When to Sell Turnips
|
|
Sell When Turnip Price is 50 Bells Higher
Although you can sell Turnips throughout the week, it's a good idea to wait until the sell price is at least 50 Bells more than the price you bought them, so that you can earn a sizable profit.
Take note that there is no guarantee that you will ever be able to sell your Turnips for this much within the week. If you're not much of a risk-taker, any price above what you paid for should be acceptable.
Peak of Your Turnip Price Pattern
If you're able to identify your Turnip price pattern for the week, you may be able to figure out when your Turnip price will be at the highest.
For a sudden spike trend, it's recommended to sell after the second price increase. For a downward trend, sell your Turnips immediately, because the price is not likely to go up. For a slow spike trend, it's recommended to sell after the third price increase.
If you have a standard pattern for the week or a pattern you can't identify, you can sell your Turnips as soon as the sell price is higher than what you paid for.
Always Sell Before Sunday
If it's afternoon on a Saturday, you'll want to sell your Turnips regardless of price. Your turnips will rot after the week ends, making them no longer fit for the Stalk Market. Any sale is better than your Turnips rotting!
However, you can always just use Dodo Codes to fly to islands with high buying prices at any time of the week!

Buy Turnips from Daisy Mae
Turnips can be purchased from Daisy Mae every Sunday morning. She can be found wandering around your island until it hits noon.
You can only purchase Turnips in bundles of 10, so expect to pay 10x the price she offers for them. It is best to buy Turnips from Daisy Mae if she's selling them for less than 100 Bells each. This makes it easier for the turnips to turn a profit.
Sell Turnips at Nook's Cranny
| Day | Every day except Sunday |
|---|---|
| Location | Nook's Cranny |
| Time of Day | 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM |
You can sell Turnips at Nook's Cranny any day of the week except Sunday. Talk to Timmy or Tommy to sell items, and select your turnips to sell them.
You can also check turnip prices without selling them by asking Timmy or Tommy.

Sell Prices Change Twice a Day
 |
 |
The sell price for Turnips changes twice every day: once in the morning and once at 12:00 noon. Since you can check two prices a day for a week, you have a total of 12 different sell prices each week.
Always check Nook's Cranny each day so you can easily determine the best possible sell price for your Turnips!
Turnip Price Patterns
How to Predict Turnips Prices
| Current Week's Pattern | Next Week Pattern Chance | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
| 1. Standard | Low | Mid | Low | High |
| 2. Sudden Spike | High | Low | Low | Mid |
| 3. Downward Trend | Mid | High | Low | Mid |
| 4. Slow Spike | High | Mid | Low | Low |
There are four turnip price patterns that you can encounter in the game. These patterns determine the trend of turnip prices at your Nook's Cranny for the week—whether the turnip price will increase or decrease each half-day—as well as give you an idea of the price pattern you can expect the following week.
If you can identify the price pattern for your current week, it can help you determine when it would be best to sell your turnips the following week or whether you should buy turnips for the week.
1. Standard
For the Standard Turnip Price pattern, the buying price repeatedly rises and falls, and generally results in a small profit.
If you bought Turnips and get the Standard pattern, it's recommended that you sell it when the price rises even a little.
2. Sudden Spike
The Sudden Spike pattern is a pattern where the buying price suddenly shoots up, and is the pattern that gives the highest profit!
Most of the time, the selling price peaks after the price has gone up twice in a row.
Note: We have repeatedly tested this and got the best price after 2 price bumps, but it's not a 100% guaranteed result.
3. Downward Trend
The Downward Trend pattern is the hardest pattern to turn a profit, with the price starting low and continuously going down - often never once going up.
This pattern has one upside; the pattern following week has a high chance of becoming a Sudden Spike.
4. Slow Spike
The Slow Spike pattern is characterized by a steady increase in Turnip Prices, and is the second best pattern to turn a profit on.
The best price is usually the one after the price has gone up 3 times.
Note: Most of our testing resulted in this, but it's not 100% guaranteed that the best price will appear after 3 price bumps.
Time Travelling Guide for Turnips
Only Time Travel within the Week
Once you've got your turnips you can time travel to any date within the week! This means you can jump to a date and time with a better price at Nook's Cranny.
But be sure not to time travel too far! If you time travel past Sunday all your turnips will rot.
Do Not Time Travel Backwards
Turnips can also rot if you time travel to a previous day in the week. If you time travel, make sure to only do it forwards in time, to a future time or day within the week.
Rots on Sunday Morning
Turnips will rot one week after purchase, on the same morning Daisy Mae appears to sell them. The last opportunity to sell Turnips is at 10:00 PM on a Saturday evening.
How to Make Money Fast with Turnips
Sell When You Have Pattern 2 or 4
The best times to sell Turnips is when you hit the Spike of either the Sudden or Slow Spike price patterns!
The best of the two is the Sudden Spike, but since the weekly patterns are mostly random and a matter of luck, it takes a long time to predict when it will happen.
Pattern 2 and 4
2. Sudden Spike |
4. Slow Spike |
Visit an Island with a High Sell Price
If your friend or an online player has a high Sell Price on their island, you can visit them with Local Connection or Online to sell your Turnips there.
Offer and find Turnip prices on our Turnip Price Board!

Efficient Selling Between Two Players
| Recommended Prices (Two Players/Islands Required) |
|---|
|
・ An Island with a turnip price of 500 Bells in Nook's Cranny ・An Island with a turnip price of 90 Bells from Daisy Mae |
This method requires Time Traveling, but is an efficient way of earning bells through Turnip Trading.
One player time travels to a day when Turnip prices are high, while the other time travels to Sunday when Turnip prices are low.
Both players will alternate visiting each other's islands to maximize the profits from selling Turnips!

wrong, it’s actually more fun to time skip, plus your basically disagreeing with yourself when ou say the fun part is building your island since if you don’t time skip it’s gonna take month untill you can finally start building it.
