The official Nookazon logo

Nookazon.com (Pronounced /nʊkæzɒn/) is a fan-made website that allows players of the 2020 video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons to trade and sell items in-game using their services. The website parodies Amazon (company) as they both provide similar services, although more closely resembles Craigslist and e-bay.

The website allows users to discover other players selling a specific in-game item and buy the item for a set price or after propose an offer. In addition to in-game items such as furniture, fruit and clothing[1], the website accommodates for trading "villagers"[2][3], in-game inhabitants, and NPC visits, which occur periodically. The website also has an official Twitter account (Here) and an official Facebook account (Here).

The name is a portmanteau of Amazon and Tom Nook, one of Animal Crossing: New Horizon's main characters[4].

History

Nookazon was founded on April 9th 2020[4]. The website was founded and is run by Daniel Luu, a 25-year old software developer also known as squishguin on internet platforms[5]. The website went viral after Daniel Luu posted a TikTok about it. After that, internet traffic on the website surged from 6,000 to 180,000 overnight[5].

The website is run by a trio of young developers and thirty volunteers moderators. It has received regular updates in order to improve the experience[6]. The ability to follow users was added June 3rd 2020; counter offers were added on June 20th 2020; the website was given a redesign and giveaways were added on July 3rd 2020; and integration with the Twitter Catalogue Bot (Twitter found here; Website found here) was added on July 17th 2020.

The website has 270,000 daily users and reaches seven million page views a day[5]. It has over nine million item listings.

Trading

The various item categories of Nookazon

The website does not carry out the trade itself; it shows a catalogue of items, that in turn display potential sellers[7]. In this respect, it functions more like the online marketplace e-bay. The website forbids the use of real-life currency; it instead is built off of Animal Crossing: New Horizons's currency of "Bells" and "Nook Miles Tickets". [5] The website has more than nine million item listings [8].

The majority of the website's trading is done either on the website itself or on the accompanying Discord Server[9]. The website has a comprehensive listing of all the items in the game, created by use of spreadsheets provided by the community [5]. Sellers can add listings for items, and opt for either the buyer making an offer, in "Bells" or "Nook Miles Tickets", or listing for a set price[10]. The Buyer then makes an offer and the Seller has the option to accept the offer or deny it. If the former is chosen, the seller then asks for a "Dodo Code", an in-game tag that allows players to visit another player's island[11]. The players can communicate via Discord, Instagram or Twitter accounts that they have linked to Nookazon, or message each other from the Nookazon message function.

The trade is then carried out in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. After the trade, the messenger chat is archived and the option to leave a review is given. Reviews can be one to five star and can contain an optional comment. Reviews can be used to identify scammers or badly intentioned traders. Known scammers can be reported on the Discord Server or on Nookazon itself. Users that scam are not banned; instead they get a red flag on their account, indicating that they are untrustworthy traders[12].

Nookazon does not support bug and fish trading as these cannot be dropped in-game[13].

Player Safety

The site is designed to be safe for players to trade in. Inevitably, it cannot be completely safe, but the developers have put in place various measure in order to remedy the various dangers.

Dangers can include buyers or sellers visiting islands and attempting to ruin it, or selling items for high prices in order to scam the buyer. To prevent such occurrences, developers have created a "Safe Trading Guide" which outlines the various strategies that players can use in order to keep themselves safe from scammers, found here. It describes the review system, trading and what players are able to do when visiting you. Reading and considering reviews is recommended, especially when dealing with high profile trades, such as Villagers.

Auctions

Players are able to carry out auctions for any item they are selling instead of listing it. The auction can span from one hour to twenty-four hours[7]. The winner of an auction or the seller must carry out the trade within 48 hours otherwise they are subject to reporting. New bids on auctions extend the auction if it is close to completion.

Shopping Cart

After a buyer offers a price for an item, the item appears in a shopping cart[7]. The shopping cart contains two categories: "Open" items are offers that have been offered but not accepted or denied; and "Accepted" are items that have been accepted. There is also a "History" category which contains a log of items that have been requested and either completed, accepted or denied.

User Interface

The User Interface of Nookazon is designed around item listings, much like e-bay. The user is able to search for a specific item, user, or Discord tag. Alternatively, users are able to browse the main categories of items, independent of the search function[7]. Items are displayed with average price and a picture of the item in-game. After selecting an item, the user is redirected to a specific item page. On this page, it is possible to view a graph of the average price over time, sellers, auctions and users who are looking for that item. After selecting a seller, you are able to make an offer for the item, or pay the requested amount. It is also possible to see the average price on Nookazon and the sell price for the item in the game's primary shop Nook's Cranny.
