed doesn't really bother me, because I mostly play solo. I do think that it's unfortunate, though. That said...I want to think that for every greedy such and such out there, there are also tons of selfless people who want to spread good cheer and fun. So, that's worth considering.
Yeah, I get what you mean.
Yes. This is the nature of any market and people in general, sadly. I think the solution is to choose to not be a part of the problem because the more people who charge reasonable fees or don't charge at all, the less power these type of people have.
I can't say I'm too surprised by it, the game is still pretty new all things considered, and people are paying these sorts of prices for this stuff - if they weren't, no one would be "selling" at these prices.
Always good to keep an eye out, some people are happy to offer up stuff for free or accept small donations.
