Is it okay if I get some perspective on this little guy:

I know I haven't seen a lot of people with him, and I am leaning towards the idea that the outcome will be rare rather than uncommon, but all the trades I've been getting have still been pretty heavy overpay asking for much older pets, 2011, 2010 pets. And I get it, it's a pps outcome and it's cute, overpay is a thing. No criticism there. It's just over the years I've gotten really good at quantifying values of pets to help make my trading easier. Even if this little guy goes rare, a 2011 uncommon is still something like twenty times the value.
I'm just getting a little bit unsure how to deal with people asking me to give them much older pets without really understanding that the time span between them really matters. I resorted to removing him from my post because I'm just so far beyond this demand-centered trading trend right now.
What do you do when you know a trade is really unfair, but you also know your partner is just going to throw a hissy-fit about an arbitrary idea that summarizes as 'popularity justifies everything?'

What a night
You have them both (multiples, actually) xD They grow at the time you adopt them, not right at rollover. So if you adopted a while after rollover, they won't grow until that adopt time.
Just noticed that rip me lol

"In two months, I can probably get the missing outcome easily for just [insert reasonable value here] instead of a pet that is literally 6+ years older. Sorry, not interested"
Was your pet adopted December 18, any year, or December 24, 2011? It is most likely an older pet! CLICK ME to identify your pet!

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
