the pets in both trades are all wishlist - so subjective demand isn't necessary


2013 store pets are said to be worth 2 '09 rares, so I'd say the first trade is fair in that sense. (Perhaps even overpay?)
More recent store pets, last I heard (keep in mind it was a while ago) they went for a 2010 rare each, so using the 2:1 rule they add up?

As for demand, the kitsune's (and store pets in general) are going for quite a bit, and there have been cases of T7 advents + some more rates in a few cases, but that's demand and depends who you're trading with :3

Please get another opinion though, as I'm not the most confident at my trading abilities haha

    hi, would this be reasonable? rechecking my math.

You're actually over. The first two dogs on your side fall within the three month rule of their '09s and so I'd personally say you could probably get away with taking 2 of the '10s off your side.

To clear things up, when people quote 2 '09 rares that is what it is considered to be *worth*. Anything higher is usually a demand value. Personally I would second that a mid advent seems most reasonable, especially because it's not necessarily fair to the person on the other side to keep pushing for a higher price given how relatively easy it is to find kitsunes. However, that's just my opinion and it really does come down to you to decide how to value a high demand pet, especially when there's such a chaotic pool of different values to try to navigate.

Edit;

Technically the GWJ (1 non) is a perfectly fair swap for the liontail but due to the liontail's massive demand they go for consistent overpay (2-2.5+ nons). In that regard, you are underpaying by a lot.

The sunback is worth around a non and trades for 3. The moonswirl is likely worth around 2-3ish and hits the lower end of that (at the very least) pretty consistently. Demand wise that would arguably be a fair swap depending on how exactly you value the moonswirl, though it needs to be said that it's probably not worth your time unless you're planning on keeping the moonswirl due to the slight risk there. Both the moonswirl and the sunback are popular bois, though, so I wouldn't imagine you'd have trouble trading either. Overall entirely up to you and how you choose to value your pets.
