You may not recognize the pets you receive in todays gift box, but there is a good chance that they will be valuable pets with a high trading value! They will generally be worth much more than any other pets in the Advent Calendar.
We recommend that you don't trade your pets away until you are sure you understand how much they are worth. You don't want to get ripped off by someone who offers you low-value pets for your new rares. Many older members intentionally seek out new members and COPPA members on Dec 18th so they can try to rip them off with unfair trade offers. Please take your time and don't rush to accept any offers until you're sure that it feels like a good deal for you.
Click here for help.
There will be some topics in the CS Discussion board in the forum where you can ask other players for advice about how much your pets are worth and whether you're receiving good trade offers.
If you're a COPPA player and can't post in the forum you can send a help ticket to get some advice from General Helpers/Staff.
If you are a noncoppad player you are also more then welcome to send a help ticket!
Very Important!
Nobody knows what the new UR's will be worth. Asking here for opinions is more then fine but take everything people tell you with a grain of salt!
All new UR's go through the 'it's worth a sorbet or a non' phase but usually the UR's go for quite a lot of other ranges of worths too. Try to work things out with your trading partners, ask for advice but when someone tells you that it's worth a specific pet, do take that with a grain of salt !

Rules
- Please give a 'why' when replying to a question. No fair/unfair comments, add all the information you can add, why you think something is fair/unfair/in demand/not in demand or why they should or shouldn't accept the trade!
- Please do not double post your trade on the same page or quote more than twice
- Feel free to 'bump' your trade to the next page, once a new page has been made
- When sharing a trade either include pictures, a detailed message or 'share the trade' [information on this below]
- Do not post if you don't know your rarities*
- No posting saying "Bookmarking/New thread!/etc" it's spam and is unnecessary. Use your bookmarks function.
- Do not answer your own trades (that kind of defeats the purpose =P)
- Do not take all answers to be fact (see below to the first quote)
- These rules apply to everyone, regardless of who you are

If you don’t know how to get the correct URL, here’s how you get it:
1) Go to the trade you wish to post, and view it.
2) Look for where it says Viewing a trade offer which you received/sent and find the words that look like this: [share trade]. Click on that.
3) A page with a short paragraph and white box with a URL should show up.
4) Copy the URL from the white box and paste it into your post.
5) Highlight the URL and click the underlined URL button on the dock above your writing space

Just like a '10 VR isn't Equal to an '08 VR.
I'm just stating not ALL rarity are created equal, please keep that in mind when giving advice.

This thread has been getting more and more people who don't know about rarities posting in it like they do. Have enough respect for the people posting to not post and lead them astray if you DO NOT KNOW. If others who are knowledgeable in rarities have told you you need to learn them better, do that. It is not fair to give other people bad advice just because you think you know. It creates an even tougher job for the people who do know their rarities because they are constantly backtracking and fixing mistakes.
People are basing important trading decisions on your advice. People have been ripped off and led astray by others giving bad advice. It's giving people who do know their rarities more work because we have to back track and fix mistakes. Very rares do not equal two rares. Rarities don't work like that.
Please note that this is not directed at any particular person but a collective group of people who are posting bad advice. More and more people are getting ripped off and it's not fair.
