every sunday i spend 1,500,000 on turnips - i would buy more, but usually after i get about that many, i get annoyed at the process of only being able to buy 990 + 400 from joan and stop.
selling turnips is the best foolproof way of making bells. i've been reading this and seeing some people saying you could lose a lot of money... maybe if you're looking at doing it for one week... but look at this example...
the first week, i spent 500,000 bells on turnips, because that's all i had. this was back when i was broken, lol. i sold all of my turnips at someone's town that had a lucky 584 price. i made like 5,000,000 that week.
the next week, i spent 1,500,000 and got back 6,000,000.
the next week, i spent 1,500,000 and got back 4,000,000.
the next week, i spent 1,500,000 and got back 8,000,000.
this week, i spent 1,500,000 and bought my turnips on sunday for 104 each. with that money, i bought 14,423 turnips. there's 144 spaces on the ground in my town... covered with bunches of 100 turnips... let's say this week is a BOMB week, and the highest price i can find on TBT or in my nook is 66 (that's the lowest i've gotten in my town, for the record). i'll have to deal with it, sell them, and if i did that, i would make back 951,918. i will be losing 548,082 bells, but compared to my previous weeks... uhh... sorry to say, but that's not exactly that big of a deal to me. i can handle losing 550,000 bells one week and then making 5,000,000 to almost 10,000,000 bells in the weeks to come...
i hope this makes sense to people. it really humors me when i see people saying things like,"OMG IT'S SUCH A RISK... U CULD LOSE SO MUCH IT'S SUCH A RISK!!!11" because really... no, it's not, lol. especially since this game is on-line, we're in an animal crossing community, and you're not bound to your one and only nook. maybe if you time travel, don't play every day, or for some reason physically can't run turnips to other towns it would be a bad idea... for the majority of people posting on this forum though, i don't think that applies to too many people.
