I'd be happy to help too. you should put pictures on of the different items too, so people don't get confused, and think you are talking about a different item.

Some situations do sadden me but ultimately, there are usually people (such as yourself as you mentioned, I never thought I would get to have my own throwing beans!) that come through and keep things moving even for poorer players like myself (I barely ever hit 1mil in bells at any one time, and I could do something about it but I only tend to grind so much at one time, and prefer to barter in items etc.

I personally like to let people offer on items, or if I see them looking for it specifically, I go and negotiate, I don't set prices on my items and I don't like to offer cataloging unless it's free (so I rarely do it) as I think the items are worth something different to everyone. I certainly don't get by giving out rares for free, but I don't set a price on them either, if someone wants to barter exclusive for exclusive or whatever, I'm not going to stop them, as I'd end up with nothing fast, but I'm not going demand anything specific either, if I like a deal proposal, I'll just go with it *shrug*

Ok I will PM a mod about it now but pictures will be difficult as I rember that only 40 pictures can be put in a single post.
But we could link to pictures I suppose.

Someone has a flower shop and they were selling flowers for 100k each. I'm sorry but that is WAY TOO HIGH.

I love the TBT community, but when it comes to retail, nearly everything is ridiculously over priced.

People are at each others necks trying to squeeze as many bells as they can out of trades and auctions.

I've seen threads on other sites selling at a fraction of the cost of certain items in retail.
(Granted, the main reason for this is probably due to duping..)

Don't get me wrong, TBT is still the best! I just wish players would be a bit more relaxed about the market.

I don't mean to be 'that guy', but it's just a game..

I don't think there's anything wrong with people paying what they want; and I agree they're worth different amounts to everyone. I generally wouldn't give hard-to-find items away free either, especially since a few things I did give away immediately got flipped and auctioned off here.

I think what most of us are objecting to is when people are misled -- for example they're sold an overpriced re-orderable item and told it can't be re-ordered. Or a seasonal item anyone can get by time travelling or just being patient is sold as a "rare" DLC-type thing. If you KNOW you can buy regular glow wands in december for 800 bells or whatever and you STILL want to spend 100k now, go right ahead. But if you are being told they are ALL special items then you are being misled.

I saw somebody yesterday trying to sell a villager for 150 mil. Yes, one hundred fifty MILLION bells. I was like are you kidding? The most I'd ever pay for a villager is 1mil and thats only for my dreamies. Some people just have ridiculous amounts of money to throw around, and assume others do too. There was another person trying to sell one of the fireworks fortune cookie items for 300k ...... 4 people including myself immediately commented saying that those items are not rare anymore and you'd be lucky if you got like 2k for it. I don't think the person ever came back to the thread. Its ridiculous how much people want for things, and like others have said, I barely ever have 1mil at any given time so it sucks when someones selling a sofa I need for a set for millions. If I saw it that price in the game I wouldn't even buy it.

Then theres the people who want ridiculous tips for letting people come catalog things or sell things at their retail....A little tip is fine, sure, but when they want 500k+ for just letting you into their town for a second its a bit crazy. Its that point where I say never mind, have a nice day, and turn around and leave. I'm not giving you most of the profit I just made when I can easily go to one of my good friend's towns instead and do it for free.

The only time I got items then sold them was when I took them off my friends hands for 8k because she couldn't sell them, then realized I didn't have much room for it either and sold both items for 50k. I immediately went and PMed my friend letting her know and offering her half the profit, she was extremely cool about it and didn't want any of the bells. I DO think its wrong when people go and get a bunch of things for free then turn around and sell it for millions and don't offer any of it to the person they originally got it from. Yes, its their items now, but its the moral of it all. It would still be nice.

Another thing [lol I have so many complaints!!] is when people charge for fruit. I've seen people asking for 20k per fruit which is insane! They are incredibly easy to get on your own, you just need to go to the island or a friends town so people charging for them are a little bit rude in my eyes as well. I have an orchard in my town and I love giving others fruit! Maybe thats just me being nice, but I got them all for free from people as well.

Last thing is the flowers. I've seen people sell flowers that can be bought at retail for 2000 bells, for 350k+. Thats a little rude if you ask me, obviously the game doesn't think they are that rare or it wouldn't be bought for a mere 2000 bells.

Here is an idea:

We all lead a revolution of the Re-Tail board. If people refuse to pay the ridiculously high prices, then they won't be able to charge them anymore. Haggle down the prices until you can't haggle any more! People might realize that they are charging too much and might lower their prices.

 

[link2398]

Or we can start constantly selling at a lower price and drive the value down through competition with other shops. Who would want to pay 100k for a flower when multiple other shops are selling for much cheaper? The only issue would be keeping a steady supply long enough to force the price down.

 

[Scribbler397]

We should start with the hybrid market, because that has the biggest demand. I don't have any hybrids that I want to sell atm, but are there any tters who wouldn't mind tting a little to start a hybrid shop?

I've already got a flower shop running. I haven't bumped the thread, but I will today after I take inventory and adjust my prices.

 

[oath2order]

I don't get it. So, you're all going to lower the prices for hybrids, by hybridizing, then you're going to buy each others hybrids, which you're already growing in the first place, to lower the prices for said hybrids, even though you're already growing them?

We are growing hybrids to sell to others, not each other. Basically it'll be a series of flower shops like all the other ones out there already, but we just lower the crap out of our prices instead of constantly raising them.

 

[oath2order]

I misunderstood that a bit. I thought you were all gonna sell to each other to make it look like lots of people are buying and selling for lower prices, thus lowering prices.

 

[link2398]

Nah haha, on a side note I just sold out of all my hybrids, so uh yeah.. more shops would be a great thing.

I'd be interested in seeing a way to try and nuke the prices down in the cataloging market of holiday items and DLC.

Same idea as before, but with people getting to catalog for dirt cheap/free? In the end the person letting people in gets to rack up visits for the train station remodels. So its all a win-win.
