Ridiculous auctions for ridiculous prices.

Not to add any more fuel to the dumpster, but I also know people have been creating shell users on their switches for ACNH to generate massive amounts of tickets and deleting the users from the device once they’ve served their purpose. It got brought up in the Discord server and while it isn’t cheating exactly, I don’t think it’s particularly honest practice. It’s very similar to two people using time travel to make a killing in the Stalk Market.

I agree that NMT need to be managed here because there is an onsite economy that can be negatively impacted once it is reinstated. That being said, I don’t think we’ll really achieve much else here beyond this point aside from talking ourselves in circles until TBT come back, so that’s my stance on the matter.

I'm really dumb, what are "shell users"?

Do what you want with in-game trades but it's disgusting seeing members get over 15k TBT from selling nook miles tickets within a few days. If you can buy them with RLC on ebay it should be BANNED from using for trade with tbt. Like DeviantArt points were and every other cryptocurrency. Doesn't matter how you acquire it

If Raymond goes for 950 NMTs in an auction, and nmts go for 25 tbt like ive been seeing, but I'll round down to 20tbt each, thats 19,000 tbt for 1 villager.

back in the good old days, one pokeball was worth a giftcard on steam..

Thats a pretty big claim and I cant seem to find anywhere on the internet where that is true.
I would like some proof. A simple link please.

Link or it didn't happen

at the risk of saying too much as per forum rules, at least one method is straight up the exact same duping mechanics new leaf had


also, to go further, yes the game has been hacked and undoubtedly at least a decent chunk of nmt in circulation are in fact illegitimate. and no, while I understand wanting compensation for one's legitimate efforts; be it hybreeding, cycling, or whatever else, trading legitimately obtained wares for cheated goods doesn't make those goods any less cheated. hacked or duped items don't magically become nonhacked or nonduped just because the current owner didn't do anything of the sort to obtain them, and any argument of such is at best one being in denial about the fact that they were gullible enough by the shiny objects placed in front of them to be scammed by cheaters or otherwise those in the know with such people and/or at worst simply a total deceitful lack of care so long as they get what they want in the end. which I can sympathize with the former at least, but the latter mindset is frankly just scummy af

this isn't directly to either of you, but unless my memory is wacky, I could've sworn there were also people demanding proof about hacking, when the game was literally already hacked before release. this is how we got info for things such as the roost supposedly being added later as a museum expansion and a possible gyroid wing (or if not that, then possibly the gyroid storage mechanics from city folk making a return)

I feel you.
Im exhausted from the circular arguments in this thread and I see both sides.
Im also really tired and I think its time for bed. At this point, its whatever. I feel like I got my point across and thats really all I cared about but I appreciate your input as its good to hear all sides of the argument.
Goodnight.

What the heck, not even Marshal got sold for that amount of TBT back then (before Welcome amiibo became a thing). I mean, Raymond is a nice villager and all, but come on, seeing those numbers and thinking about the whole values, it's crazy that someone pays almost 20k TBT for him.

Btw, is this NMT madness only a thing here in the forums or do people also offer these huge amounts on other platforms? (I only go for AC related trades here on Bell Tree, hence why I'm asking out of curiosity)

I'm on multiple platforms and it may have been from here. The other platform I'm on, amino, doesn't sell things for QUITE that much.. but they still do sometimes.

There's a fairly active villager trading subreddit and I've seen Raymond go for anywhere between 250 to 800+ NMT.

Having no amiibo card and people making high initial bids really drove up the price.
