eBay sellers are making thousands of dollars selling virtual items for Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The Animal Crossing economy
Need a bit of extra cash? Looks like you can make a considerable amount of bank by selling Animal Crossing: New Horizons in-game items on eBay.
A number of listings have popped up on eBay showcasing all sorts of in-game items to buy. By far, the most popular items include ways to make bells extremely quick. For example, one listing is selling stacks of gold nuggets worth for $13.50, which will equate to 6 million bells in-game. This user has sold 366 lots so far, meaning they've made just shy of $5k.
As you might suspect, these sellers are most likely getting their items by hacking the game, and then turning around to sell the ill-gotten goods via eBay. I'm guessing Nintendo isn't too happy about all of this.
