Bothers in Re-tail

[oath2order]

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.

EXACTLY. I'd love to see if we could try and do that. Just get a horde of the unorderable DLC, and offer it to be cataloged for...I dunno, 25k apiece, and switch the host every so often.

All this lowering of the general prices of the flowers and the cataloging is only gonna last as long as you guys keep doing it. After that, it'll start to slowly go up again .-.

 

[oath2order]

If they rise, we'll start again.

I suppose (depending on the rules of the forum) we could start a merchant's guild that could help the issue by having the guild regulate prices in exchange for the shops being advertised heavily.

ie; you sign up for the guild along with ten other shops, every guild member has a link to the guild masterpost over in re-tail which in turn has links to each shop. Each shop uses at least the guild approved pricing, such as 20k or under for a hybrid.

I could go into more details about how it might work, but that's assuming something like this would even fly.

edit: I also do mean guild in the true sense of the word, not the one commonly used for mmos. A guild in that its a group of merchants coming together for a common purpose, rather then a clan of some kind. I'm sure there is a better word for it, maybe corporation? Union?

 

[poliwag0]

I think the word you're looking for might be alliance or partnership or something?

What's the point of lowering prices? Just like real life, prices rise and the people adjust to it. I'm getting over 10m for a villager, now I'm able to buy DLC items that cost 1m. Some people just want things more than others. Just be glad enough there isn't any action replay to cheat yourself bells and what not.

Oh, no, it's much better to overcharge for everything instead of AR.

I would be in for that.

 

[Farobi]

Make a guild pls. I approve of that! :3

I saw someone asking for 400k just to let someone catalogue his orderable DLC.

 

[link2398]

I'll pm a mod or admin about it to make sure that trade guilds aren't against any rules, once we have approval then we can start planning.

 

[oath2order]

Will we have restrictions on who can join? Or an application? Just putting this out there.

 

[link2398]

I'd say just an application and a check to make sure the price regulations are being followed, I doubt we'd need anything more than that.

Do we allow dupers?

personally I'm on the fence about dupers, so I'll let everyone else discuss that issue. I do want this to be more of a committee run thing than just my word being law.

 

[catman_]

No dupers. What's the point of rare items. -.-

 

[Scribbler397]

No dupers. It is against forum rules. We don't want to lose credibility.

Duping is against the rules. I haven't really read into what you guys are wanting to do, or have I seen anything on it yet. But whatever it is, make sure you're following the rules.

 

[Farobi]

Who in the world would admitedly tell the people here that they dupe anyway? -.-

I see a bunch of shops in Re-tail that sell a bunch of items, rare unorderables to be exact, for just something you can find on the game.

And lol someone giving 7/11s for free.

Idk, there are some suspicious people around here, but maybe that's just my speculation

 

[salarian]

I don't like it when people over price things. I understand it when it's things like Gracie Grace where it's seasonal, but people just charge waaaaay too much. Hairbow wigs, for instance. I know Gracie charges a lot for her stuff and people want to turn a profit, but from what I've seen, Gracie doesn't sell clothes over 20k (idk I might be wrong). I don't want to waste 500k on something I can buy later.

I also don't like how foreign DLC's are millions and millions of bells ;w;
Guys, if you're that desperate for bells, you can make about 400k per island trip (if you go for big beetles and sharks).

The online rules for the forum are only stickied on the train station board, I just read them today after looking there. I had wrongly assumed the re-tail rules were the same as the train station's post, so I never noticed the duping rule until now.

in the end that makes the stance on dupers easy.
