Yeah, Gooch, I wanna trade! If you give me a peach, I'll give you a cherry (you CAN trade fruit, right?). I have a couple NES games and some other cool items, too. If you want to e-mail me, just click on the Mario icon above. Or we could type the trading codes right in the forums, I guess. Please let me know if you're still interested in trading!
Note on how to get money quickly: Tom Nook will buy the shells and corals found at the beach. Picking those things up is quick business, and they all return if you quit and start up again.
Some fish are worth a lot, too.
