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.

unfair to them, your pet is a rerelease from 2011. the horse isn't enough to make up for the year difference as two 2011 rares = 1 2010 rare

unfair to you! Your blood pps goes for 2.5 - 3 MA advents (17.5- 21 09 rares) as their side goes for 1.5-2 MA
the rares don’t fill the gap
