    trade 1 - there is very little updated info about the 08 reindeer plushie, the cs items guide puts it at an 09 rare/very rare from October or November. I think people are still generally trading 1-2 09 rares for it, so this trade is pretty fair.

    personally I'd stick to valuing the reindeer plushie at an 09 vr / 2 09 rares, so I'd accept this (if you're not a fan of rats, swap it out for another late 09 rare).
    ----------------------------------
    trade 2 - this is gonna be a bit confusing due to the cross years so bear with.
    their side:
    - early 2012 uncommon
    - 5x 2013 uncommons
    - 2019 uncommon
    - 2020 uncommon

    your side:
    - late 2012 uncommon
    - 2013 common, 2x 2013 uncommons
    - 2x 2014 uncommon
    - 2019 uncommon, 2x 2019 commons
    - 2020 uncommon

    if you follow the 3-month rule (i.e., pets can trade for -/+ 3 months of their release date, as long as it's within the same rarity) and if you follow the 2:1 rule, then:
    - their 2020 uncommon is a month out to be able to swap for your 2020 uncommon (unfair to you)
    - their 2019 uncommon is a month out of being able to swap for your 2019 uncommon (unfair to them)
    ^^^ I'd say that this cancels out due to both of you being a month under/over, so fair ultimately
    - 2013 uncommon = 2 2014 uncommons, + the 2 2013 uncommons & common = 3.5 2013 uncommons, so the leftover 1.5 2013 uncommons could cover the 2019 commons with value leftover on their side.

    sorry if that was confusing oof- ultimately I'd say they're overpaying slightly due to the leftover 2013 uncommons and the date difference between their 2012 uncomon and yours. I hope this makes sense! it all comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.
    ----------------------------------
    trade 3 - your tess dragon is just a regular rare worth 3-month rule or 2 09 rares. they're offering an 09 warrior cat (leopardstar) which go for 2-3 09 rares each, as well as another '09 & '11 rare, totalling their side to 3.25-4.25 09 rares. unfair to them, they're overpaying.
    - check out the warrior cat guide here, as the 08 warriors are worth more, so just fyi <:
    ----------------------------------
    trade 4 - guinea pigs have decent demand I believe, but nevertheless this particular guinea is worth 3-month rule or 2 2010 rares (or 1 09 rare, being a 2010 VR). the sitting cat they're offering is an 09 warrior (longtail), which again, goes for 2-3 09 rares. I'd say they're overpaying, unfair to them.
    - if they had 1 09 rare + the other two rares, I'd say that's a pretty good deal, with the 2014 rare and/or 2017 rare covering the heightened demand guinea pigs have, so maybe edit it to that <:


    following this chart, your 2011 rare = 4 2011 uncommons, so technically they're overpaying. however, they're offering low-demand pets in exchange for your dog, so it's up to you whether you accept or not - if you like the pets they're offering, then go for it.

    personally, I would not accept as I find ponies/rats trade a lot worse than dogs, so maybe exchange the 4 2011s they're offering for 4 2011 dogs/cats/other higher demand pets <:

    according to horror's list, the blue spotted october dog = 1 MA (250-300c$). if you value it at a regular 09 very rare, then it's worth 2 09 rares + 1 2010 rare, so 80-95c$ (source)

    to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure. I'd personally value this dog at a mid-high october (3-4 09 rares) which would be 115-150c$ anyways. that said, this dog's littermates have gone for 1 MA each (trade), but I could only find that one trade.

    I'd ask on the "how much is this pet worth" thread! Lennie usually provides a good breakdown of the pet's worth, so maybe ask them too <: regardless, it's unfair either way, even if you value it as a regular 09 vr!

    I answered the first trade a few pages back but recommended another opinion, so I'll leave the first trade to someone else <:

    second trade:
    - elemental malk cat = 3-4+ 09 rares with demand (source) or 80-100c$
    - 09 sitting cat = pretty sure this has no particular demand, so 3-month rule / 2 09 rares

    they're offering a BHA horse and 40c$.
    since the BHA pps can go for a bit more due to being in the same litter as its bay counterpart (which goes for 3.5 09 rares), some users do overpay a little for it - for the sake of simplicity I'll value it at 3-month rule.

    I'd say the second trade is unfair to you - although the BHA horse could cover your sitting cat, the c$ does not nearly cover your elemental cat.
