Expecting tons for pets is normal, esp. if you're talking about Jokers.

/frowns at the demand.

This, so much!

Everyone seems to think now that saying 'oh, it's because I want to get to this pet goal with it!' or 'oh, I'm attached to this one!' gives them a right to demand something worth fifty times what the pet they're offering is worth! -_- *sigh* We all have goals... doesn't mean overcharging is the way to reach them. And we all have pets we're attached to... most of us just don't trade them, instead of expecting the world to offer overpay for sentimental value O.o Not demand, not rarity, not age... but sentimental value. Yeah... because that'll still be there on resale.

Not just Jokers. I'm aware it drives them up. But for pets with lesser demand.

    Even when I overpay, I get cancelled. Obviously I'm not overpaying enough.

    Exactly! I got asked to give my non-jewel for an '08 pet yesterday to help someones goal to a sun-jewel. ;-; I have my own goals, and it's already hard enough. Have the fodder, just not people willing to trade fairly (I do try to trade fairly taking demand into account mind you )

    I also don't think people realise that the rares list is a combination of Demand and rarity.

I think it's actually just demand, and user-made deamnd as well, because there is the ur rat near the bottom. :3

    There are UR's more common than others. So yes, it's lower because of demand, but it's also probably a lot more common than say, the UR Banana, which also has terrible demand yet is still way up there.

You're telling me... I usually end up overpaying more than half the time... Of my own free will.

Guess you didn't want that rat, eh? XD I'm the one who canceled the trade because it was rotting.
