I'm moving her into another town, I have two. That was the original plan but my friend is on vacation and her 3DS is with her, so I can't use it.
The island and turnips.How do you all get so many bells, is it mainly turnips? i never know how many to buy
Looking to trade Mitzi for a villager i really like such as
Marshal, Ankha, Merengue, Tangy, Mira, Octavian, Agent S, Zucker, Sprinkle, Marina :3
Or another cute villager such as Ozzie
(My deal to trade Mitzi for Marina fell through)
Freya would also only go for a most wanted

I made my first few million doing beetle runs on the island. After that, it was mostly buying turnips and selling them in other people's towns; there's lots of communities around for that sort of thing. I did it for 3 weeks filling an entire letter of storage space (6,000 turnips) each time, but I know plenty of people who fill an alt's entire storage; but that kind of turnip trading takes a lot of time (just clearing out 2 storage panes can take upwards of 20 minutes with nobody else in town)! After that, I made a tonnn of bells auctioning a few of my rarer villagers, getting DLC items, and then selling DLC I didn't need for higher than I got them, etc.. There's lots of ways to make money that doesn't require duping or TTing in your own town heavily for turnips/hybrids! :3

I don't look at it from a gameplay side, but strictly from a business/economics angle.
You can argue supply and demand, since for the most part the villagers that are going for high prices are those that people specifically want. No one animal has less of a chance of appearing, but because of the pure desire to have them, people have seen this and have decided to bank on it. They've created a false market so to speak, and through it have jacked the prices up. As these prices go up and demand continues, some players resort to using other methods of getting money/villagers to trade for those coveted villagers--TTing, resetting campsites, item duping, just to name a few. In doing so, the market price for these villagers is subjected to inflation; suddenly 1 million isn't too hard to come by, oh, but 10, maybe that's more difficult. Eventually the bottom will fall out.
We saw this with the housing market. People got greedy and the price for houses capped then immediately fell to the lowest we've seen in a long time. It's Economics 101.
I'm guilty of it too. I'll trade up often times, taking advantage, and there are some people out there who will go out of their way to give others their dream villagers. But at some point it's going to become less of a game and more a chore for some, and they may stop playing as the market skews further upward.

I know you had him, but do you still have him? I know you are a very nice and considerate person, so I know you would treat him well

It's like getting cast in a movie, really. If someone pays 20mil for you, then odds are, you're going to be adored and loved and showered in fangirlishness/fanboyishness daily. The alternative to auctions is to give them out for free, and while that's really nice and all, there are plenty of people who have claimed popular neighbors for free only to boot them out, lose them in TT accidents, or turn around and re-sell them. There is no real way to statistically measure interest; having 1,000 posts about loving a neighbor doesn't mean you literally love that neighbor more than someone else who has posted 3 times. It seems that way, but it's not real proof, because liking/loving is a subjective. The only way to measure is through numbers, and bells/items are a form of numbers. So don't feel bad for those neighbors that get sold. People pay lots of money because they DO care about the neighbor. They aren't being bought for drug smuggling rings, they're being bought for dream towns. u_u; Personally, I always feel best when I sell a neighbor over giving them away, because if someone throws down some bells for a neighbor, I know that person must really want the villager. Can't say the same for the first person who says "me!" in a giveaway thread, though.

If someone buys a villager because they are a dreamie or gets them for free on the giveaway thread, I feel happy inside, knowing I've helped someone or someone was helped out. If someone has a villager I want and see them go, I feel sad inside.

Of course, I'd never trade him~

While I agree with the bulk of your points, even if the odds of any one neighbor showing up are all the same, it bears mentioning that the odds of that neighbor being given up varies extremely, and the conditions of sale are even more suspect. Lots more people will consider giving up PeeWee or Beardo than, say, Merengue or Lolly. Then you throw in the number of people willing to give up Merengue or Lolly, but not TT, or the people willing to give away Merengue or Lolly, but only to friends, or only to those who are listed first in a giveaway spreadsheet, and it becomes the situation we see now, where demand is fiercely strong for some neighbors and there's virtually no supply outside of people farming villagers on alt towns.
