Paying for villagers in the retail

[budewarmin]

So I recently bought a new copy of the game, and have a villager I would like to auction when he pings.

Is putting items in the retail for the buyer to buy the best way? I can't make the price higher than 999999, so must I keep putting stuff up for the buyer to buy if the price for the villager is in millions?

Like how on earth must you give the seller like 30 million if its a popular villager?

Yeah I personally think this is the best way! It takes so long to transfer 5 or more million bells no matter how you do it.

cons:
you have to run all the way up to main street to get more money

and that 1000 for every million is really irritating but you could just put another thing up for sale
(ex. you got 10 mil, but there is 1000 you didn't get for the every mil, so you put something up for 10k bells)
however i'm pretty sure most people don't care about 10k bells

Definitely retail is the best way~

Worry about the missing 1k? Tell them to drop the remaining! Do your math first on how much leftover gonna be and ask them to drop them~ is still lesser than dropping 30mil~

For example:

999k buy from retail, drop the 1k bag out there~k~

You can price items for 999,999 bells in Retail. o: So that's only 1 missing bell. Even for a transaction of 30mil, that would only be 30bells missing, which I feel is pretty small. >.>


I prefer to do large transactions with Retail. The bells go straight into my bank account instead of me having to deposit them all, I can be sure of getting the entire price I asked for (rather than risk a shady buyer dropping bags of 10k instead of 99k), and if the buyer carries 2mil at a time (1.6 in inventory, 400k in letters), it doesn't take that long at all.

It eliminates counting and reconfirming all the bell bags on the ground, having to tidy up a spot to drop money, and also a buyer's worry that I might be picking up bags of bells and saying they never paid them.

I'm glad you asked this. I was just wondering about this earlier today.

I've never done it via Re-Tail, but I would suggest that. I sold a villager once and I only got 2/3 of the price. That was partially my own fault, because I lost count of how many bags they had dropped (the higher the price, the more bags and at some point it gets complicated x_x), but other than that you need to pay attention you also need the space for the buyer to drop the bells (and then afterwards you have to pick them all up and deposit them, as other people have said). So; Re-Tail. ^_^
