can i keep lost items? if i keep them over a day are they mine?
Yep, you can keep lost items after the day has expired. You can do whatever you want with them. Personally, I have two pouches, one item bag, and a book!

Would anyone care to explain to me how villagers are sold? I have Bam and I learned that he is very popular and I would be interested in selling him but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance :3
Ok, first off, a warning: you should always be careful when trading your villagers. Only trade with people who are highly rated or if you are going to be receiving the payment first! (Which is what I always do when selling a villager)
There are a number of ways of selling your villager:
-Auction
-Selling
With an auction, you set a starting bid, a minimum bid, a buyout, and an auction end time with the preferred timezone. Usually auctions are set up a few days ahead of when the villager is in boxes. So an example might be:
Selling Bam
Starting Bid: 2M
Minimum Increase Bid: 500k
Buyout: 15M
End Time: 8PM EST tomorrow
Auctions are good if you know when a villager is going to move out and if it's a popular villager, you'll likely get the buyout you want for it. I would research the prices.
I would recommend selling if you accidentally time traveled too far and the villager is already in boxes - you usually won't have time for a good auction and likely will not get your buyout price. You can set your selling price to a buyout price that you would like and hope for the best.
Now that you've set up the pricing for your villager, you need to have your villager ready to move. To sell a villager, you need that villager in boxes. That is, when you load up the game, Isabelle will tell you "Unfortunately, [this villager] is going to be moving tomorrow." Check their house and sure enough, everything will be packed into boxes. THIS is when the actual transaction happens.
Now, the actual transaction. The buyer must have space available in their town (I would never sell to someone who does not have space because you don't know how long it will take them to get a villager out, you might get their villager from the void and honestly, I just don't have that patience). Anyway, you invite the buyer to your town and they should give you the payment first.
If paying via bells, set up items in Re-Tail with the price. For example, if you sold Bam for 8M bells, then use the Re-Tail slots to set up random items and set their price for 999,999 each. If the payment is made in items or flowers, let them drop the items off first.
Once the payment is given, go to the villager's house. The person should be able to talk to the villager and convince them to come live in their town. The trade is done at this point. You have your money, the person has their villager, everyone goes home happy.
