Why do people sell villagers?

[talisheo]

It seems like a cruel thing to do, esp at the prices they are going for. Honestly people I see why you would sell items or even trade villagers but selling?! Really? I hope I am not the only one that feels this way.

Because now I can make the perfect town without having to worry about funds.

 

[TeddysMama711]

To get dream villagers without having to reset hundreds of times

 

[talisheo]

@ catman_ That doesn't seem like a good enough reason when you can make money so easy now. Have you heard of the stalk market?

@ TeddysMama711 that still doesn't explain why people won't just give them to you. I go through villager resets everyday (starting two days ago) and give people their villagers for free.

 

[Gizmodo]

Its a never ending cycle
you need to sell for a high price, so then you have bells to buy your own dream villager

Yes I have. Stalk market is more than an annoyance when you can just sell a villager that came by your campsite.

Well you must be a very nice person then. Lots of villagers are popular and if people are willing to pay 50mil+, why not? You don't have to sell/buy them if you don't want to.

I got Marshal in my campsite but I have 10 villagers I would give it for free if it was not as popular but if it was like really popular I'd probably charge them.

 

[Chameleonsoup]

I've bought villagers but I'd never sell them. I know it's only a game but it just feels a bit wrong to me! The ones I've bought can live free range in my town lol

 

[rivulet]

I haven't sold my villagers before, but I've bought a ton of them to achieve my dream town. I'm only one villager away from all my favorites ;w;

I've probably spent 40m on villagers though, lol

 

[talisheo]

@ TeddysMama711 Why would you even need all those bells anyway?

@ Hazelx If you had marshal in the campsite someone could have still gotten him. It takes a while but a visitor to a town with a camper can still convince them to move to their town

@ Chameleonsoup I'm glad someone feels the same way! I once bid on a villager but I have never bought one since. I am trading Lobo for Coco but it seems the person is not interested now. So I might give him away now

@ rivulet That is just flat out insane. I would never spend that much ever. In fact, my total spending on finishing my catalog is only around 10 mil (I got 7/11 set, Ice Set, full bug set, and a bunch of other items). Who is your last dreamie? I might see them in my reset today

 

[TeddysMama711]

@ TeddysMama711 Why would you even need all those bells anyway?

To pay off house loans, to build pwps, to buy sets, buy things from people on retail, the list goes on....

 

[jmeleigh23]

I think it's sad too and I would never do it but I mean people play the game how they want to, right? So it's not really my place to say anything about how other people play

Actually probably less then that. xD
But you know, they're like my main focus on the game uwu

I just need Stitches now~

 

[Lyla]

I give away villagers. Selling them is odd. ''give me tonnes of money for this villager I don't even want! I deserve it.'' lol.

 

[catman_]

Give me Marshal if you ever find him then xx

 

[Corduroy]

i honestly see nothing wrong with it.
if someone chooses to spend their whole savings on a villager, it's fine with me.
i haven't sold or bought any villagers, but only because i have no villagers to sell or any money to buy.

 

[talisheo]

@ TeddysMama711 I just did a quick calc on how much I have spent overall in the game and its only 20.7 mil which i can make in three weeks thanks to stalk market. And Lyla makes a good point there.

@ rivulet Hopefully I'll see Stitches today. A lot of people want him, and I only want his pic. So maybe we'll get lucky. He is one of the villagers I have to do a raffle for though. On the wish list I am using there are over 10 people who want him D :

@ Lyla OMG that is soo true. I never realized that. Now I am even more against it.

@ catman_ If I see him I'll have no choice but to do a raffle. He is soo popular it would be unfair to promise him to one person at this point.

@ Corduroy another neutral party I see Thanks for sharing your opinion

 

[TeddysMama711]

Well, this is your opinion. Just like some people are against time traveling. People shouldn't be judged by the way they play their game.

 

[Brackets]

I think that if people are selling them, and people are prepared to buy them, then why not. Sure, it would be nicer if people would give them away, but hey. I would personally never buy one. (I'm too poor anyway)
