I know rarity that it's unfair. But demand? Player said that the dogs are better then the horse alone

From what I've seen a LOT of players apply what I call "Inverse" demand to pets that people aren't massively overpaying for, where basically if a pet isn't IN demand they don't believe they have to pay FAIR for it. I've HEARD tess horses aren't popular, but I'm 100% sure that's just an excuse people use to underpay for a pet.

I wouldn't accept this trade.

fair?
thank you in advance! <3

Little unfair to the top- the purple star bob is one tier higher than the bun, about an 09 rare, and the 51 is about fair as is (short 4 C$ to average price) for the malk PPS pup.

So the bottom is short by about 2 09 rares, and one 2010 rare. =3

Since the deer was part of a special set (if I understand it right, it only came as part of the full package I was awol for that set ^^;; ) it's a little rarer than a normal store pet, people tend to value them at 09 rares (the typical store pet for 2015 being mid 2010), so it's unfair to the Rainbow Draft.

Of course people are going insane for store pets, so it's a tricky spot in the demand feeds demand sort of way.

Unfair to you. Rats have low demand and your side has high demand.

Yea I've seen that a lot. Getting a lot of 1st tier advent offers for my speckled main list rat...

I'm glad I didn't take it

Oh boy, bear with me cuz this is a tricky one:

Rarity wise- it's 100% unfair to the rat, it's a mainlist rat worth about 12 Mid-advents (give or take an 09 rare) the other side isn't even in the ballpark as it were ^^;;

Demand wise- I have no idea. I have my own list rat and I've never had a fair offer on it, so by demand this might be fine. I, personally, try to use the list as a guide as it uses rarity as well as demand (though there is a new rarity only list in progress) and I'd feel bad making someone over pay that much regardless of whether the community perception of demand says it's fair.

Extended: If you really want the rat, that's an AMAZING deal- but if you're trying to trade it away that's where it gets tough: Rats are really hard to trade for fair pet-for-pet price, if you wanted a fair trade or minor trade down (even to the september list) you'll be in for a bit of a wait. C$ offers I've had on my own rat have tended to be much more forgiving- so it's not bad if you intend to sell it, but (as has been demonstrated on the C$ forms) it'll be lower total value than the pet value, and I'm not sure how hard it is to C$ trade back on to the list ^^;; (for advice on selling it, seek a second opinion =3)

Both unfair to you. The 1st one is REALLY unfair since the date.
2nd one is unfair because even though it's a store pet yours is a 09 staff litter
