She's down to 33 bells for me. I'm probably not going to mess with turnips after this week, unless there's a Badge for it.

There are, actually. You get the gold badge for selling 10 million bells worth of turnips. I forget the requirements for bronze and silver.

Saving up bells will get you badges too; to 1 million for bronze, 10 million for silver, 100 million for gold.

Prizes from the post office is different though.

100,000 bells: Tissue Box
500,000 bells: Letter Set
1,000,000 bells: Piggy Bank
5,000,000 bells: Aluminum Case
10,000,000 bells: Post Office Poster
20,000,000 bells: Safe
50,000,000 bells: Deliveryman Cap
100,000,000 bells: ATM

So Joan is selling Turnips for 110 Bells each in my town, last week I only had like 1 day where the price was higher then that, yay or nay on taking a risk at that price?

First week not buying turnips for awhile. I have enough bells to last me awhile and I'll probably be a bit busy so I held off. Feels almost wrong!

Turnips are 110 Bells in my town today. And I was finally going to invest (because I usually sleep in on Sundays)... :/

Joan selling for 101.

I hardly spent anything this week, so I have plenty of bells in the bank to turn into mega-money.

If anyone is in need of decent turnip prices, Joan is selling them for 90 bells each in my town (the minimum price). I've got about and hour and a half before she leaves town.

Even with a maxed-out house and all the exhibition space, storing 'nips is still a chore.

I managed to squeeze 1.3 million's worth of them eventually.

Cleaned out my storage and, literally down to the final storage slot, just managed to stock 1.3m worth of turnips at 101 each.

Profitzz

Maturity, bitches.
Oh well. Forgot to check mine since I work up just before 11 and had a relaxing breakfast straight away.

Perhaps I'll consider buying them from someone else later.

Probably just going to buy 6000 again like last week. I'm content with that amount.

It's a good balance between profitz and storage headaches

I think mine was about 110 or so. Put in 400k, hopefully I don't get decreasing pattern'd this week.

EDIT: This is my first time doing this, just wanted to check something quick. If I have the late night ordinance set up, I can still check Re-Tail between 6-8am, right? I have to leave the house around 7:50am for work, so that would be my only chance to sell if I hit the jackpot before the 12pm price change.

Lol, wish I had that much space/money... only dropped somewhere around 1.5 mil.

Oh right, wanted to ask - can museum rooms be used as space? And does laying turnips around town affect the rating at all?
Click to expand...

Yes, you can put things in the museum like another room in the house.

And yes, laying ANYTHING ON THE GROUND will kill your Perfect Town rating by 6 am.

Items on ground: No more than 10. This includes Fruit and Lost Items.
Click to expand...

Less than 10 items on the ground. (Not counted: sea shells, fruits, mushroom, flowers and buried pitfall seeds, gyroids, fossils)
Click to expand...

Something tells me... individual fruit should be fine. I don't see why not baskets. But yeah, I wouldn't risk it.

I bought 600,000 bells worth of turnips off of a 90/turnip price. Was lucky that my town had that low buy rate, even helped a few friends out.

Man.. That must have taken forever to buy, store, and then buy some more!

Since I have a perfect town rating I always check to see if I or any visitors haven't left stuff on the ground somewhere. I just really want to get this done in the first 15 days if possible. The thought of going on a 10 day streak and then have to start all over again gives me nightmares :p

So I guess the only safe spots are:

1. Storage
2. House
3. Museum

?
Click to expand...

Yup! But the best thing is to have a pattern slave and filling up his locker. I bought a little over 19.000 turnips by completely filling up his locker and some of the space from what he can carry. Leaving a few open spots to carry tools.

Hmm, that sounds good... though I hope the house placement doesn't work me over.

In that case, let's see the maximum slots available to store anything safely... it would be 846, making the maximum amount of turnips you could hold safely at one time be at 84600. Price range would be [7614000, 9306000]. Assuming min sell price of 20, and max at 644, revenue would be [1692000, 54482400]. Profit would be from [-7614000, 46868400].

I have no idea why I did this :p

You should try factoring in how many trips that will take. My 4 million investment that turned into 25 million took me 3 trips.

Hmm, all right *eye glint*

And a small correction, since I forgot that you can't attach turnips to envelopes (why...)

83600 max
Buy [7524000, 9196000]
Sell [1672000, 53838400]
Profit [-7524000, 46314400]

Now for trips... for each trip, you can "hold" 19600 - 18000 in closet, 1600 on you.

At 19600 per trip, you'd have to take 5 trips to sell everything. During each shop run, you can sell 1600 at a time, so you'd have to run 13 times to sell your stash. Barring efficiency measures, and assuming the following times:

2 minutes to talk to station manager and connect to person's town
2 minutes per shop run, 1 minute per locker withdrawal, times 13.
1 minute to go back to your town
10 minutes to "fill" your bag/storage again

total time taken is 260 minutes, or 4 hours, 20 minutes...

Profit/minute range (rounded) is [-28939, 178133], without regard for time spent buying the turnips in the first place.

Comparing to bug-catching...

Assuming effort is put into catching solely golden stags and horned hercules, and a minimum island time of 30 minutes:

Profit: 12000 * 40 = 480000

Profit/minute: 1847

aheh...

This is amazing! I should have you to do Perfect Fruits too. :3

While I'm here and have numbers... :p

Looking up info, it seems that the price of selling fruit varies from 100 (native) to 3000 (non-native perfect)... so!

Assuming 846 slots (envelopes = yes), and an indeterminate amount of time spent growing so many perfect fruits... :D

Max fruit: 7614
Per-trip carry: 1854
Trips: 5
Time/trip: 52 minutes
Total trip time: 260 minutes (4 hours, 20 minutes)
Profit range: [761400, 22842000]
Profit/minute: [2929, 87854]

To be fair, I only did bugs based on one trip. Let's see what happens when you increase the stakes...!

Slots: 846
Max bugs: 846...?
Per-trip carry: 206
Trips: 5
Time/trip: 52 minutes
Total trip time: 260 minutes (4 hours, 20 minutes)
Profit range: [10152000]
Profit/minute: 39047

Comparison:
Code: 
Bug catching:   [ 39047,  39047]
Perfect fruits: [  2929,  87854]
Turnips:        [-28939, 178133]

And in terms of setup time, bugs << turnips <<<< fruit... phew.

I bought 1000 turnips for 91 bells each. Looking back on it, I probably should have bought more. I hope I can find a good selling price versus the investment. Shouldn't be too hard.

I think this is it for now :p

Profit maximum assumes both a Wealthy ordinance, and the item being desired by Re-tail. Turnips aren't desired I think, so max only reflects Wealthy ordinance.

Where's the turnip man? I can't find him. Is there a time limit for turnips?

Edit: Play the game between 6AM and noon on Sunday

Oh god fucking dammit.
