So, another question for you old timers.... Peajays' 1 million bell crown made me think of it. How do you make money? I know the tips for beginners and I've been making a lot by deep sea fishing. But how do you more advanced folks make your money? Deep sea fishing does make a lot of money but it would still be a long time to 1 million bells, never mind all the other things to spend it on. Just planning ahead.... Turnips. I made about 1M bells last week. I started out by investing my profits from the previous week; now I just buy however many I want to. This week I bought a lot because either DH or myself is due for a large spike. (Plus if a Pea shares a good price, I can sell there.)

Iphi were you talking to me on your island? I only saw “let me know” so I assumed you were talking to someone else but then it looked like I was the only one there. Sorry if I ignored you. It's ok! I was just trying to get you to take some of my flowers. ^.^

dawnnikol THANK YOU again last night for the crazy, unexpected surprise! I was visiting my parents last night and I bought my game so I could show my 80 y/o mom my island. She used to play City Life and loved it and for the life of me I can't find her a Switch anywhere, they are crazy sold out still. Anyway, I told her we'd go visit another island and lo and behold you were open (I didn't come here to the boards at all). Imagine my surprise and delight when you said you had 'something' for me..and then it was another SOMBRERO! I was so excited and my mom was too! I mean, honesly she was asking me 'who are these people you play with?" I had already shown her my little mercado and explained how rare it is to get these sombreros and how my Pea friends were so generous, and then here we land ond Party Isla and you give me ANOTHER one! So now I have a blue and a red one. <3 I honestly love them SO much! Anyway, between you and @missjen and her giving me the cafe walls my mom was certainly impressed with how nice everyone is here. She loved your island OF COURSE. Ahh..I love playing with you guys! I'll come back and post if I have decent sell turnip prices. I'll try to make the rounds before I get my day started here. <3 you all have a lovely Sunday! don't forget more fireworks tonight, we only have 4 weekends to enjoy it, and I personally LOVE Them! I wondered what you meant about your mom and now it allll makes sense! I'm so glad she was there for that. I'll be open tonight for anyone making fireworks rounds (after I hop a bit). I'm going to try to get a pair of star boppers like Jen mentioned!

Just planning ahead.... You can make big bucks when you sell fish and bugs to CJ and Flick. I also had 2-3 really great turnip profits....buying below 100 and selling above 500. And honestly, now that my house is complete....I keep making money and can’t spend it fast enough.....I have almost 8m bells in the bank. I’m thinking my next step might be adding another player profile to my game to add a 2nd house to decorate as a themed building. Hospital or a b&b.? I haven’t decided We did a dream visit the other day and they had an extra house that was a hotel! It was amazing! I think it was jelli isle: DA-5052-3955-7964

Should I be saving my fish and bugs for them instead of selling at Nooks? I can't imagine I could wait too long because my island would be overrun by all the cages and aquariums. lol

Just planning ahead.... Look for my LONG post a couple pages back on this very topic. I was able to pay off every expansion loan to completely upgrade my house doing the stuff I posted and didn’t do the stalk market at all. That’s millions of bells when you add it all up. I just bought my first turnips today when DD didn’t want to bother with it and wanted to play Splatoon instead.

Save for CJ and Flick, even if it means stacking up the cages and aquariums outside of your house in some out of the way place. It’s absolutely worth waiting to get the five star island rating to get the big money.

I can't imagine I could wait too long because my island would be overrun by all the cages and aquariums. lol I set a threshold. Any bug or fish under 1100 bells gets sold. Anything over goes into my storage. If you have to choose between them, save fish- they are generally worth more. And then save wasps.

I ended up buying 500 turnips on my island because it was getting close to noon. Then, oh yvonne posted about her price, so I went there and bought 2600 more. Gonna need a good price this week! As of now, im supposed to have a large spike, but that never pans out!

The low value stuff either gets sold or thrown back. I have a stockpile of the gigas giant clams and vampire squids in my storage that I really should just sell to the Nooks though because CJ won’t take them. It seems a little weird that there isn’t someone like CJ and Flick who will pay more for the sea creatures.

Last call for free flowers! Please come take purple hyacinth, purple tulip, there are green mums.
Everything right behind resident services in the grid (except the rainbow strip that borders it) is free to take, including gold roses. I'm standing in the middle of the section.
I'm going to trash most of them, so come on by!

