why is nookazon so expensive????

[sleepydreepy]

Most people on Nookazon only want money & rare items and/or are trying to scam you. Its a different culture than that of TBTF where most people are extremely kind and generous, and the majority of people are looking to create a community. People here give away top tier villagers for free, many threads sell IGB for extremely low tbt rates, etc. I can't tell you how many times I've posted a thread in Nook's Cranny looking for something in particular and someone has commented "I'll give you mine for free!" or something like that. I guess its more community-like here than over there where its just cut and dry buying and selling.

I have used nookazon a few times in the past but i agree it's pricey. and now its full of ads so it's pretty impossible to use anyway. i went there because i was looking for the rest of the flower wreath/crown diys i needed and had no luck here. i personally never used nmt or igb to buy stuff, i would find listings with a wishlist and offer things i had that they wanted. also i would suggest that u make offers on listings where the seller is listed as online. some people will post things on there and than vanish for days or more. by only making offers to sellers currently online u get responses much quicker and i even had a couple times where the response was almost immediate and i got my item right away. i dont see myself ever using that site again even if they do get rid of the ads. i'd have to be pretty freakin desperate.

I'll take the under and defend the Nook.

Maybe I'm just getting lucky, but I'm a pretty heavy user of Nookazon (over 150 reviews), and I've never had someone visit my island and scam me. On the contrary just about everyone I've traded with has been very nice. On maybe 3 occasions, I've had low rated accounts try to make ridiculous offers (like 30,000 NMT's for a cute bed), which I've just ignored because it's so obvious what they're trying to do.

I actually think the prices of most items are pretty reasonable. Most normal items go for 3-5 NMT's or 50k, while expensive items like pianos go for 10-15 NMT. But most importantly the market is liquid and it's easy to compare prices and close trades pretty quickly.

On Nookazon, the key was to sell whatever rare thing one had for as much as possible in order to be able to buy the overpriced stuff one wanted. It's definitely a sort of luxury market that is driven by people who have boatloads of bells and NMT. I remember one time I was trying to buy something basic from some guy, like wood, and someone outbid me by offering him 1 million bells. For wood! He wrote to tell me he was sorry, but the other offer was too good to refuse, lol.

And one time I listed a crescent moon chair for auction and a lady offered me 2 million bells for it. And she left me a bunch of gifts. It was pretty wild.

Whenever I needed NMT or Bells, I would just list a crescent moon chair. Or Frozen set items. I made good money selling one dude a bunch of orange Frozen items for his "hell frozen over" horror island.

There are definitely some nice people on there. One seller, with a very fancy island and house, crafted some items for me for free when I went to do a trade for something else. And there were others. But there are scammers and clueless folks as well.

Nooks Cranny on here is better, once you learn how the donate TBT function works and such. It's more laid back with much lower prices. Nookazon can be fun when you want to fire off a bunch of trades at a fast pace with strangers. It's more gamified like when you sell your spare Valiant statue for 80 NMT and woo hoo, you can go on a shopping spree. I haven't had the energy to trade on there in months though.

Bingo. This is the trick. Prices are high relative to what someone could make just grinding on their own island, but if you're willing to sell your extra stuff you can quickly catch up to the market prices.

At least it seems the community is quite generous with pricing, but some people sell stuff for alot but usally you can find more offers.

True, also I still don't know why stuff is 10x the price

My daughter tried getting me a statue of liberty on there and they wanted 50 nook miles tickets. This was quite awhile back and she didn't have close to 50. Seems a bit high.
