==Turnip Market== | |||
Every Sunday morning {{Nook|Joan}} will come to your town and sell you {{Nook|Turnip|turnips}}. These don't have a set price, she can sell them from 50 bells to 2000 bells. From Monday to Saturday, if you go to Nook, he will quote a price that he is buying turnips for, again, from 50 to 2000 bells, a different one every day. You want to buy low, sell high. The turnips you buy on a Sunday will rot by the following Sunday, so it's a bit of a gamble trying to wait for a high selling price. | |||
If the price is above 500 bells for the turnips on Sunday, it's not a good idea to invest unless you have a lot of bells spare. It's fairly rare for the sale price to go much above 750, and it's often below 500, so you stand a high risk of losing a lot of bells. Invest carefully. | |||
