the Raymond hype is incredibly hilarious because people who know the incredibly huge (and even wholesome at times) discord for animal crossing know that Raymond has always been a special case for everything involving trading for him. in a particular case, he, out of 400+ villagers have a rule catered to him because of the chaos it wroughts to put him up for free

And you can get insta banned for failing even ONE of these steps

he’s for sale on eBay and apparently there’s rumors of faked/hacked Raymonds with inaccurate rooms that can brick your game going for $20, and even listed ones hitting an upwards of $1,000

what even gets me is the last listing here says “amiibo” when there isn’t an amiibo for him

things Raymond has also been on sale for and I’ve seen is:

>400 nook mile tickets. yes. 400. Sometimes 800.

>100 golden crowns (yes, the one that’s 1,000,000+ bells)

>150 MILLION bells, you can’t even carry that on your person. doing the math I’m pretty sure you have to go on and off someone’s island over 20 times

>40 pagodas

>and again, legitimate money for possibly hacked Raymonds

this one business “sexyman” cat has exposed the hubris of human greed in under 2 months and I am living to watch it down
