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

i know the shima’s demand is crazy high so i’m already thinking this is unfair but just wanted to double check and maybe ask what they’d need to add to make it fair

need help with this item trade, from what i can find the confetti is only worth a ‘10 uncommon at most and the plushies on my side go for an ‘09 rare each, would that be right?

[SeaCrest]

Need some advice on this! Based on my limited knowledge it seems fair, I'm just sentimentally attached to horses lol But I'd like a second pair of eyes, please!

I would like to get an opinion on this trade, I'm almost sure it's not fair, but I do want to get an opinion or two from others who might be better at these types of trades!

the first one i need to double check the worth of the grey dragon but your side is about 5MA so if its .25 nons its over but if its .5 its right at the amount

the second one is fair

this is unfair to you! your pet is 2MA and their side is barely 1MA if that

Could use some advice on this one.

I'm a bit conflicted since I do like zebras even though they're low demand, but I'm unsure of the demand of the dogtag.

The Shima Longtail trade is unfair in my opinion as well, the demand is very high and although they are offering you some high demand store pets it still does not make up for the gap.

You are right in terms of the confeti, it was given away in some fairly large batches when it originally came out, so it's not as valuable as far as I'm aware!

Seconding Card dealer - cake dogs are 2MA and the other side adds up to maybe 1 MA max if even that!
