During Covid-19, Animal Crossing New Horizons has become one of the biggest games on the market, that has become loved by all. It has sold a total of thirteen million copies worldwide. After the release of the new update on the game, which came out on April 23, players were given a Nature Day seasonal event, a museum expansion with an Art Gallery, Leif, and Jolly Redd as new merchants, which were added to the game. Nature day also ran in Animal Crossing till May fourth, which showed players what they can do to celebrate Earth Day. The game introduces players to Leif, who will visit their islands to sell his flowers and shrubs. Jolly Redd the fox will bring his boat to your shores and will offer artwork and furniture in exchange for bells. But be careful of this because some of his artifacts and art pieces might be fake.
Redd Might Be Scamming Players In More Ways Than One.

After stumbling upon a very interesting twitter trend by an Animal Crossing player, who goes by Ninji on twitter, he dumped some interesting info that he had discovered after playing the game and meeting Redd on his ship.
late night #ACNH info dump thread here we go. here's the tea on Redd's ship
it displays 6 items – four art pieces (slots 1-4) and two "rare" furniture items (slots 5-6). art can be as follows…
10% – 1 fake, 3 real
30% – 2 fake, 2 real
50% – 3 fake, 1 real
10% – 4 fake, 0 real— Ninji 🇪🇺🏴🇬🇮 B L M / 1312 (@_Ninji) May 20, 2020
slots 1,2 can have paintings; slots 3,4 can have paintings and sculptures
slots 2 and 3 will always be a small (1×1) item, while 1 and 4 can be any size
for each real slot, there's a 20% chance that the game will *guarantee* you an item you haven't already donated to the museum

the furniture in slots 5-6 is randomly selected from the ShopDefault, ShopMiscGoods and ShopLv1 groups (and ShopLv2 and ShopLargeGoods if you have the upgraded Nook's Cranny)
slot 5 will only have 1×1 furniture items, while slot 6 can have 1×1, 2×1 or 2×2 furniture items

it only picks items that have multiple colour variants, and it will pick a random variant that's not native to your island
that's basically it. thank you for reading. please don't @ me about how often Redd shows up

I think I need to elaborate since it seems I wasn’t clear enough
The 20%/80% for real art does NOT mean that 4/5 will be repeats
It puts all possible items into a list and picks one randomly with equal weighting. 20% of the time, donated items are excluded from consideration
— Ninji 🇪🇺🏴🇬🇮 B L M / 1312 (@_Ninji) May 20, 2020
So, the other 80% of the time, the item you get may be new or it may be one you’ve already donated
This makes it less likely that RNG will screw you over by giving you constant repeats when your museum is almost complete

So for all the people enjoying the Animal Crossing New Horizons update, just beware of Redd’s scams and enjoy playing the game. As for @Ninji, thank you for sharing how to deal with Redd’s scams.
