What's your best way to make Bells?

[Gandalf]

I remember I spent a few hours one night just running around my town, hoping that a Hercules beetle would appear on one of my coconut trees. I ended up catching so many giant beetles that my house was full of them, and I made a few hundred thousand bells in the end just from selling them all

I disagree. It takes a long time for your neighbors to pick something and it's often worthless furniture that sells for a few hundred bells. Once in a while they'll pick a fish or bug, but you can't sell it for much more than you would get from Nook, plus it's a very slow process. I usually participate in them for awhile, then stop bothering because it takes them so long to come or pick an item.

I always prefer fishing and bug hunting in the summer. The best bugs are out in mid summer in the late afternoon and night.

I still disagree, I can usually sell items for 1.5-2x the price nook buys them for at flea markets.

The day before the fleamarket i would just get all of the furniture out of my room and fill it all with bugs. That way all they choose is bugs and you could sell the bugs for twice the much they give you at nook. So in acww I would safe all the hercules beetles in my spare rooms and make quite a profit on fleamarket days.

I just removed anything I wanted to keep and fill the room with junk

I remember I spent a few hours one night just running around my town, hoping that an Atlas beetle would appear on one of my coconut trees. I ended up catching so many giant beetles that my house was full of them, and I made a few hundred thousand bells in the end just from selling them all

flea market or nook?

flea market or nook?

Just tom nook. Giant beetles sell for something like 10 000 bells each, and I had a a bucket load of atlas', cyclommatus' and scarab beetles etc as well.

I meant Hercules beetle before, that was one tricky beetle to track down.

oh, i didn't know if you meant the F-market or Nooks, but you can get way more from bugs at the market

Yeh, but my entire house was filled up with beetles, and the next flea market was agggeeessss away lol

That's the same thing I do, except, you may not want to invest in turnips until you are a player with many bells. Another great way to earn some bells is stuff your house and pockets with rare bugs and time travel backwards to winter, and the rare bugs that can only be caught in summer will be worth twice as much!

The BEST way to make money is through foreign fruit (fruits that are not native to your town). Find someone to trade you some and then cut down all your plain trees and bury the foreign fruit instead. Wait a few days and your town is a functioning Bell machine lol. One load of foreign fruit sells for 7,500 Bells (500 per fruit) at Nook's. A few loads, which are easy to obtain, and you're rolling in Bells.

bug hunting, fishing, stealing from recicling bin, talking to neighbors until they give me stuff to sell, selling fruit, flattering peppy villagers into giving me stuff to sell, action replay, ( thats how i get money trees.) and DONT call me a hacker just because i use action replay. im not seeding anybody, right? plus, i dont even have seed codes OR wifi

 

[Starsy02]

Silver Shovel + money rock in ACCF = a fair sum of bells per day

 

[Cloud]

Capture rare beetles at Night in the summer times, Nook gives you quite alot for them.

 

[Officer Berri]

I've always just earned my money by fishing in the ocean. I don't like the turnips and bug catching just doesn't do enough for me.

This is probably why I love the barred knifejaw so much. xD

 

[Juicebox]

It's a combination of the money rock, fish, and foreign fruit.

 

[Dylab]

I always catch fish and bugs I just go along my beach (I have like 50 coconut trees there or more) and I only catch the big fish and the beattles on the coconut trees

 

[Officer Berri]

Is growing the foreign fruit really that good? I've never actually tried it myself. Mainly because I don't like chopping down trees and I'd need to for any convenient orchard.

 

[jvgsjeff]

Yeah, for each foreign fruit tree, it will give you 1,500 bells every three days. If you have a couple dozen of them, you can see how that would add up.

 

[Officer Berri]

Wow. I knew about how much Tom Nook would pay for them but I never really though about how much that adds up! I'm gonna have to start an orchard in New Leaf!

 

[Trakker]

I resort to eating the animals and sleeping on the ground, no bells needed...

(I like growing lots of foreign fruit tress...)

 

[Toeto]

Loads of foreign fruit and fishing.

 

[Kaiaa]

I fish the ocean like crazy, sell foreign fruit, and hit the money rock for bells. I'll even send villagers pieces of fruit in hopes of furniture to sell! Easy money if you take off the cost for the package of paper (which is usually free since I seem to get them as prizes for errands a lot...and in the lost and found)

 

[Tammyface]

I've actually never (extensively) sold foreign fruit! Huh. Maybe I'll try in ACNL.
Late night bug hunting is my go-to money maker and turnips
