I don't really care, but it'd be nice for the villagers to be free.
Selling vilagers, yes or no?

I have no reason to think this but it feels to me like a mixture between forceful relocation and slavery.

Kind of like a slave trade tbh? I always feel a ping of guilt when I'm like "hey, so if I SELL you this villager..."
Because they have feelings? And personalities? And they're normally nice to me? And I'm just shuffling them off to make a quick buck?
But you know w/e bc PROFIT. PROFIT IS EVERYTHING. WHO NEEDS FRIENDLY ANIMAL TOWNSPEOPLE. PROFIT.

I've been enjoying it. I especially like looking for harder to find villagers. I've been really wanting Blanche and finally found her! Nobody has her anywhere it seems. I will say, though, I like just seeing what random people are at the campsite.
If "trying to profit in any way from a bunch of pixels is silly", then we should also question selling items. Though no one actually "profits" because their profit is virtual currency too.
Do with your town and villagers and whatnot whatever you want. And if I can villager basically for free just because I posted on this forum a few times, I sure as hell won't complain.

I have no problem with it; in fact, I'll probably do it if one of my more popular villagers decides to move. Usually when someone in my town moves, it's Tier 4 or Tier 5 so I don't even bother selling, I just do giveaways.
That said, I'm not one to cycle. I prefer to just play my game as is, and if one of my villagers happens to be moving away...well, why not see if someone else will take them instead of immediately voiding them? I just kinda give away villagers as they decide to leave, that's the easiest and most natural method in my opinion.

I use the word adopt instead of sell. It sounds...not slave-like. And yes I put villagers up for adoption, it's a good way to earn bells and somepeople do trades. I like adopting I feel gulity if I just et my villager seep away into *shudders* the void

I'm fine with it, people gotta earn their TBT somehow.

I don't care.
though I won't do it myself because I'm not comfy with the idea. I don't need anything for villagers anyway.

I honestly don't mind people buying/selling villagers or having cycling towns or cycling shops. I personally don't have any dreamies ever since I lost Aurora in Wild World, so I haven't really experienced much of the villager trade myself. But others doing it is totally fine with me, just as long as they don't void uglies into my town
They don't have feelings, though. They are not real and can't understand what takes place outside of the game in order to get their data from one town to the next.
The comparisons to slave trades and such in this thread are honestly rather insensitive, seeing as human trafficking is still (very, very sadly) a widespread thing, illegal though it may be. Pixel animals who are part of a game's programming are not comparable to this.
I'm either fine or don't really care, if someone wants to sell them, I don't see how that's any different than selling anything else in the game, like rare items and such. I paid a crazy 20 million bells for the 7-11 stuff before duping was common in mid-2013, and didn't mind paying for it, it's why I had multiple players to begin with- make me money!!

I don't mind, I will buy a villager if I really want it and they're my dreamies. I think it's a nice way to make some bells/TBT and some vilagers could he worth a lot depending on different factors, though giveaways are nicer since it can feel like winning an animal crossing lottery. But yeahhh, I haven't bought a villager yet I've had most of my starts since I began the game so about five months lol
