That shyt is like 500 comments in the first 3 minutes talking about “I would love to visit and sell my turnips, my favorite villager is billy!”
Yoo wtf is that favorite villager thing?
why do people ask for that?
As silly as they may seem, they are actually quite helpful in helping you make bank if you got the patience to stick with it. Before the groups started to spread out on Reddit, there was this thing called this website called the Stalk Market that did the exact same but in a way more streamlined manner.
Folks would post their island prices and you'd jump into the thread and be put into a Queue using some system/program (I never used it) and it was a way easier way to keep track of who was waiting in line to join your island as opposed to what they do on reddit (The post your fave village shyt is a bit of a post marker).
But Nintendo started to crack down on that whole Stalk Market shyt 'cause basically the people that ran the website setup a Patreon to keep it running and I think they were accepting donations ontop of that and Nintendo doesn't want to hear you making TOO much money in this game and ANY actual money with it offline, so they cracked down on it hard. Plus, the a$$holes and scammers were in full force on that thing, posting Fradulent prices and doctored photos to trick you into coming to their island, paying a mandatory buy in (I saw folk charging upwards of 500K to a whole mil just to get on an island that was selling turnips for 400
) , taking your gold and then kicking you out of the island.
That's why the reddit groups like ACturnips became so popular in the midst of all this shyt. The people asking you random questions like "Fave VIllager, or what's your fave song" and all that shyt, use the responses to keep track of whom all they've let in or something like that, from what I've been told. Plus, they make it known that no host that's hosting there can charge a buy in and tipping isn't enforced, but welcomed.
So, yeah. I had two inventory full worth of Turnips lastweek that I was trying to sell, spammed a bunch of those posts on Reddit, got into two 600 selling islands and made, BANK.
So yeah, post and wait until you get a DM giving you the code so you can hop on and sell. It's a bit of a wait, but it's worth it once that link comes through.
