I have no idea about item worth, would this be fair?

https://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/viewtrade.php?id=118074103&userid=285148&signature=knHbwP1XLkJJyJqV5tCWyw

I'm going to say no only because their items are from this past year's wild west event while your foxen items are from Halloween 2013 & have more demand both as a result of the year/event they came out and the type of item they are (dressup fox items).

Are Malk pets more worth than "normal" pets from a technical perspective or ist just a player thing?

Their side:
2012 EUC: 6-8C$ x2 | 12-16 c$

Your side:
2011 EUC: 8-10C$

Their total: 12-16c$
Your side: 8-10c$

There isn't really much of a notable difference since this is one of the more "recent" malk pets if you can call it that (re: stuff from 2008-2010 malks have more value/demand it seems & this owl is closer to 2012 anyway). I'd say this is a fair trade tbh.

Any help? trades/viewtrade.php?id=118074236&userid=911060&signature=b2AT_DG4X03DvgliOCKZkA

Their side: 210-250c$
Your side: 225-320c$

You're overpaying on your end! I'd remove your VRs personally but there's other pets you could remove as well to get those pets if you want them! ^^"

How many nons does their side add up to? A breakdown would be very helpful too, thanks!
trades/viewtrade.php?id=118074810&userid=768234&signature=nutKHeBtqZxoazpy4FVhbw

I typically do it in c$ but I'll do nons & c$ for this one ^^

Their side:
Seal PPS: 0.75 Non / 2.8k c$
TD Yellow sorbet: 1 Non / 2.2k c$
BA: 1 Non / 2000+C$
Purple toxic: 0.5 Non / 1000-1300C$
Hollyfox: 2-3 MA / 650-700c$
Dogtag: 1.5 non / 3000C$
Blue sorbet: 0.5 non / 1000-1300C$
Blue toxic: 0.5 non / 1000-1300C$
Moonswirl: 2 nons / 4000C$
BEG: 1.5 non / 3k c$- 3750c$

Your side:
TD Raven: 8-10 nons / 20-30k c$

Their total: 9.25 Nons & 2-3 MA / 20650-22350c$
Your total: 8-10 nons/ 20-30k c$

Ngl this is a pretty good trade if you do want to take it. While most are RR, they're all higher list pets with some good demand. Hopefully this breakdown does help though! ^^ & best of luck trading your raven c:

Is this fair? I really don't know much about worth when it comes to store pets

Their side:
Pink Cookie/Bubblegum Advent: 300-350C$
Pink Heart Advent:300-350C$
2015 VR: 30-40C$
2015 R: 15-20C$
2015 store: 200-250C$
2011 EUC: 8-10C$ x2 | 16-20c$
2012 EUC: 6-8C$
2013 EUC: 6-8C$
2016 EUC: 5-6C$
2017 EUC: 5-6C$ x2 | 10-12c$
2018 EUC: 4-5C$ x4 | 16-20c$
2023 EUC: 3-4C$
VUC: 1-5C$ x14 | 14-70c$
UC: 1-3C$ x10 | 10-30c$
C: 0.5-2C$ x5 | 2.5-10c$
Pets under C: 2-4 pets = 1c$ x15 | 3.75-7.5c$

Your side:
2015 store pets: 200-250C$ x5 | 1k-1250c$

Their total: 937.25-1205.5c$
Your total: 1k-1250c$

I'd say that this is fair but mostly because of the list pets that they have thrown in the trade and EUCs. I personally wouldn't trade my store pet set down for several C-VUC pets but that is also just me of course. ^^ If there's a lot of WL pets on here then I'd consider it at least. Otherwise you may want to see if they'd swap out some pets (like the hamsters, lions, etc).

Not sure of this…

Their side:
2009 VR: 100c$

Your side:
2009 VR: 100c$

This is fair in terms of worth & rarity, but pet-wise the dog has more demand.

Thoughts on this item trade?

Their side:
Sun & golden crystal horns: Halloween 2024 token items
andromeda galaxy: c$ store item
gold moon: c$ store item
Golden earring: c$ store item
35 c$

Your side:
Tree foliage: free 2013 items: 10 c$ each aka 20 c$

They're overpaying quite a bit on their side for those items

Their side:
2010 R: 25-35C$
2012 R: 18-24C$
2013 EUC: 6-8C$
2014 store: 250-350C$

Your side:
TD Capricorn dog: 200-300c$
2010 R: 25-35C$
2012 EUC: 6-8C$
2013 EUC: 6-8C$ x2 | 12-16c$
UC: 1-3C$

Their total: 300-420c$
Your total: 244-362

They're overpaying but personally I'd just do the zodiac dog for the robot cat? But if you like the other stuff as an add then I'd do it.

[sunlithollow]

just got this trade offer for this month’s rainbow bone still-growing horse and it caught me off guard since they offered more pets than I’d have expected for it— is it seeming to be less common? or maybe they just really want the horse lol?

I always get bad luck trading. Is it because I'm relatively new? I see this as fair based on value.

I always get bad luck trading. Is it because I'm relatively new? I see this as fair based on value.

When looking at plain value, this technically is fair. However, if you look at the years, the horse is from 2015 and the chicken is from 2023.
Your dog is from 2023.
Most people would consider a 2015 omgsc rarer than a 2023 very common/common.


Edit::

If someone could help me with this 2019 store pet for 2009 VR
