Title: Stalk Market
Post by: UncleBob on December 19, 2005, 03:32:38 AM
So, I've heard that some Nooks' have been spotted offering as much as 300+ bells per turnip!  So I figure we should have a Stalk Market thread...  If your Nooks' ever offers over 100 bells per turnip, you should post here so we can all come to your town and sell.

300 bells! Holy shmit!

I made 60,000 from Turnips the other day, it was Sunday in my town and Saturday in KNs town (wild world indeed), and I was buying as much as I could for 100 and selling them for 122, made a few trips there and back.

Good thread idea!

I did not see the turnip lady yesterday, Did she not show because of the fishing tournament?

300 bells O_O

I didn't buy fromJoan yesterday cuz I was low on cash and they were 122...='(

Also, has anyone else experienced Nook's 50% off sale?  It happened just the other day, I cleared the place out.  I'm not sure, but I think it's a clearance sale before he renovated, because it seemed to be the final hour before the upgrade to Nookington's began.  This might not be the case though, because that would mean he'd only have that sale three times in the whole game, and that doesn't make too much sense...

Wait, you can sell white turnips at a friends shop??

That's a pretty big exploitable loophole.

I upgraded to Nookingtons the other day and have never seen any 50% off sale.

Actually three was a 50% off sale at Nookington's not long after I posted that

Holy fark i've heard someone who's Nook is buying turnips for 555 bells! HOW HIGH DOES HE GO? WHERE DO THESE TURNIP CRAVINGS COME FROM?

Mine is currently buying them for 195 bells, if anyone is interested.

Crap, why did I have to be sick the last two days and miss out on Mario's good price...
Title: RE: Stalk Market

Whoa, Nook here is paying 45 bells for turnips today! Come on over everyone!
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: WuTangTurtle on January 04, 2006, 08:45:16 AM
171 bells!

By the way i just got the game last week and im clueless of where and when you can buy turnips, if its in the mornings then thats prolly why i haven't had the chance to buy em.  plz let me know!

Sunday morning before Noon

Post by: mltsy on January 08, 2006, 06:39:29 AM
I'm confused.  Do you all live in the same place, or how do you visit each other's towns to sell turnips?
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: WuTangTurtle on January 08, 2006, 10:54:30 AM
You can visit Nook in anybody's town either wifi or ds to ds.  Which means you can buy or sell things to a friends Nook if your Nook is closed, which includes turnips.  So if someone else's Nook is buying turnips at +100 bells, well then you can run to your friends Nook and make a wise stalk trade!

Id like to visit one of y'alls towns just for fun if you dont mind.  I have yet to visit a town online and I just wanna see what its like, maybe score some foreign fruit and see stuff at nooks.  My FC and such is in my profile.  Ill bring something if y'all want but I dont have any fruit right now (save for some turnips).

anyone's Nook buying turnips for 120+ ? I'll give you 30 turnips if you let me come to town to sell them
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Mario on January 21, 2006, 08:21:02 PM
I just bought billions of turnips, if anyone gets a day where Nook is buying for 200+ bells let me know.

Does the turnip lady only show up during a certian time?  Because I've missed her the past 3 weeks...

I sold all of my ~4000 turnips for 166 bells each at 10 AM, then logged in during the afternoon and Nook was buying them for 473 each .  I didn't realize he could change his price in the middle of the day.  Anyways, he's still selling them for 473 and it's 6:30 for me, so if anyone wants to visit my town  in the next few hours and sell turnips my friend code is 5240-4906-0440.  If someone does visit, all I want in return is for someone to buy an item from Nook so he can upgrade.

Post by: jtownzen2 on February 02, 2006, 02:39:03 PM
Nook is buying turnips for 480 each, and it's currently 5:30 PM for me.
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Mario on February 03, 2006, 05:22:34 AM
Good price, damn seems I missed out.

Is there anything special about your town that gets you high turnip prices so often?
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Shecky on February 03, 2006, 02:15:48 PM
I think the price changes right around noon (not verified, but seems like a logical transition).  In fact the price in the morning might be the same as the previous evening, but I'm not entirely sure.
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Mario on February 03, 2006, 04:46:01 PM
Yep, there's one price from 8am to 11:59am, and the other from 12pm to 11pm. The first price is generally a few bells higher, but sometimes they trick you and make the first price a decent amount then jack it up a whole heap at 12pm after you've sold your turnips, like what happened to jtownzen2.

So this is my first Sunday since I bought the game (I got the game last Sunday actually but I slept in...a lot)...I'm wondering, is 99 Bells a good price to buy Turnips at?  I've got around 21 thousand on me...
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: kirby_killer_dedede on February 05, 2006, 04:02:32 AM
Wait, what the hell?  You have to buy em in tens?
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Toad0787 on February 05, 2006, 05:23:24 AM
uhh no it just says 10 on the item screen but it is really 100.  
Title: RE:Stalk Market
Post by: kirby_killer_dedede on February 05, 2006, 09:01:20 AM
No, you can only buy in increments of 10...that's why when you type 10 it's actually 100, that's 10 10's...
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Bill Aurion on February 05, 2006, 04:42:11 PM
Did you want to only buy one turnip?  Seriously, what the heck?
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Toad0787 on February 05, 2006, 06:10:26 PM
so you're mad that you cant buy like 53? what is the problem?

Sorry for the delay, and for missing the PM.  I thought maybe no one was using this thread any more by the time I'd gotten the game, so I didn't check for a while after late at night the last day I posted.  Anyways, those were my first two weeks of buying turnips, and I think it was probably just a fluke that I got a really high offer both times.  I didn't see anything over 127 this week.

I'm desperate. =[

Aw man, Nook is buying turnips for 538 bells today, I HATE BRIGHT NIGHTS I HATE JOAN AND I HATE NOOK AND I HATE MY LIFE. I'll probably never see this price again.

Your hatred is misdirected, you should hate the Mayor because he creates such useless festivities!

Oh yeah! If he wasn't so busy scratching his ass at the front of the town hall I wouldn't be in this mess.

What is Nook buying turnips for in your town today?  I'm at 107, bought mine at 91.  I'm looking for a Nook willing to pay top Bell for turnips.  :-)

Anyone in the 3-500 range?
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Caliban on March 25, 2006, 08:09:56 AM
Does anyone have a good price on their turnips now? If you do tell me 'cause I seriously need to sell mine and the mother *uckin' Nook the whole week gave prices under 90 Bells to me, bastard!

I'm on #planetchat just in case whoever wants to trade friend-code, my friend code is in my sig space btw.

Edit: I'll give you 50,000 Bells!
Title: RE: Stalk Market
Post by: Caliban on March 25, 2006, 11:33:28 AM
Forget it, I'll sell my $630 000 worth of turnips and lose half, no prob for me, I'll gain it back pretty fast.
