The white feb is so hard to gauge as I've seen them go for loads and some barely anything. am I in the right sort of quantity and rarity with this trade? thank you

I could be wrong so get a second opinion, but I'd say you're significantly overpaying. I've seen people overpay for the white feb, but never by that much? The zodiac dogs have huge demand, the store pet carousel horse is a low ex-list, and the store deer with rainbow bows also has massive demand - I've been offered multiple 09 R/VRs for it!! Get a second opinion though as I could have missed how much the white feb is going for now

i'd tend to agree. white febs are nothing special, honestly, and if they won't take a reasonable offer for their pet it's not too hard to find somebody else who will. when i traded off my carousel i got a t5 advent for it plus a handful of low demand '10 rares. that alone would be daft overpay. take everything but 3-4 '09 rares off of your side, i'd suggest. good luck on your quest <3

Thank you both, the trade was cancelled as they're not trading it which is fair. I'm hoping I can get one fairly but "fair trades" don't really seem to be a thing at the moment. You gotta overpay for everything I swear.

fairly is probably out of the question but i think the demand economy problem thing is just going to get worse if people don't start drawing lines. like the pps dragon cat situation really, really baffles me. people overpaid for it then refused to trade it off again until they got offered more than they paid for it, which started a vicious cycle and has since driven the potential market value up to a sorbet. i think if more people had all put their foot down and said "no, i don't think so. i don't care that you paid x amount of '08 rares for it. i'm not giving you more than this," the situation could have been avoided. the problem with that is that it needs to be a pretty unanimous decision and as long as there's still a good portion of people who will give ridiculous overpay for that pet, particularly if they're desperate, it's not going to get solved. you can value your pets at whatever price you like, but i feel there's a difference between "i love this pet on a deeply sentimental level and i'm not trading it unless you offer me something ridiculous" and actively attempting to trade that pet for the ridiculous price and expecting to get somewhere. i wouldn't trade my cookie advent unless you offered me a sorbet for her, sure, but i'd never expect somebody to actually offer me one for her. and if i went out and started sending out trades along those lines i think i'd probably get foed. idk. overall i'm just very confused about the whole thing
so yeah, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I would really like some help. Are any of these bids fair?

Bids:

Bid 1
Bid 2
Bid 3

Thank you so much.

rarity wise they're all decent offers, but the dragons can go for a fair chunk of overpay. i think i'd personally lean towards either the c$ or the bunbuns myself. i really struggled to trade away my malk horses fairly so whilst there's more substance there than there in in the bunbun trade, i feel like the bunnies would have a better market value and be the safest bet overall.
that said, 200c$ would get you a pink striped september off of the top of my head so if you're feeling brave i'd come down on the c$ side of things. that's very good overpay.

Is this trade good?

no. the orange serb goes for 6-7 nons these days, whereas their side would probably fetch around one non if you value the non-td BMD at a sorb, the punk at a sorb and round everything else up to around another sorb in value. the OMGSR is notoriously hard to trade and whilst it's technically worth a non, people will tell you it's worth a sorb or less.

the zebra has poor demand and trades for roughly a non whereas the holly can go for 1-1.5 nons and has fairly decent demand. personally i'd whack a sorbet onto your side but if you value the holly at one non it's just about square. c;

I agree. The UR holly definitely had better demand.

Not to just add on to what everyone else is saying but from what I've seen with Christmas themed pets, their demand rises around Christmas time/they become more sought after. In a month I wouldn't be surprised to see the Holly going for 1.5-2 nons.

How was this trade?

[cαtαstrσphe]

How was this trade?

The sorbet trades for 1 non, the blue toxic 1 sorbet and the rat also 1 sorbet, The average value is that 2 sorbets equal a non so you were over.

Did it change? I've been told that a non = 3 sherberts
1 sherbert = 4 balloon dogs
I was on a hiatus for a while, still trying to catch up

Can anyone help me with this please?

EDIT: and this? The deer seems to have huge demand, but I'd love some opinions on this please!

Thank you in advance
