What is your main source of Bells?

[FireNinja1]

I would just like to get the general consensus of how others earn bells. I've heard many talk about the oh-so-profitable (I did this everyday for a month straight once) beetle hunting, but I believe that there are other methods that may be used as a reliant, stable source by TBT members. Please note that this is a poll on ACNL bells, and not TBT bells.

Edit 1: I forgot to use a poll, so I guess tally it is. I'll try to check as frequently as possible, and update it here, which is sort of a good thing, because of the abundance of ways to earn them.

Edit 2: If you list multiple, I will only list the first. It helps in the sense that we can see how many people voted. And you guys are pulling up some things I should be doing, but don't due to laziness. xP

Beetle/Shark Hunting: 6
Turnips: 5
Fruit Orchards/Perfect Fruit: 1
Re-Tail: 2

Going to the island and catching beetles.

It gets way too boring.

 

[The4thDoctor]

I enjoy doing turnips from time to time, but since you gotta keep an eye on the forums for a bit to get good prices, it's hard to do a lot.

 

[jvgsjeff]

My top three would probably be:

1. Island bugs/sharks.
2. Selling coffee beans and gems at inflated prices to my villagers.
3. Daily money rock.

I'd like to do turnips too, but I don't usually play on Sunday mornings.

 

[MayorCake]

Turnips seem to be my main bell income.

 

[Riah]

i usually go to the island, but a recent turnip spike raked in a lot of cash :')

oh but i also enjoy making my villagers buy overpriced fossils

 

[Mizutama]

I sell perfect fruit between my towns (TT, obviously). Can't be bothered with turnips. Works a treat.

 

[Rosalina]

The Island. I should probably try and do turnips one day though...

 

[Miss Renee]

I just hunt beetles on the island.

 

[Megan.]

Turnips. Beetle hunting got boring so fast. D;

 

[Laurina]

My main source of bells has been the Re-Tail boards on here. I sold lots of hybirds and they really added up. Also sold a lot of junk I've has stored up. Second to that would be the Island beetle/shark hunting.

 

[poliwag0]

Selling island items to other members of this forum. Or at least that's what it was when I used to be active. Now I have a new town and am using fruit.

 

[Saranghae]

I went crazy on turnips one day when my other NL game had a really good sell price. Got 100mil and haven't had a reason to earn anymore since then so yeah, turnips

 

[Tropicana]

Turnips. I actually only got 12 million when I did it for the first ( and only time) and that seems to be enough ( for now). I still have 4 million but I think I might have to do it again. I used to catch bugs but that ruined the game for me, it's so boring.

 

[SageJ]

Island or Fishing/Diving

 

[Stockley_]

My main source of bells would be bug catching on the island, but that's only when I'm not lazy. For the most part, I just use the money rock, sell fossils, and any furniture I get I put it in re-tail and adjust the price to the maximum amount a villager will pay for it.

 

[Xanarcah]

First it was beetle hunting. Then I started in the villager trade. Then I progressed to the Re-Tail board with clothing and furniture.

Now Turnips are the main source of my income. I'm juuuuust under 400mil, trying to get to 1bil, because I'm ridiculous~

 

[Swiftstream]

sitting around and doing nothing owo

Actually I sell things, and I have about 5 million in my ABD {So poor i know :'(}
but i really dont want to have a whole town of turnips, or have to spend hours beetle farming.

 

[aetherene]

I used to do a lot of beetle hunting. And then I started with turnips. Oh, and beetle hunting + lazy camper exploit got me some good cash.

Now I don't really do anything than just selling my unneeded items on TBT and gamefaqs.

 

[juneau]

Used to be the island, but I tried turnips for the first time last weekend and earned more bells than I had ever had in less than 10 minutes. If I actually empty out my inventory for just turnips, I'm sure it'll be very profitable.
