Why isn't my join avenue working?

Question

I went over to my join avenue and all the stuff in every shop was sold out and there were no customers. What happened?!

Answer 1

Well you can only buy one item at a time then every shop will say Sold Out.
Also, if you have re-set the DS's clock then Join Avenue will be disrupted the same happens if you go to Join Avenue on a different DS.
To solve these problems leave your DS charging over night whilst it is on (This will reset it)
Hope this helps

Answer 2

You must have bought items from the shops.Sometimes you will get an empty Join Avenue.
