why is nookazon so expensive????

[Aliya]

There's a ton of people on there and people usually reply fast. Discord prices seem to be fairly inflated though so IMO, you're really paying for the convenience. If you're more patient, you can likely find the item(s) you want on here for cheaper.

There also may be more dupers on Nookazon, which will inflate prices. Just a guess, though.

B) Exploiters
C) Discorders
D) Massive amounts of user
E) All the above

All I know is that I've had nothing but good experiences on Nookazon and on this forum.

Only complaint I have about Nookazon is hardly anybody gives feedback. I've done at least 12 different trades, 9 of them as the seller, and have 1 feedback. I can't usually leave the buyers feedback because I don't often know who they are, many don't even have profiles.

Really? After I found out that the prices for most hybrids are not in fact a flat 30k-40k bells per, I used Nookazon to adjust the prices. I had no idea that there's a good chance those prices are inflated, no wonder I hadn't had a sale that wasn't someone ghosting on me in weeks.

I use nookazon but only rarely to get one or two odd things, the only good offer I got was marina for 100k but it's not really that good. Raymond went down by half the price (8mil -> 4mil), but it's still virtually impossible to stuff like raymond buy because people never want your offers

Also I'd say it's more like ebay rather than amazon-

It seems like part of it is that while Tbt has a sense of community which means people tend balance their desire to earn whatever their chosen currency is with their desire to form good relationships and be and supportive member of the community (or are pushed towards this behavior by the resulting price norms on the forum), nookazon seems more inspired by Amazon - instant gratification but an exploitative, everyone for themselves attitude prevails more heavily there. For people who like and accept that

obviously this is a huge generalization and I am sure there are a lot of good and generous people who remain that way while on nookazon.

full disclosure, I have never used nookazon and I never will. Not because I think everyone on nookazon has a bad experience, but ther are no trades I am desperate to make, and I have no real need to earn excess currency at this point in the game (except maybe tbt, which obviously I can only earn here). I prefer a forum like this one more focused on discussion and support. But so that is my personal bias.

I’ve actually been using nookazon lately to save on some tbt, and have found their pricing quite nice and low.
I recently have decided to get rid of all the flowers around my beach area and have been able to sell them fairly quick there.
For a lot of my wanted items I have also been able to get them quickly, and sometimes even free.

 

[SpaceTokki77]

When I used Nookazon back in May/June/July, i got so used to the prices to just offered 30k-60k on a simple piece of clothing. It was a routine
also, one time i listed a crescent moon chair diy for 200k and someone offered 32 Mil
they went through with it lmaoooo but I only accepted 10 mil
but yeah, a lot of the time i’m just looking for a simple item and they’re all like 100 nmt

nookazon users make their items super pricey, ive gotten so many offers denied because it's "too low" but it'll literally be around the average selling price .... it's honestly kinda annoying and i use nookazon quite often, but i'm usually on their discord and you can find more reasonable people and prices there

 

[Velo]

Sometimes I casually flip through Nookazon or Reddit and I see prices there and I go ???
I just want to tell them all to join Bell Tree but I also don't really post a ton on either of those sites and figure I would get heckled for "advertising" if I did.
I feel bad for people who get "ripped off" (I don't really think there is a ton of intentional maliciousness) but I mean it's not exactly extremely difficult to find the Bell Tree either? So I have to wonder if they've ever tried to find our lovely little site before.
I digress either way! Hopefully they find us soon, always good to have more people to trade with. Also, I hardly ever see / hear of anyone scamming on this forum (I don't think I ever have at all, actually). But sadly I have heard of it happening tons on both Nookazon and Reddit.

Coming from someone who used Nookazon for a long while I can tell you the prices are indeed too high. I want you to know I had to try so hard to get Nook Mile Tickets with bells but I kept getting turned down. Then finally on the 50th try I got accepted when someone had 50 nmts and my offer of 4 Million bells was accepted. The trade went well and I finally got them, but during that time it was such a pain to get nook mile tickets. That was until I got amiibo cards I did a lot of villager trading and I got alot of nook mile tickets from them.

The thing is there is a lot of people who tend to charge way too much because they want to get more out of the item they are trading for and not be too reasonable with the pricing. Most times it can be scams like if you see someone putting Raymond for 800 nmts you can tell that is not possible because you can only hold 400 nmts in your 40 slots of pocket space. Most likely that is a high risk of a scam because the seller wants you to go back to your island to get the rest of the nmts but then they would close their island and steal your nmts and you don't get Raymond.

My advice to you is to watch out for those type of prices and always look at the reviews of the seller before you make an offer. Most times if you see a 0 star rating or someone who has a few 5 star ratings proceed with caution because sometimes they would use fake accounts and give them 5 stars to make it look like people traded with them. It sucks how the pricing on that site is unbalanced but its how it is.

Nookazon is crazy expensive. My offer of 100,000 bells on two natural garden chairs was declined because the offer was too low. The prices are crazy inflated there.

 

[Sharksheep]

There's always people who will only take crazy offers but there's always reasonable people but you just have to keep offering to find them. I have to say their discord is a lot nicer than trying to work through Nookazon clunky UI.

When I sold on Nookazon, I typically took the first reasonable offer than wasn't an obvious low-ball like 1k bell for a highly sought after diy.

 

[Mu~]

I only used it twice, I trust more this site and some Facebook groups.

 

[MayorofMapleton]

I just do touch trades and item trades. Have worked for me quite well.

 

[maria110]

I enjoyed trading and shopping there until I found Nook's Cranny here. Haven't been on Nookazon in over 2,000 hours.

 

[peachycrossing9]

I use Nookazon regularly. The prices on there are very high and over the top. I sell and buy on there, and I usually try to make my prices for stuff as reasonable as possible, since everything is usually so expensive.

There have being a few times, where I think I have made a decent offer for something, and it got declined for being too low. People seem to just get greedy on there. Think it's OK to completely rip someone off for an item or a villager, which is really quite annoying and unnecessary.

 

[KittenNoir]

I know the people on their are very rude I was selling an item early last year on there for half the price it cost in the game cause I just wanted it gone from my inventory.

And this guy messaged me angry for selling it so “high” I showed him the in game price and said I was only asking for half then he was like like yeah ok whatever come over and give it to me now.

so I ask for his dodo code to drop it off and he never replied back

If you go to Nookazon you have to understand a few things. One, people are going to throw high prices and hope someone takes; there's a sucker born every minute though if you're desperate you'll get what you're looking for. Two, there's a huge disconnect between that and these forums. When you mistreat someone here or take advantage of them, word spreads. On Nookazon it's not going to come back on them much if at all, it's just considered business and you move on. Three, you can't expect fair prices following those. You'll find them if you're patient and if you've done your research, but it just feels like a gamble on comparison to here; my opinion anyhow. If you want to skip all what I've said and get to the point: If you want something now and don't mind high prices, Nookazon is for you.
