oh no no i'm not short on bells don't worry!! i have close to 20mil in the bank right now (i've been buying left and right though). i couldn't ask you for anything either way oh gosh. here's how i work the stalk market: i never sell in my own town and i almost always TT to a sunday to buy only if i am definitely going to be allowed into someone else's town to sell. i track a lot of relative tags on tumblr (turnip spike, turnipspike, turnip prices, turnip price, acnl turnips, etc etc) and i keep up with
http://www.reddit.com/r/acturnips/ where people will post their turnip prices, generally for 400+. i like to sell 500+ usually, but i'm not stingy as long as i am able to sell for over 400. i do tip, if i'm selling in someone else's town, which deducts a *little*, but not enough to leave much of a mark. i always come out w a couple mil B)
