I have read up about the patterns etc. But I still need some help.

Q1 : How many turnips do you need to buy to get alot of profit?

Q2: Can you go to someone else's town to buy very cheap turnips?

Q3 : Based on your experience, how much profit do you earn every week by selling turnips?(Please post the amount of turnips you sell.)

Q4: Will it cost me alot if I buy more than 100 turnips?
Advices are also appreciated.
 
I tend to buy 2 lockers worth of turnips
Yes you can
Best profit I've made on 2 lockers worth is 8 million
 
Sort of ontopic sorry for hijacking the thread Kil omg,

Should I be checking my Retails every day to see if there are good prices for people? If there are, do I post a giveaway in Retail, or does it have to be in the Train Station? And I'm assuming only post if the selling price is 400+ right?
 
Q1 : How many turnips do you need to buy to get alot of profit?

It depends on several factors: how much space you have, how much capital you have, how much time you're willing to put into buying the turnips (it gets tedious), and how much you're actually willing to "lose".

1million bells seems like the standard. That's almost a whole locker full. If you want a full locker, that's 1.6-2mil depending on Joan's selling price.​

Q2: Can you go to someone else's town to buy very cheap turnips?


Yes.​

Q3 : Based on your experience, how much profit do you earn every week by selling turnips?(Please post the amount of turnips you sell.)

For a whole locker full, I spend about 1.8mil (assuming Joan is selling at 100 per turnip). That's uhhhh 18,000 turnips (100 turnips per slot, 180 slots). If I sell them at 500, I make 9mil, which is 7.2mil of profit.

I usually sell at towns buying at at least 500 if my pattern doesn't spike.​

Q4: Will it cost me alot if I buy more than 100 turnips?

Again it depends on what your concept of "a lot" is. But if you mean if the price will increase the more turnips you buy, then no.​

You totally should! I usually check my own but my turnip prices suck most of the time, so I end up relying on reddit. Whenever I catch a good turnip price thread in TBT the slots are either always full or I've just sold all my turnips elsewhere. xD

It all goes in the Train Station, I believe. I've never seen turnip prices threads on Re-Tail. The Train Station also has a Turnip Price thread, and people post there to look for good prices. o:

Don't worry. It's okay c:

I've heard that you can post even if it's 300+, because some people can't sell their turnips for a higher price.
It's better to get something than lose all your profit. Also, Train Station is the board you post it in c:
 
Q1 : I buy enough to fill an entire locker plus my inventory. (I have one character that is just for turnips!)
Q2: Yes! Look for prices in the low 90's.
Q3 : I can make as much as 11m or more if I can find a high turnip price over 600.
Q4: I think I keep around 1m or 1.2m on my turnip mule to buy turnips but I don't keep an exact amount in my head.

I haven't been selling/buying lately but when I do I stalk the forums here and also Reddit for high selling prices. I fully recommend using a character JUST for turnips if you want to make a lot of profit. Usually your mayor doesn't have much space.
 
Thanks for the advice guys <3 I don't do turnips myself, but I realized maybe I should try helping people by letting them sell! And maybe I should start doing turnips since I haven't been TTing on my main copy anyway haha... So yes yes thank you C:
 
yeah, I buy one locker full. 1-2mill approx at under 100 cost. More stored than that is irritating for me to deal with. I find someone else's town on the board that same day or the next day at 500-600+ and sell there. Done. then I can tt if I want.
 
1. They say a locker's full of turnips, but I've found that even 1/3 of a locker can pull in a nice amount of cash
2. Yes.
3. I use them very infrequently, but the few times I actually did it the most I made was 2m.
4. Depends on what you call "a lot".
