I am doing value, demand, and preference when I take in bids.
The current first place is winning with a Pink Balloon, a Red Target Dog, and a Pink Striped September.
The Pink Balloon is a main rare's list pet and the user added two September list pets as well placing them far into first.
Even with two OMG rare Heavy Speckled rats, a BMD, and other rares would not equal to the placement of that bid.
Each line that is below the Pink Balloon would require a September list pet to get up to the value of the Pink Balloon by itself and that is not including the other two pets she has with her bid.
Whenever someone places a Main Rare's list pet into these auctions they are always hard to beat unless your can equal the value and demand of the pets that are winning or place a higher main rares list pet.
I hope that helps explain how we judge and know that we try very hard to understand the values and rares of the pets being offered. ~Thorn
