Can somebody please tell me what would be a fair offer for a cerberus? How many uncommon should I offer?

The value of shop pets relative to regular pets can't really be evaluated - people have to pay real money for shop pets, so technically they have a higher real value than any regular pet. However, in terms of rarity, they will become more common the longer they are available and are not as hard to come by as some of the rare regular pets through regular trading. In general, your average regular pet of some value (say an uncommon/somewhat rare '09) tends to be worth around 10 C$, rare '09s might be 20-30 C$, common/uncommon '08s might be 25-40 C$, rarer '08s might be 60 C$, and extremely rare/old pets (like the Joker, July/Augusts or Wood Angel) often go at around 120 C$ from what I've seen. So if you're offering on a shop pet that costs 40 C$, maybe something like an uncommon/rare '08 would be a good offer. However, it all depends on how highly the person with the C$ values their own money - if it's given to them free by their parents any time they want, they will probably give it away easily. If they're a starving university student who can only afford to buy 80 C$ a month and spent half of it on a Cerberus, you're probably not going to get it away from them for anything short of a July/August, if at all. For these reasons, we really can't answer questions like 'how much C$ is fair' or 'how many regular pets is a good offer for a shop pet', because that answer is not really dependent on rarity but on people's real-world assessments of the value of their money vs. the value of regular CS pets.

The best people to ask about the C$ to Pets Ratio are people who trade with 'CWP' as 1 CWP = 1 USD = 17 C$

Could someone tell me if/or how much candy i could get in a trade for these little ghost items found via the hunt. I'm no too crazy about them, and if i could get something else for them i'd like to know a fair trade value.

Well, I traded a Cerberus for one - and both Store dogs together are worth more in C$... on that basis, probably yes.
One the basis that the Cerberus may be a Halloween special and the dogs may be available for longer, possibly not?
The store may sell quite a lot of those dogs, whereas the dragon will always be rare.
That said - I guess any trade is a good deal, as long as you're happy with the outcome at the end of the day.
