Animal Crossing New Horizons: Turnip prices could spike, but you might not be able to take advantage

Animal Crossing New Horizons is here, and players have been hoarding turnips to sell, usually hoping for a midweek price spike.

If your turnips are about to boom, letting you make a huge profit, there's a good chance you won't be able to take advantage. This is because 30 days after Nook's Cranny, the game's store is built, it gets a refit.

That's good news in the long run, allowing more item choice and if nothing else, a better-looking shop, but in the short term it closes the shop for 24 hours – that means there's a chance you'll miss the chance to offload turnips.

"But wait", I hear you cry, "what about the drop off box outside the shop?" Unfortunately, that's also off-limits, and "time travelling" by fiddling your system clock could end up spoiling your turnips.

If you're really desperate to offload your turnips, you can check out sites like Nookazon, Turnip Exchange, or Animal Crossing Discord Servers.
