Welcome to Gaia! ::

Have a bunch of turnips and Nook not giving you good prices?
Here is where you can come to find out who has the good ones!



So if you find that Nook is buying turnips for a reasonable price, please choose from the following options to post and let others know!

WHITE TURNIPS

As white turnips are Animal Crossing's play on the stock market, Joan sells them for a different price every Sunday (90 to 110 bells). The number of white turnips you can buy does not have a limit, and each turnip will cost an average of around 100 bells. They are bought in quantities that are multiples of 10. Up to 100 turnips can occupy one item space (so, for example, if you buy 200 white turnips, two stacks of 100 will appear in your inventory). Stacks of white turnips cannot be separated like bells. (but two smaller stacks can be combined, e.g., put a stack of 30 onto a stack of 50 to get a stack of 80.)

After being bought, white turnips will rot at the end of the following Saturday, almost one week later. Rotten turnips have no value, but if they are left on the ground in town they can attract two bugs: ant and fly.

If you time travel to Monday from Sunday, the day you bought turnips, then time travel back to Sunday, your turnips will become rotten.
In Animal Crossing: Wild World, placing white turnips on top of a furnishing (e.g. a table) prevented them from rotting on a Sunday morning; this exploit was removed from Animal Crossing: City Folk/ Let's go to the City.

To make money off the white turnips, you sell them to Tom Nook. Similarly reflecting the stock market, he buys them for different prices everyday (except Sunday when the stalk market is closed). The prices he buys them at changes at 12:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. (Nook 'n' Go is open from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.) To turn a profit you need to sell them for more than you bought them from Joan, so try to find a day where Nook has a very high buying price. Typically prices range from 30 to 600+ while actual prices range from 29 (verified) to 637 (verified). (Claims of 13 to 654 are reported.) "Time-travel" is adjusting the game or Wii time setting in order to take advantage of game mechanics. If you time travel forwards using the Wii time setting, the game will not detect it. Detected time travel results in rotten turnips.

You can also sell turnips in friend's towns over Wi-Fi, so if their Nook has a high buying price, ask to visit their town. Even if your friend has a different date in their town, the game will not consider it "time travelling" to visit, so turnips you bring will not rot.

You can also take turnips in your pocket using the DS suitcase. If you want you can "time travel" on the main game with a different character. You can then return with the turnips to your own town and they will not rot even if it is weeks latter when you return. One should note that there are only 15 slots in your pocket available for turnips.

White turnips in your possession can be left in your house or on the ground in your town. The former decreases your HRA score, and the latter negatively affects your environmental status.




RED TURNIPS

A red turnip seed can be bought for 1,000 bells, though Joan only sells one each Sunday. Planted like flower seeds, fruits or saplings, buried red turnips need watering everyday or they will wither and be rendered worthless. Watering a withered planted red turnip with a silver can revives it: the following day it will act as though it had just been planted. A buried red turnip will grow a small amount each day. It can then be dug up with a shovel and sold to Tom Nook, who pays an amount of bells correlating to how long the turnip grew


Nook pays
Days Buried : Bells
0 : 2
1 : 100
2 : 500
3 : 2000
4 : 4000
5 : 8000
6+ : 16000

Once a red turnip has been dug up, it will keep forever without spoiling (useful if Nook's is closed after the 6th day the turnip is buried because it means you can simply dig up the turnip and then wait a day until Nook's opens again).

I've been wondering, since the first animal crossing game all I ever do is sell fruit. (but I do make a pretty good payload, probably 250k every time I harvest) Are turnips a better option?

I think so, especially if you go to a town that has HIGH turnip prices.
For example, a few days ago I bought 150k worth of turnips. Later, I found a town that has 512 as the buy-back price. I pretty much got near 700k from selling them. <3
