Tom Nook's at It Again: Animal Crossing Water Bottle Pre-Order Price Is Over $13,000

Bells just aren't enough for our supposed friend Tom Nook. He's after our dollars now, and an Animal Crossing-themed water bottle is up for pre-order with a price tag of over $13,000. Not $13. Not $130 dollars. Not even $1300, but legitimately $13,000. You can check out the continually on-the-rise pre-order price on Amazon. The bottle is currently selling for $13,228. You can check out the bottle below, which went up for pre-order with a price of $19.99 before soaring into the thousands.

Twitter replies to the tweet above chronicle this water bottle's rise to extreme prices. Roughly 10 hours after the above tweet went up, the bottle hit a new price of $102. The price was at $2,617 three hours later. One hour later, the price rose to $3,831 and it's now sitting with a price tag over $13,000.

An Animal Crossing-themed water bottle hits the pre-order market just days before the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and reaches an astronomical $13,228? We're onto you, Nook. What's not $13,228 is the new Animal Crossing game. You can check out our review of the game, which we thought was amazing, giving Animal Crossing: New Horizons a 9 out of 10.
