Nookazon has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Just a few minuets ago I had a girl come to my island to pick up an item I was smart enough to block off my island with a stall however she took her item and the item that was meant for someone else then left a nasty review the person on the top was the sweetheart who didn't get his item I refused his tickets because she stole his item now I don't think I ever want to trade again

I like to use Nookazon to get colorways for clothing items I don't have. Other than that, it's kinda useless for me. I pay 4 bucks a month for access to a bunch of treasure islands that I can go to as many times as I please (queue notwithstanding lol). It's way cheaper than any other for-pay service I've ever seen and there's no limit to what I can get. Lots of people on Nookazon are so 'profit' focused it actually disappoints me. It just makes no sense because it's not like you can launder bells or NMTs into anything that actually has use outside of the game. With the recent amiibo release, it's kind of sad/funny to see people charging obscene amounts of NMTs for villagers most players have a handful of other methods of attaining. May as well be getting paid in Monopoly money. I'm currently sitting on almost 1000 NMTs myself that I do zilch with. 90% of 'em were gifted as tips from giveaways or turnip hosting and I just don't use them. At this point I'm gonna start giving those away too.

Eventually, I got sick of the rackets. Now I just go to treasure islands, fill my pockets with hot items then give them away for free to anyone who asks. It's my way of saying eff-you to the greediness I see in this community, and it's fun to gift someone the stuff they'd searched high and low for. Animal Crossing is supposed to be a no-stress experience. Let's keep it that way.

I was just on there trying to find a medieval building side and a throne. Just trying to touch trade and my offers were either denied or ignored. I thought they were fair offers but whatever, Nookazon. Ugh. Trading on there takes forever just to find someone who is online and will accept your offer.

Since the 2.0 update people on Nookazon have started to overcharge crazy amounts of Nook Mile Tickets for the new items and villagers. The main issue is that people take forever to trade with and they have a bad habit of not changing their status. I quit Nookazon since it was starting to be come mentally draining.

Exactly. I was only on there for half an hour but it was so tiring. And it's not like here where you can just read threads and post while you wait.

thats very true! ill be still looking for raymond, but im going to be more careful

Hey, if nobody else has offered... I have his amiibo card I won't ask for much maybe just whatever TBT you'd like to spare. I'm sorry you almost got scammed people suck :/

 

[Tiffany]

Sorry that happened, some people are jerks. I haven't used nookazon in ages myself and what few trades I did went just fine. I never tried to get a villager on there though, they want too much. i stick to this site and this site only. I have done many trades on here, villager trades included, with no probs at all. I really hope you got your stuff back.

Nookazon is my last resort for things if I'm in the mood of "I need this item NOW bc I'm decorating and if I don't pace it right this second I'll explode". My first stop is always here, the Horizons Central Discord, a couple of other discords between friends/acquaintances/classmates, and then I try nookazon.

Thankfully, I've had no scamming issues but I've had so many rude people experiences. Everyone is so entitled on there, but I'd rather nookazon stay up and they stay over there than people like that flooding over here.

That was posted in May 2020, so I'm pretty sure they're good by now

TBH, I kind of forgot Nookazon still existed, lol. I've TRIED using it, but never received replies to offers, so there ya go. Even with all the new items, I'm sticking to TBT where I've never had any bad experiences.

 

[moonshi]

What a horrible experience and I just can't believe people would scam others. I have been to nookazon a few times clicking on some trading links but the site and the bidding never pull me in. I still only TBT, reddit and discord and *knock on wood*, so far so good.

I told myself that I wouldn't do it. I told myself that spending NMT's on Nookazon for Raymond would lead to trouble. I decided against my reasoning and tried it anyhow. Someone actually accepted my offer for him, and I was a bit sceptical but very hopeful that I'd get him. Turns out my instinct was right...I specifically told the seller that I'd drop half, talk to Raymond, then drop the other. The seller agreed. Seller seemed so legit, they even sent me pictures of proof that he was in boxes, along with his seller name. I come over, drop half, then seller leads me to his house. I go inside, only to see that he's NOT in boxes, and at that moment, seller tries to end session. I, of course, errored, then reported and gave seller a bad review. It was such a waste of time and I feel so stupid for actually thinking that I'd get Raymond from Nookazon. I don't look at the site the same way anymore, honestly. I know that it's the seller's fault, not the website but come on...

