"Is this a fair trade?"
It can be tough to know when you are getting a good deal. Luckily, this is a place where you can ask fellow players for their opinions on your trades. Or, for the experienced players out there, you can lend a hand to help others understand what they've been offered.
COPPA members are encouraged to send a help ticket for advice on trades.
Regular members should only ask here.
