Re-Tail is a shop inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf that is operated byReese andCyrus. The player can sell items to Reese, and Cyrus cancustomizefurniture items. Additionally, the player or can put items up for sale in the shop's flea market for a price of their choice to be purchased by other players or one of the town'svillagers; villagers can also place items of their own for sale.
Unlike all other permanent shops inNew Leaf, which are located onMain Street, Re-Tail is located in the player'stown. By default the shop is open from 9 AM to 11 PM; the Early Birdordinance makes it open three hours earlier, and the Night Owl ordinance makes it close three hours later.
Beginning in theWelcome amiibo update, the shop's carpet, theoil-stained floor, can be obtained from Cyrus'sRV. The oil-stained floor also appears inAnimal Crossing: Happy Home Designer alongside the shop's wallpaper, the pink shanty wall.
Selling items[edit]
Reese can buy any item from the player for its full price, unlike theNooklings, who pay 80% of the full sell price and cannot buy certain types of items. Additionally, Reese can tell the player the currentturnip price, and Re-Tail is the only place where they can be sold.
High-value items[edit]
The sign outside Re-Tail lists a different item or type of item each day that can be sold on that day for double its usual sell price. This mechanic would later return inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons forNook's Cranny.
There are eight internal groups of items that can be chosen as the high-value item. The chance each group has of being chosen varies based on the month:
| Group | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 20% | 20% | 15% | 10% | 10% | 20% | 15% | 15% | ||||
| 1 | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 15% | 10% | 10% | 10% | ||||
| 2 | 15% | 20% | 15% | 15% | 15% | 20% | 15% | 20% | ||||
| 3 | 5% | 15% | 20% | 25% | 20% | 15% | 5% | 5% | ||||
| 4 | 20% | 15% | 20% | 25% | 20% | 15% | 20% | 20% | ||||
| 5 | 15% | |||||||||||
| 6 | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 10% | ||||
| 7 | 20% | 10% | 10% | 5% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 20% | ||||
Once a group is chosen, one of the item or item types within that group is then chosen as the high-value item of the day:
- Group 0
- 70% — randomfruit
- 30% — random perfect fruit
- Group 1
- ⅓ (~33.33%) — any furniture
- ⅓ (~33.33%) — any wallpaper
- ⅓ (~33.33%) — any flooring
- Group 2
- Group 3
- Randombug
- Group 4
- Randomfish
- Group 5
- Randommushroom
- Group 6
- Randomshell
- Group 7
- 25% — anygyroid
- 25% — randomore
- 25% — anyumbrella
- 25% — anyK.K. Slider song
Normally, one high-value item is listed each day, but through a hiddenStreetPass points system, up to five can be listed. Each StreetPass any player living in the town receives gives a single point, and reaching certain point thresholds increases the number of listed items by one; the number of points for the town resets each day. Additionally, having the Bell Boomordinance gives a permanent five points, making for a minimum of two items guaranteed regardless of StreetPass.
| Points | # of high-value items |
|---|---|
| 0–4 | 1 |
| 5–9 | 2 |
| 10–14 | 3 |
| 15–19 | 4 |
| 20+ | 5 |
Flea market[edit]
There are 8 item flea-market slots in Re-Tail where the player or villagers can purchase items or list them for sale. Villagers who enter the shop can be convinced by the player to purchase an item that is for sale, and they will display any furniture items purchased in theirhouse.
Player items[edit]
- This section is astub. You can help byexpanding it.
The player can list an item to be sold and set their own price. The item can be purchased by other players or by a villager; the lower the price set, the more likely a villager is to buy an item. The maximum price an item can be listed for and still be bought by villagers is 1 Bell less than 4× the normal sell price, or 10,000 Bells, whichever is lower. Once an item is listed, its price can be changed, or it can be taken back. If one of the player's items are sold, the Bells earned are automatically sent to theirsavings account. If a villager buys a player's item while that player is in the store, they will pay directly.
Villager items[edit]
Villagers can also list items to be sold at the flea market, which can be bought by the player. Below is how the game determines what item a villager will list at the flea market:
- If the villager issmug,normal,snooty, orbig sister:
- If they have at least eight eligible items in their house (seeitem restrictions):
- 100% — an eligible furniture item from their house
- If they do not have at least eight eligible items in their house:
- 100% — a random furniture item from the town's commongroup
- If they have at least eight eligible items in their house (seeitem restrictions):
- 95% — an eligible furniture item from their house
- 5% — acardboard bed,cardboard chair,cardboard closet,cardboard sofa,cardboard table, or any item from theSloppy Series
- If they do not have at least eight eligible items in their house:
- 66.5% — a random furniture item from the town's common group
- 33.5% — a cardboard bed, cardboard chair, cardboard closet, cardboard sofa, cardboard table, or any item from the Sloppy Series
The flea market is the only way to obtain the cardboard bed, cardboard chair, cardboard closet, cardboard sofa, cardboard table, and items from the Sloppy Series. Villagers will sell the item they put up for between 50% and 90% of its catalog price, in increments of 10%.
Item restrictions[edit]
For both players and villagers, the following items cannot be listed for sale at the flea market:
- Any item that cannot be sold atTimmy and Tommy's store
- Any item that cannot be ordered from thecatalog
- Mannequins (these cannot be sold to Reese or refurbished by Cyrus either)
- Any item that has a size greater than 2×2
- Anyfish,bug, orsea creature
- Bells
- Any item that requires a disposal fee to be paid when sold (e.g.trash orartforgeries)
- Any furniture that is customized with acustom design that is not owned by the current player
Customizing furniture[edit]
- Main article:Furniture customization
Initially, Cyrus is asleep and cannot be spoken to. After the player has lived in town for at least seven days, sold at least 100,000 Bells-worth of items at Re-Tail, cataloged at least 100 furniture items, and cataloged at least 50 clothing items, he wakes up and allows the player to customize furniture items.
If the player speaks to Cyrus while a customizable furniture item is in their pockets, they can have it customized for 10% of its buy price. Once the player selects the body and/or pattern variation, Cyrus takes the item and after 30 minutes, the customization is completed. Additionally, if the player has anore in their pockets while customizing a compatible item, they can choose to have the item's body variation customized based on the selected ore.
