Before discovering this website I was trading on another Animal Crossing website that would just let you post your dodo code.
So you could write what you were looking for or you could get another’s dodo code to fly over to help them or just visit.
At first I would just go over to visit and bring other players my native fruit. And I would see players visiting these islands stealing flowers, fruits, money from money trees an even items that were left on the floor.
So I started going over to people islands to trade cause I was worried that players would come over and take my items. Cause at the time I had a lot of things laying around on the floor.
The first time I tried trading with a player I had fenced my island and posted the dodo code online (also on the website you can pick how many people can see the code) so I selected only one person can see it.
The player comes over really lovely we trade items and they thank me and leave. As soon as she leaves I see the someone is on the way message. Then that keeps happening and I end up with 4 random players on my island out of nowhere and they are all using voice chat screaming at me and swearing calling me disgusting names.
Telling me to give them my items and to un fence my island. I end up turning off my switch shocked at what the hell happened. As I only selected one player to view my code after that the code would delete.
I then contact the website telling them what happen with the screen shots of the players and typing out the words they were calling me. And they basically said they didn’t want to help or care.
So I left that website and found Belltreeforums and I’ve been having such a lovely time on here everyone has been so helpful and kind. And I look forward to the many more years online

I’ve online traded a lot but I’ve slowed up recently as I have what I need now. Mostly use Nookazon as still a bit unsure how tbt work. I’ve done about 500 trades and had 1 bad experience only. Nookazon is overpriced but I’ve made good amounts of igb and nmt trading on it so I can’t complain!

trading is really convenient, but hard to do when u don’t have anything to trade with. that’s why i’m kind of taking a break from acnh. i had like 900 tbt on here now i’m down to like 200? 100ish? and i’m not even halfway done my island. i only trade on here bc the prices elsewhere are ridiculous and i’m just familiar w the system on here. i have so much i wanna get but i cant :-( and i don’t have much to offer on my end so i cant really get tbt fast other than posting ..
I traded a lot when I first started the forum... It has slowed down now as I need less stuff, and so has the forum. Because of that I have been doing more trades on nookazon, it is a lot faster, as almost everything is available immediately. But the prices here are a lot better so I try to get stuff from here when I'm not in a hurry
I really enjoy the cataloging aspect of playing this game. I like having a "library" of furniture options to play with. Because they've designed this version of the game to make it very hard to get color variants unless you trade with others, I trade a lot. It can be a bit nerve-wracking but really, almost everyone I have traded with has been friendly and considerate. It helps that I try to stay within the TBT forums but even on Nookazon I have had good experiences.
For the most part, I have nothing but good experiences when it comes to trading be it on this forum or my experiences using reddit/discord/nookazon. Without trading, I wouldn’t have completed the art part of my museum as easily, get the DIYs that I’m missing as quickly (like the mermaid/seasonal ones), or be able to get the color variant of Nook Miles items that I like.
I don’t really consider myself as addicted to trading per say, mostly only trading as a last resort or when there’s a good deal going on for something that I like. Although at times even though I’m not looking for anything in particular, I just really like to browse the trading part of the forum, sometimes Nookazon/reddit, rarely discord but I often just trade on here so that might be why I don’t really have bad experiences yet what with majority of the people here all being nice and friendly!

I've always liked trading on TBT (for NH and NL) and I've had really great experiences! I try not to go overboard in NH since we have limited storage but its definitely really fun and makes items a lot easier to collect since I personally don't TT regularly.
That being said, I feel like this AC game especially makes online trading almost a necessity for getting different color variations of items, since there are some things you literally cannot get on your own. This paired with the fact that you have to pay real money for an online membership really rubs me the wrong way.

I usually do stuff myself, trading triggers my social anxiety, and people are too greedy or rude, but since I'm taking a break from TT to experiment something, I'm forced to trade. Doesn't help I'd have to do it regardless to get black streetlamps.
I've only traded on Reddit/Nookazon, but thinking about trading here because from what I've heard/experienced, people are nice and fair. Reddit is alright, but Nookazon... Delusional. I didn't realize a single stack of wood costs 10 NMT.
I don't believe lowballing exists unless the seller publicly put down the minimum prior, because everyone has different views on what's fair, or they're very new players who don't understand pricing. I had an offer denied because apparently paying for an item that averages at 150k bells, exactly that amount (or slightly higher), was "too low". I'm not too upset by it because NMT apparently average at 50k, and I'm used to it being 100k, so it just feels inaccurate. I'm fine with pricing being subjective, but put down the minimum amount you're hoping for so it saves people the pain and embarrassment.
Some are too impatient. I'm willing to wait 5 hours to trade, but others will cancel your offer if you don't respond or join their island within 5 minutes. Someone got a low rating because they were having uncontrollable problems, and that's apparently considered an excuse. I'm terrified to even be 30 seconds late, lel.
Regardless, with the exception of a few duds, my experience was fine.

I've only traded on TBT and everyone has been super kind, patient, and understanding! I've traded for unorderable items and art for decorating my island. As much as I hate waiting for Redd, I know that I won't feel as strong a sense of accomplishment by donating artwork that I traded for versus painstakingly waiting for the world's worst cousin to visit with real art pieces I don't already have.
As for villager trading, I always get excited at the thought of a villager asking to move out because it means I can go villager hunting on Mystery Islands and my list of desired villagers is beyond just a handful of villagers. Thus, I can't really see myself trading for villagers for at least another half year.

i've never traded on here before, mostly nookazon, discord, etc.
i've met some bad eggs here and there, but the majority of people i have traded with were super friendly; online trading is pretty tedious sometimes though bc of the (unecessary) dialogue

I like trading when I can, I've mostly done so here. Discord is good for getting things fast, (though now the official Animal Crossing discord channel is like jumping through hoops just to get the marketboard) I think this a good place to trade because you can use TBT (the fourm currency) as well instead of just bells or NMT. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience here. I just wish I had more time and better internet to trade, because sometimes my internet will disconnect before/during a visit...

It's been only a few months since I started trading, but I find this very addictive and very interesting. I like the thrill and the money of course. Investous trading has been my go-to platform when it comes to trading and so far, so good. I started trading because I was bored in quarantine, but this has quickly become one of my favorite activities, even now. I don't know much about it yet and don't have much experience, but I'm looking forward to learning more. What trading platforms you like the most and why?