Hi everyone. If I have been to your island and don’t talk I apologize. I’m struggling with the chat portion. I use the handheld most of the time and the chat function is miserable for me. I’m not trying to be rude

Ok. I had one lonely fossil in my storage today because I found it last. Finally took it over to be assessed so I could gift it, and it ended up being my final fossil! Wahoo! And I’ve decided that my next project will be a greenhouse area.

Ah... so CJ/Flick only take fish like fish from the rivers and ocean, but not creatures from deep sea fishing? I don't do much river/ocean fishing with a fishing rod... Are CJ's/Flick's prices for those fish more than the Nook's prices for ocean creatures?

Are CJ's/Flick's prices for those fish more than the Nook's prices for ocean creatures? Yes, only river, pond and ocean fish caught with a fishing rod. CJ and Flick both pay 1.5 times what the Nooks will pay for fish and bugs, so you want to maximize that by hanging onto the higher value ones until they come. Also, I haven’t forgotten about your Dreamy Sweater. We accepted your friend request but DD said she thinks you have to play together before we can mail you something. It might be easier to order it and plan a time to meet up at some point to hand it off to you in person.

Will the value of the fish that I could sell to CJ (or Flick...whichever one does the fish) be more than what I'm getting from selling ocean creatures to Nook's? I find the ocean fishing to be easier so I would only spend more time on rod fishing if it was financially better. Dreamy Sweater -- I can come to your island to get it, no problem. Maybe that will trigger the friend thing. I think I had to do that with ohyvonne also.

Maybe that will trigger the friend thing. I think I had to do that with ohyvonne also. Yes, fishing rod fishing will get you more money because those fish will sell to CJ for half again more than what the Nooks will give you for the same fish. There are some valuable sea creatures but there isn’t a NPC (non playable character) like CJ for those that will pay you more for them than the Nooks will. I don’t waste time on any of the fish with the small or medium shadows (unless you want to catch them to donate to your museum). I go around and scare all of those away by running up to them, teasing them by tossing out my hook and then pulling it back when they start to come up to it, or smacking my net in the water to chase them off. Doing this will “clear the spawns” so to speak, so there are more opportunities for the big fish and sharks to show up, then only spend your time trying to catch those. The sea bass and black bass are the bane of our existence in our house, LOL. We catch so many of those and toss them all back. I don’t keep much of anything under $800-$1000 bells. I look for the big money fish like the sharks, koi, aripaima, dorado, giant snakehead, saddled bichir, napoleonfish, gar, barred knifejaw, both kinds of turtles, arowana, coelacanth. There are some others but these are the ones that I know without looking up the values that I should automatically save. ETA: I will order the sweater and send it to DD today since she plays way more than I do and she is the one everyone is friends with, LOL. It will be in her mailbox tomorrow so at some point after that we can connect so you can get it.

Today is "no screens" at our house and I am DYING!!! I just want to play on my island. We got our human in real life chores done and even did some of the around the house projects but I am DYING! I need everyone else to cave and beg for screens so I look like a "good mom" but I need them to hurry their buns up We got a 1000 or so turnips (hubby bought them so I am not sure how many) We are really enjoying the mystery islands. After the kids go to bed we head to over to mystery islands and make $$$$ since I got the final upgrade to pockets this morning we will be able to make even more WOOOHOO! I am trying to get that chat app on my phone because I am a slow typer on the handheld. S U P E R S L O W Thank you all for making this game so much fun. I have had so much enjoyment from this thread this week, your advice, visiting and just interacting. Thank you!

Can I beg for a Silo if anyone has an extra one. I bought it early on in game and then sold it to make inventory room or gave it away. I can’t remember and my new farm really needs a Silo. It’s not available atm. 😔

I think I'll make more money by deep sea fishing and selling to Nook's. I'm sure I catch more fish in a shorter time, and I hate running up and down the beach with my fishing rod searching for fish. lol

Mail is absolutely fine, I’m taking a wee break until fireworks start here. I spent 3 days (and an ungodly amount of bells) completely redoing bits of my island which I’m finally happy with (so far, still wip) but now have a mighty headache, oi. 😂 Need to not look at a tv/screen for awhile...and what do I do, come to peas and read...not helping. Haha.
