Trade 1

Is this fair? Converted to C$ values it's overpay on my side (1465 vs 1400 for pets only), but I'm pretty sure with the more valuable pets C$ values don't really work too well. If I added a patchy pink September would that make it fair?
Trade 2
Red Rose is 09 VDay item worth an early 09 rare, Scarves are from Christmas 08, not sure of their value.

I don't like trading new stuff because you have no ideas about rarity. Any thoughts on this?
Trade 3



Alright, let's see.

Trade 1 - Unfair to you

Trade 2 - Still really unfair to the UR Cat. The Sorbet and Toxic are worth around a Growing White July together, at most. May be a little closer to BE Galaxy. Plus the items don't bump it up too much when you're trading pets on the higher end of "The Rares List". CS$ really doesn't come into play with the rarer pets. Value is basically the measuring stick for the trade. Adding the Patchy Pink September would help, but it would still leave a rather large gap.

Trade 3 - I personally try not to trade pets until they have a rarity. Especially this month. With so many people missing certain pets (naked rat, 14+ day Black Caterpillar pup, 15 day owl egg), I myself would want to wait until everything is full grown and given a rarity.

I hope I was able to help.

Thanks a ton Super :)
Any idea about how much the first trade has to add?

The UR Cat trade is really hard because they only want wishlist pets and have a very small wishlist X.x
I could offer them a Nonswirl I suppose, wasn't planning to trade it my spare but I do love UR Cat. Would Nonswirl + Toxic + Sorbet be enough then? Or do I add the Pink Sept as well?

Boo, I don't have a 15 day owl egg. Failsauce, it's the inverse of the star owl. I ended up with 3 rare star owl PPSes lol, had to trade for the uncommon grown version. Guess my owl luck has been used up!

Can someone please explain how this group isn't fair trade for a Red X PPS?
I know they aren't all 08 VR dogs, but they add up to quite a bit.... and the PPS is from the same month as the pink September! so.. i don't get it. Is this just a matter of demand? I feel ridiculous offering this much and being told it's not even close o.O;;

No problem. I like helping . It lets me sharpen my rarity knowledge.

As for the first trade, I would say a VR September. Something like a Blue Rose or a Dark Leopard perhaps.

With the UR Cat trade, I would try offering the Nonswirl+Toxic+Pink September. That should be close enough. The UR Cat is worth a touch more than the July PPS.

Sorry to hear about the owl eggs. I got lucky and got a few eggs that didn't hatch. I traded for extras earlier in the month and it paid off. Although, if the 2nd outcome isn't a PPS, then it probably won't be too difficult to get your hands on.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. If you need any help with future trades and you want a faster answer, just PM me. I'm not in this thread as often as I used to be.

It's actually not a bad offer. You probably only need another 2 early '09 rare dogs to make it fair. By the way, it's not just a pet's popularity that controls an auction. Alot of times people want certain things for their pets, even if another trade is offering more value. You just have to find someone who is interested in what you're offering.

I would have to say pretty much fair. Maybe a touch of an underoffer, but not anything really noticeable.
