While that trade is very unfair to them, malk mutants are known to trade for a T7,T5 advent (5-7 09 rares), but of course it depends on who you trade! I happily paid 7 09 rares when I had one before, and traded it off for that value as well <3 Rarity wise, your malk mutant is only worth 3-4 of their storepets going by the 3 month rule, or only 2 if you go by only the year.

I’m sorry what do you mean by the three month rule with store pets? 3-4 of their store pets would be overpay by rarity?
I calculate that two would be fair as far as that goes. Two 2018 store pets equal a late 2009 rare which is what the Malk Mutant is.

late 2010 + late 2010= mid 2010. +late 2010= Late 2009. I have had people go by this with store pets x,x quite annoying, but I have seen it done.

The 3 month rule doesn’t apply to store pets as they are valued differently from normal pets. All store pets from the same year are worth the exact same.

As I said in my edited post that isn’t how store pets are calculated. ^^ Nor is it common to use that, even if you’ve seen it done before.
Just because others value it incorrectly doesn’t mean we should spread that, we should try to help correct them.

I know that XD I'm just saying, it's happened in trades with that before. I'm trying to tell the person asking all possible out-puts on the trade, not just the most common, or general rules of thumb.

That's like giving the user only the rarity answer and not disclaiming demand answer is user-based and not a set value.

But that isn’t a possible outcome. That is an unfair trade to them, as 4 store pets would equal 2 late o9 rares.
As I said, just because some people have valued it that way does not make it correct. While they’re welcome to value it that way, that doesn’t mean it’s the generally accepted way of counting rarity.
If literally almost no one uses it, it’s not helpful.

Lol that isn’t how advice is supposed to work. I understand what you are trying to say but spreading false and incorrect advice is frowned upon on this thread and is directly mentioned in the rules. Telling someone to value the store pets that way would be incorrect advice. Again, just because someone does it that way (which is incorrect no matter which way you look at it) does not mean it should be spread. This thread is to be used to give users correct advice on their trades. Not spread falsities.
For correct store pet values look here.

But I said... Never mind.. this forum isn't the place for this.

clicky!!

click again c:

are these two trades fair? thank you so much in advance, i'm rlly not sure what to do!!

[snowdrake]

still need help with these <3

I'm so unsure about this one ;A;
I've just recently returned from a small break from CS and store listies have apparently grown a lot in demand.
I don't know if this is anywhere near fair to me demand wise? how much are my pets going for on average? I don't care much about the timberwolf's value, since I am pretty sure I know where to value it at. I'd highly appreciate any answers!

got another offer! I feel like this one is better than the first offer, but I'm still not sure if it's entirely fair ;v;

Thanks for all your help! <3 (I didn't wanna make a giant quoted post, hope that it's okay to just say thanks lol)
Didn't mean to cause a discourse here, though.
