The "Is this a fair trade?" Thread

"Is this a fair trade?"

It can be tough to know when you are getting a good deal. Luckily, this is a place where you can ask fellow players for their opinions on your trades. Or, for the experienced players out there, you can lend a hand to help others understand what they've been offered.

COPPA members are encouraged to send a help ticket for advice on trades.
Regular members should only ask here.

Valuing the galaxy pps at 1.5 nons and the non at a non, your side adds up to about 4 nons~
The red cerb has been going for 3-4 nons demand wise, depending on user and the pets included. I’d personally accept this as the red cerb is bound to get rarer with time and it’s somewhat rare to see users trading their store pets for non store lists, but it’s up to you how to value demand and your pets ^^

Would you guys take 3-non worth of these pets for Joker? I don't personally value their pets at the same they do and they aren't pets I am particularly interested in. Trade Here Their values =Pawprint rat between 1 sorb - 1 non, Zebra at 1.5 non, Joker bun at 1-1.5, Rudolf rat... no clue, Holly 1.5, Nonjewel 1.

Well 3 nons for any joker is ridiculously over
I would never, ever trade 3 nons for a joker or trade my joker for 3
If you don’t want their pets, I would just go ahead and decline instead of taking so much



Id personally agree at least partially with their values as well.

The rat ofc not a sorb to non

But holly 1-1.5
Zeb 1-1.5
Joker Bun only 1
