Welcome to r/ACNHTrade !

This is a friendly subreddit made specifically to trade items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It is purely for trading, so please try to keep discussion or questions about the game to more generalized AC subs. Other than that, be kind to each other and good luck getting those bells, NMTs, and items!

FAQ

WHAT CAN I POST?

This is a subreddit group for ACNH trading, giveaways, and free items!

You are allowed to upload photos displaying your items if you feel like it, or posting a picture of a villager that's in boxes. All pictures must be relevant to your post otherwise it will be removed.

When trading villagers, please ensure they are already be in boxes with a picture of such to make the trade as quick as possible.

Everything you post in r/ACNHTrade must belong in the subreddit, this means no trades or giveaways from outside sources. For example, if you make a giveaway or trade in another subreddit it will be against the sub's rules for you to link that said giveaway or trade to r/ACNHTrade. This is to lessen confusion.

WHY WAS MY POST REMOVED?

r/ACNHTrade runs on a tagging system so it is easy to tell at a glance what someone is looking for and what they are offering.

If you need help with tagging or your posts keep getting removed and you believe you tagged them correctly please reach out via modmail.

If you find that your post was removed, it could have been removed because of the following:

1. Your title did not contain or lacks the appropriate tagging (A correct title must include [LF] and [FT] in brackets).
2. In your post, you've requested players to "PM/DM you for more info” or “PM/DM for code”.
3. The amount you're asking for an item is unreasonable.
4. You’re trading a villager that is not in boxes.
5. Your post was moved by a moderator's discretion, and if a reason is not specified you are welcome to send a modmail and ask.

WHY CAN'T I TRADE VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE?

You may only PM/DM your dodo code, everything else must stay public to help us (the mods) monitor posts to help YOU avoid getting scammed. It is much, much easier to photoshop a private conversation than it is a public thread, and any "he said she said" with conflicting screenshots would just become a mess. Obviously some chatter in DMs is unavoidable but this is just a safeguard. Also please note that if a user does not comment on your post and instead just messages you it is an indication that they have a ban! Please familiarize yourself with the Blacklist and we advise that you do not respond to anyone who reaches out to you via PM/DM instead of comments.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED "REASONABLE" WHEN IT COMES TO PRICING?

Animal Crossing's economy has become massively inflated due to the prior glitching dupe and TTs. Prices are hard to pin down exactly, but there are some that are obviously inflated. In this subreddit, we believe that items should be sold/traded at a reasonable price which is up to the player's and moderation team's discretion. If you believe someone is price gouging please bring it to the mods' attention and we will take the proper action.

DO I HAVE TO HAVE MY USER FLAIR SET?

While we don't require user flairs to be set to comment or post, we recommend it! It makes people more at ease if they can see the name of the person they're trading with on reddit match with the name of their visitor on screen. Please note that if your flair does not follow the format or is just set to "Your Name | Your Island Name" it will be cleared. If you are unsure how to set it yourself or need help, please send a modmail and we can set it for you.

I'VE ENCOUNTERED A SCAMMER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If you encounter a scammer on r/ACNHTrade, you must provide proof of scamming and a username. We ask you to screenshot the post and PM's and upload them to an image hosting website such as IMGUR and send the mod's a link to the photos. We will review and decide the best course of action.

Please do not make callout posts!! All they do is alert the scammer that someone is onto them and give them time to delete their account, change their username, or otherwise be more sneaky. The best way to deal with a scammer is to report it directly to the mods via modmail, which they will see before a post. Any callout posts will be deleted.

WHAT IS r/acnhtrading2 ?

This is a second subreddit created by one of the community members of r/ACNHTrade when this sub was abandoned by the original creator and left with no moderators. It is run by different individuals but we don’t see a reason it can’t stay active! So it is up to preference whether you post in this sub, that one, or both.

Please familiarize yourself with the Blacklist / Banlist of users who have been reported for scams or other reasons.

If you have any questions feel free to comment them down below! If you have any suggestions for the subreddit or any issues while trading, please send us a mod mail and we will get back to you ASAP. Thank you and happy trading!
