Older player returning and getting back into the swing of things.

I had an encounter today which honestly miffed me a bit and I thought I'd come here to ask what's considered fair these days.

But by that logic that bunny is worth 32 '22 rares!

2022 rare = 1 '22 rare
2021 rare = 2 '22 rares
2020 rare = 2 '21 rares = 4 '22 rares
2019 rare = 2 '20 rares = 4 '21 rares = 8 '22 rares
2018 rare = 2 '19 rares = 4 '20 rares = 8 '21 rares = 16 '22 rares
2017 rare = 2 '18 rares = 4 '19 rares = 8 '20 rares = 16 '21 rares = 32 '22 rares!

-snip-

for gaps that are only like 2, maybe sometimes 3 years, apart that rarity maths usually used
for gaps further apart (like in your trade) the numbers are technically that big, but people don't generally trade that many. Once you get 3+ years apart it's really just up to what both sides "feel" is fair rather than any hard numbers. There is one method where people add +2 per year rather than doubling the math that's been used a little more frequently in the past year or two (would be 2017 rare = 2 '18 R = 4 '19 R = 6 '20 R = 8 '21 R = 10 '22 R) so the math is less painful to look at, but as already said, with large year gaps it's mostly just up to the players being okay with what's being traded

though by either of those methods, 4 2022 R = 2 2021 R = a 2020 rare, so it was unfair to them from the beginning. Even though they're rare pets, older pets hold value than newer ones

Agreed with this 100%. The “2:1 rule” is totally ridiculous with big year gaps. Honestly, I think even the +2 rule can be a little much, so let’s go even more conservative and say +1 per year (which is more like what I would use). That’s still 5 ‘22 rares, and the pets/tokens offered in the second trade are worth two rares at MOST (some token pets end up uncommon). I agree that any way you look at it, it’s unfair to them.

The dog on your side is a former “list pet” (very rare) worth quite a bit. Unfortunately this was very unfair to you. I’m not sure by how much exactly (and I’m not sure you want to know)…but it’s a lot. :-/

Is this trade fair?

Does this trade seem fair for both sides? Thanks for any advice :)

you are overpaying by 1 MA!

your store pet + husky are worth 2 MA total, and their goat is worth 1MA

a 2022 store pet is worth a late '10 rare to an early '11 rare, so they're under.

Hi there,
thoughts?

I do not know what either are going for at the moment or their demand. I am back from a long break.

Marionette dog
