havent been on in a while, is this fair?

Zodiacs most commonly go for around 2-3 ‘09 rares worth, so this is a fair trade. It just depends on what you prefer - if you’re looking to trade these pets off, you’d probably be better off with the Zodiac as they’re always fairly popular. Please get a second opinion!

I dont recall how the year gaps work.

I'm also hesitant on this trade because that is majority of my extra store pets and I was hoping to use them as trade fodder for a OMGSR. Is this trade worth this dog, or would it be more worthwhile to save as fodder for more valuable pets?


any help would be greatly appreciated! Don’t want the trades to sit.

They’re offering:
2021 store pet valued at ~1 late '10 rare —> 0.5 late 2009 rare using 2:1 rule
2 early to mid 2010 rares —> 1 early to mid 2009 rare using 2:1 rule
Other pets don’t affect outcome
Total: ~1.5 ‘09 rares

Your side:
2017 store pet valued at ~1 mid '09 rare.

Fair by technicality, but I personally wouldn’t take it since the fennecs have good demand. (: None of the pets on their side have any particular demand in comparison.
Please get a second opinion too since everyone has a different perspective on demand.

This is only my personal experience, but though the fennecs are fairly well liked I haven’t seen any evidence that they trade above the standard ‘17 store value of a mid ‘09 rare, at least not when I’ve traded with them.


To add on to this since I think I worded it a bit weird now that I’m rereading it. They don’t trade for more than the standard ‘17 store pet value. By increased demand I was more so referring to the design/species/store pet value it has, aka it would be easier to trade off or get a better trade with the fennec versus the pets offered. Hope I cleared my explanation up a bit with this.
Thank you @Pastel-Axle for clearing that up as well!

Just by looking at this I would say it’s unfair to your side. Using the 2:1 rule, the two 2011 lions could equal one 2010 rare. The other pets offered wouldn’t be enough to make it equivalent to a 2009 rare.

For the second trade, I’d personally hold onto the store pets as the purple toxic can be difficult to trade off. Please get a second opinion though!

For the first trade…
1 2020 VC -> 0.5 C -> 0.25 UC
1 2020 C -> 0.5 UC
4 2020 UC
4.75 2020 UC total

1 2021 VC -> 0.25 UC
2 2021 C -> 1 UC
6 2021 UC
7.25 2021 UC total ->3.625 2020 UC

4.75 + 3.625 = 8.374 2020 UC equivalent
Now continuing to use 2:1 rule to divide down to 2015…
4.1875 2019
2.09 2018
1.04 2017
0.52 2016
0.26 2015

Thus, it is unfair to you since the pets on their side are equivalent to about a quarter of a 2015 uncommon using 2:1 rule.

While this math is technically correct, I just want to add that not everyone uses the 2:1 rule for large year and rarity jumps like that. I know I and many people would consider the bulk side to be worth more than 1/4th of a 2015 uncommon. It’s all up to personal user preference, and if you value dates or rarity bars more.
