I'm really tempted but would like some opinions of others who have been actively trading list pets.

I haven't actively traded for list pets in awhile, but I can confidently say that they are asking for a lot of overpay on your side. While the orange Cerberus is in a good demand among those seeking it, it is not worth that many rares and very rares, especially since most of them seem to be coming from '09 and '10 with a few from '08.
I think they may be trying to play it as you getting a good deal from it when you're really not, as they aren't asking for list pets. You could get a lot more for your pets than just an orange cerberus. I'd take a few more opinions as I've been away from the list trading game for awhile, but I do know that in calculating a C$ price comparison (this may not be accurate since comparing pets to C$ isn't always equal to value of the pet in pets), you would be overpaying by more than 5x, maybe even 6x, for sure as the Orange Cerberus is valued 505 C$ while an 09 rare could go for 30 c$ at best.
I know that a mid advent is valued at around 7 09' rares, but I'm just unsure how many an orange cerberus would add up to.

Rarity wise, an Orange Cerberus is only worth a Balloon Dog - 21 mid advents - or around 150 09 rares. You're overpaying rarity wise by 3-4x it's value.

However - Orange Cerberuses tend to go for 4-5 nons regardless of list placement. This is the equivalent of over 1,000 advents or 7,000 09 rares.
That means... your side is technically underpay - demand wise.
However, I would note that quantity goes for extreme overpay a lot of the time.


Would I personally take it? Absolutely not. You're trading an extortionate amount of quantity which is insanely hard to come by, nevermind trade for. Cerberuses aren't too hard to trade for with a little bit of quantity quality lists and patience. I think you could get a better offer. That's just my personal opinion - mostly because I value quantity extraordinarily high.

Even with the quantity, I still wouldn't do it - the quantity isn't even of "popular" or particularly "in demand" advents. I think you would be better off trading down for main-lists and then advents - you'll keep more value that way (:
