Animal Crossing: Wild World/Crazy Redd

Redd is an sly, clever fox that comes into your town once a week to set up a tent in front of the town hall. Then, Redd sells all sorts of useless junk to the uninformed visitor at very high prices. Certain items sold in the tent are considered "rare" Redd items. These items, if bought at Redd's tent, also have an HRA bonus. To determine whether or not your item is a special Redd item, please consult the Master Item List. Redd will also sell you items that appear very commonly in Tom Nook's store--these have no special HRA value, so they're probably worth skipping unless you want to pay a pretty penny for them,sometimes he may scam you into buying them as "Rare"

Redd is in cahoots with Lyle the Insurance Scamsman. If you have yet to meet Lyle, Redd will show up on a random day during the week. When you buy insurance from Lyle, however, he will allow you to ask when Redd will come into town. Redd will continue to come on this day as long as you do not change it with Lyle. Every time Lyle appears you can change the day of the week Redd shows up.

The first week Redd shows up may be tricky because he will not send you a password in advance. Before you can shop in his tent you need the weekly password, which changes regularly. Talk to your villagers, at least one of them knws the password. One of them will eventually cough up the information you need. However, even after you get in the tent you need to pay a one-time fee of 3,000 bells before Redd allows you to buy anything. After you've paid Redd off and joined his "family" he will send you his new password every week in the mail. Be astute "cousin".
