Marshal is extremely popular...anyone would be lucky to have him without even trading! You can just tell because this post is titled "Marshal" and already has over 400 views.
I got him through the village reset trick before he is actually one of the few cute smug villagers, but I don't understand how someone could pay that much for him. I am completely against selling villagers, I mean, it feels wrong, they are animals and behave like humans xd.
It's so painful just getting him. >.<
I've been resetting the campsite a lot of times, but nothing. I've also been going to 8 villagers to see if Marshal (or dreamies) come randomly. I hope I still get to finish my dream town before april fools.