I just got his amiibo from Etsy.. idk it was $14 after shipping

I’m sorry this happened to you. It sucks that people stoop so low to scam on a video game, especially one catered towards a younger audience. It’s something that happens quite a bit on Nookazon, and even more so with villagers. I have only ever traded or purchased items on there, so I’ve avoided the scammers. You just have to go into it expecting bad things to happen. It’s unfortunate that it is this way, but nothing can be done. Nookazon is a shady platform in general.

he had 0 reviews, so i had nothing to go off of. also, yes, he had his name in the pic

Good for you for quick thinking and reaction! Many would've just frozen in shock and not have gotten to do that! I haven't had a bad trade as yet thankfully, but I do know there's so many scammed out there. Very unfortunate.

Ah yes, another nookazon roasting thread *rubs hands together*

I only used Nookazon pre-2.0, but I remember it being a hot mess. Everything was super expensive, people wanted rare, unorderable items for stuff you could buy from Nook's Cranny, I CONSTANTLY received the wrong color of stuff, and as for villager trades, I was never directly scammed, but I would always get a plot for a villager only to learn that they "don't know how to get a villager in boxes" EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE LISTED AS BEING IN BOXES. I've had plenty of GOOD villager trades, but to be completely honest most of them were low-tier villagers being given for free or incredibly cheap, so they didn't really have much to gain. Once prices started getting ridiculous and the ACNH high wore off, I gradually shifted to TBT. My islands are always in development, so I tend to save my bells and NMT.

Also, someone very early in the thread mentioned a discord server where they advertised fake "treasure islands" and rare items...and that p***ed me off more than anything. Finally thinking I got a kind soul giving an item for free only to see "JOIN OUR DISCORD SERVER FOR A FREE TREASURE ISLAND AND 9999999NMT" Or whatever. Out of curiosity, I joined a few of these, and surprise, surprise, they weren't real. Though, I'm glad I didn't say anything, because if reports of spamming are true, that's just ridiculous. Stuff like this is why I tend to only join servers that friends or colleagues make. It's past the point of blocking or reporting because 1) The Nookazon staff doesn't seem to care and the report process is already tedious as heck anyway, and 2) I swear these accounts are like a hydra. You block one, three more are created in its place.

Yessssss, they always want the most rare and/or high cost of igb or nmt for super simple items!!!! It was so hard to find decent and reasonable traders.

TBT is the only place you need look for anything. Nookazaon is so overpriced that you can't use it unless you time travel anyway. The currency on TBT is earned by contributing to the community, either through posting or providing a service, so greed doesn't really come ihto it... hence, no scamming (or very unlikely anyway).

So far any time I've wanted something I've been able to get it from TBT.

Sorry you had a bad experience, but the prices on Nookazon threw up so many red flags it only took me a few seconds to tell it was a bad idea!!

for the most part ive had good sellers on nookazon HOWEVER a lot of folks on there Say they are selling an item, but upon accepting the offer they wait FOREVER to go to your town, or open their gate. some of them never even respond to your questions about the item that youre purchasing, or *and this happens to me quite often* if i have a better deal for them i wont offer anything, but i Will try to contact them via messaging to let them know what i have in exchange, which they usually never open the message to find out what im asking about. it gets frustrating sometimes!!

Yeah thats the biggest issue with them. They take so long and they act so aggressive when you cancel the trade then give you a 1 star review as if you were the rude one.

You should always check their reviews and feedbacks before trading with someone on Nookazon. I think it's the only thing that can show whether they're trustworthy or not. I've been scammed only once because of that, but so far after trading for a year there, everyone with good reviews is trustworthy.

That maybe so, but it doesn't change the fact that they take so long to respond. The most lame excuse I hear them say is that they forgot to change their status. This even happens with sellers who have higher seller rating.
