How Did You Get Your Most Valuable Pet?

[FreddyCenobite]

Okay some of these may not be fabulous, but long term they are a tiny bit cool. I'm not gonna do all my valuables because I'm an older user and, yeah, that'd be a while. I am also close-ish to a full CS set, so that's also a lot of pets. So these are just my cool ones!

My oldy moldy trades:
A TD UR Tiger dog -- offsite trade

A TD 4 Digit Coontail -- Luck, I guess? (Another I hide on purpose but in the 4000s; a semi unique ID, I'll give him that)

TD 4 Digit BEG -- offsite trade (9000s digits)

TD CEG -- offsite trade

At the time I found this steep, but now? ehehehe (TD Malk Smiley and TD 2010 Halloween cat whose name I forget)

For 45k (free) site currency that, even now, is still dirt cheap

This one needs no explanation


----


My newer trades:
A TD UR LION -- Luck? (Side note: Aside from the bengal PPS, those were all doubles. So I technically took one loss)

A TD NONTAG -- Offsite that summed up to 1.5 non (I'm not listing the specific ID because I hide some on purpose, but in the 2000s)

Open for interpretation on being worth it

December 18ths (they're valuables to me!):
(always reins supreme because she was my first list Dec 18th!)

My holiest of holy grails (aka luck of the time):
The equivalent of $4 USD in offsite currency

Set me back 1 million (free) site currency that, especially now, is the most laughably dirt cheap price as above this

My TD BMD that totaled $6.50 USD -- offsite

Another self explanatory one

For a spider that I replaced with a TD counterpart

For a TD I have since replaced with another TD

A TD for 50 currency (don't know the USD version)! -- offsite

-- Pound

This is made even funnier because of above

using I believe current prices, this cost $5 USD in offsite currency

Again, using current pricing, $4.50 worth of US

Speaks for itself

For the equivalent of $5 USD

A gift from a now inactive friend

- my 4th ever pound catch

Lucky pull - True Date UR Bengal (oh boy was I confused that year as to what I got because I was trying to figure where the RR was from LOL)

[Spottedleaf16]

bump!

[oniaano]

i believe this is my most valuable pet ! traded a UR bee and a non-raccoontail for it (both were my own dec.18th pulls) , no idea if that was good then or now i traded for it years ago lol

The highest value pets I got and under what circumstances each:

Dec. 18 (first year!), also the rarest pet I own (possibly tied for most valuable, depending)


Pound (objectively the most valuable pet I own if you're the type to value the Unickorn at less than 1n, if we're still using that lingo/system)


Gift (this was completely random, from a quitting user who just looked at my WL)


Giveaway Thread (This particular thread was hosting a raffle)


Trade (got this in then 1:1 rarity swaps with other pets on my WL... i mean this aged like milk, but in my defense THEY offered to trade older pets for my newer ones 💀)


C$ Trade (Bought these all at once along with another store dragon in a diff. set)


Off-site Trade (gave them my PFQ stuff)


Art Payment (comms are also how I get my C$, along with token selling though the bulk of it comes from the latter which I then save until I see something for sale I want)


Haven't participated in an auction so I have no pets I can even say I obtained this way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also have a handful of other VR+ pound catches, in my misc. faves and rares+ groups but none of them have been worth more than 1ma except that nontag from above.

I asked my uncle to buy me C$ and I gave him 5$ cash which was probably leftover birthday money. Bought the whole set + an extra red android. Blue I traded away for an OC that I don't care for at all now and barely even used at all at the time either (like some shirtless anime boy wizard with drumsticks and fingerless gloves?) Super regret that one. Yellow I don't know. Red gave to my best friend so that one is ok cause she still has it and won't ever trade it so its in good hands! And then the extra red I also traded at some point for something unknown. Hopefully not for another anime boy

Otherwise I have gotten lucky on Dec 18 and got a UR rat and, at the time, my #1 dream pet Purple Bat Dog. What is better luck than adopting a dream pet?

2013 Store Kitsune Set
Green Kitsune: Lucky C$ trade: 700 C$ = Black & Green Kitsune (350$ per)
C$ trades for the kitsunes at the time were relatively dead, I posted this trade in successful C$ trades which caused traction in the selling/buying thread iirc

Pink Kitsune: Swapped my Black Kitsune to Pink

Black Kitsune: Won a Black Kitsune from auction for 1000 C$
800 was the AB, but I had to outbid a scalper; Host changed the AB value to 1k.

Tan Kitsune: Finally, got Jade Coin Kitsune for 2.5 MA worth of pets

It was a fun journey considering I thought I'd never get these pets (as they are achieved dreamies)

Previous post on this thread, so much has changed !

I was gifted this beautiful baby

By this person Forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=439554 a few months ago!! The cs community is just so amazing 😭

[kim24568]

And the two most amazing gifts i ever got were these two:
A looooot of amazing store pets and lists
an amazong OMG so rare

[insomnia.]
