What do you think items are worth?

[Red Cat]

A lot of stuff gets bought and sold here in the Re-tail thread, so I’m wondering what people think items in the game are really worth and whether people overpay or underpay for certain items. Before I go any further here: **This is not an official thread for what is supposed to be a fair price for something. This thread is only for discussing what people think items are worth or should be worth.** I’d like this thread to mostly focus on what items are worth in terms of IGB, since the value of TBT is influenced by non-ACNL items being sold for TBT, but if you want to talk about TBT, I can’t stop you from doing so. I’ve broken down items by categories, and for the sake of consistency, it would be best to post values per item, but you can post entire set values if you want. You can just fill out this form below of what you think stuff is worth, or you can post a description of why you think something is worth a certain price. Some things to think about why something may be worth X amount of bells:

• Is it orderable? If something is orderable, then no matter how hard it is to obtain in the first place, then all you have to do to get more is order them and wait (or TT) for them in the mail. Does this reduce the value of rare orderables?

• How much time does it take to get it? Getting medals for island items or finding a scallop for Pascal takes time. How does this affect the value of the item?

• How rare is it? Is it only available on a specific day or days? How much time traveling do you have to do to find it? If there are a lot of items from a specific category, it may be difficult to find a specific item from that category you are looking for (i.e. trying to find the final painting for your museum).

• How popular is it? Some items like gyroids are fairly rare, but most people don’t even want them which reduces their value.

Finally, if I’m missing any important categories please tell me. Here is the form (just copy/paste it and fill prices in):

Hey, you know the balloons you get from StreetPass? How much are those worth?

Honestly I don't know because I'm not really interested in those, but I think they get sold for around 50k (they are not orderable, but people can buy them repeatedly from HH Showcase). Thanks for letting me know about that category. I'll add it and hopefully other people will suggest prices.

 

[spunkystella]

Wow, I got a rip off. I bought one for 120k... Thanks for replying.

 

[mabadpe]

Ah ye, on my first trade I bought the Astrological DLC set for 1 million, and then saw a shop that offered for 100k, I thought back then all DLC are not re-orderable and it looked so pretty so must be worthy ahha
But from your list I'ld probably agree on 10k for orderable articles (unless the price of article is more of course), and DLC I can agree on 20k too since ye more special even though easy to obtain once you have them. I dont know much about Unorderable prices, so just gonna fill out Miscellaneous since I've been looking around for that.
