i am horribly anxious about this trade since it involves one of my dec. 18th pets!! any suggestions/advice would be GREATLY appreciated. i'll be honest, i didn't do the math because its massively confusing to me ,,

I'll use C$ values from Horror's guide and This chart

Your Side:
2009 VR pony: 09 VRs are 100C$ by default but ponies have very low demand. how short of 100 the value is is debatable, I'll count it as 70-100 so you can see the range for the low value as well as the high value.
2012 EUC pony: 2012 EUCs are 6-8 and probably again low when factoring demand.
2016 common: 1C$

Their Side:
2020 Rare Event Pet: 10C$
2022 EUC: 4-8 C$ (extending range for fox + halloween demand)
2 VUCs: 6-10 C$ (higher values for event and species demand, again)
3 UCs: 3C$
5 VC/ECs: 1.5-2 C$ (VC and under go for multiple pets by the dollar, as low as 0.2C$ each , but the fox and PPS cat would probably go for more so I'm keeping the low value at 1.5)

Your Side: 77-109 C$
Their Side: 24.5-33 C$
In conclusion, not fair. when in doubt, you can write it all out using the charts I linked, hopefully that makes it easier to understand.

Would a VR St Patrick's Lion (it's from 2010, but it's a 24 rerelease) be fair for the 4 store pet cats from 2021? I haven't sent the trade yet because I'm not sure it's fair or not.

Horror's Guide values 2021 stores at 70-80C$ each, so 4 would be 280-320 C$
an 09 VR is typically valued at 100C$, maybe more or less depending on demand. Lions have good demand but St. Patricks is ehhh. Not as desirable IMO but people have preferences. I'd say 100C$ is pretty much gonna be the lion's value.

Alternatively, you could use the Old Rares pet value system, which is an evolution of the old 09 Rares system:
Horror has 2021 stores listed as 2 Old Rares each, and regular 09 VRs are valued at 2.5 Old Rares. Either way it's still very short of the stores' value.

This is probably very quick a stupid trade to put on here but I’m very low on C$ and would like to know if I should be asking for more! Tysm to whoever answers :,)

Hello! I need help with these trades, I'm not good with worths
Thank you!

Alright, you've got 09 rereleases from March and Sept respectively. The Sept is the green Soxic which I believe counts as a regular 09 VR but let me check. Okay yeah Horror has it listed in the 09 VRs as Lime Sortic
So! first trade is textbook 09 VR = 2.5 Old Rares. easy peasy, totally fair

for the second trade, I am simply not generous nor patient enough to count all those pets but I'll guide you through the process.
The best way to do it would probably be to use C$ values from these charts: Horror's C$ guide / C$ Chart

The pets are all from the past few years and all UC and below so you shouldn't need to separate them by year.

Tally up all the UCs and multiply them by their C$ value, then the same for the Commons, then for the VC and below.
You can change the values per pet but the chart I linked would put the UCs at 1 each, Cs at 0.5 each

for the VC and below you can value them at 0.2 (5=1C$) 0.25 (4=1C$) or even 1-for-6 which is 0.1666 - you can even split them into VC/EC/OMGSC and give them all different values - whatever you decide
It'll look something like this:

20 UC x 1C$ = 20 C$
25 C x 0.5 C$ = 12.5C$
95 VC + under x 0.2C$ = 19C$
Total: 51.5 C$
^^^ Just an example

and then you add the items! Items historically have been valued typically as an uncommon from each year, but with the rarity update it might be more appropriate to use VUCs, especially for older items.
Also! Plushies have good demand. A good range for the ones offered (none are very old) would be maybe 3-6C$ each but that is very subjective! the pandas are probably higher.

The value you're looking for for your 09 VR is 100C$

This is probably very quick a stupid trade to put on here but I’m very low on C$ and would like to know if I should be asking for more! Tysm to whoever answers :,)

when in doubt, do a forum search! I went to the trade forums and searched: "buying animal egg" <-with the quotes! you wanna use those so you don't get results including the words "buying" "animal" and "egg" in different places. Anyway, someone is offering a lot for your egg... much more than I'd expect! they must really want it.

Could you possibly message me a link to that? I’m a new player trying to work mobile so some things are a little clunky for me

Been sitting on this one for a bit, since the rarities differ so much and I know rats tend to have much lower demand; thoughts would be appreciated :') https://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/viewtrade.php?id=117807118&userid=951920&signature=wwk2SOKkMMnUjt-kLSMpKA
