While DIY recipe cards themselves cannot be sold to Nook's Cranny for Bells in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the items crafted from these recipes can be sold, with prices varying significantly based on the specific item. Duplicate DIY recipe cards are typically given to other players or dropped on your island rather than sold to the in-game shop.
The sell price of items you craft using DIY recipes depends on the item's complexity, the materials required for its creation, and its overall utility or decorative value. These crafted items can be sold at Nook's Cranny for Bells. Here are some examples of houseware items crafted from DIY recipes and their respective sell prices:
| Recipe Name | Item Sell Price (Bells) |
|---|---|
| Beekeeper's hive | 2,400 |
| Big festive tree | 3,200 |
| Birdbath | 900 |
| Birdcage | 960 |
Understanding Item Values
- Material Value: Generally, items that require rarer materials or a larger quantity of materials will sell for more Bells. For example, the "Big festive tree" often fetches a higher price due to the various festive materials it requires.
- Purpose: Items can serve various purposes – from functional tools to decorative furniture pieces or even seasonal items. Their selling price reflects their in-game value and the effort required to gather materials and craft them.
- Earning Bells: Selling crafted items is one method to earn Bells, particularly when you have an excess of materials. However, players also craft items extensively for island customization, home decoration, or to fulfill villager requests.
Always consider the market value of the materials used versus the selling price of the final crafted item to determine if selling the item is the most efficient way to earn Bells. Sometimes, selling raw materials or other high-value items like non-native fruits or rare fish and bugs might be more profitable.
