Why are my turnip sell prices in retail so low?

[rubyy]

Everyday they're like under 70 bells.


Today they were 40 bells...


I don't have a bell boom ordinance but it still shouldn't cause such a low sell price.


Help?

I think it's just random.

My turnip prices are normally low, but they were once 650 and I got a lot of money from tips *v*

I wish that would happen to me 0.o

There is a pattern to it though. Check out http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/stalk-market/ and it'll tell you all the patterns for the Stalk Market.

I've only ever had one high price which was around 500. Everything else was under 150. I think there's a pattern to it though.

They have a pattern, but other than that, the exact pattern that you end up with is always random.

I always get fairly low patterns (usually 60 - 150 bells at most), and have only had 600+ once in all my months of playing.

Does time travelling mess with your turnip prices in this installation? In CF, if I remember correctly, if a "time paradox" was detected, it would lower turnip prices significantly.

It turns your turnips rotten.

Yes. But the prices? Nothing?

In addition to the Thonky guide Cyote posted, I find this guide helpful as well: http://animalcrossing.us/animal-crossing-new-leaf-stalk-market-guide/

Check your turnip prices in the AM and PM everyday and write them down somewhere (I have a mini spiral notebook for NL related stuff, and I've used the 3DS Game Notes feature as well). And then use a guide to figure out what pattern you have and when would be the best time to sell.

I had the random pattern this week, so when mine were 144 one afternoon, I just sold since there was no guarantee it would go higher and I'd rather make a so-so profit than risk a big loss if my luck was bad for the rest of the week.

I don't think so. During my TT once I got my turnip price to be 524 bells.

Okay, thanks That's good news.
