I have a bid for my auction.
I have a few questions.
Firstly is it fair?
Secondly is the sunback easy to trade?

Bid

i’ll be honest, i’m not the best with high amounts of pets trades, so i’ll try my best. using 2:1 ratio it seems like they are underpaying but maybe the target dogs have demand i’m unaware of. however if you take in the sunbacks demand it comes out slightly different, the sunback had high demand from what i’ve seen and will be easy to trade away. but again, i’m not the best and i would recommend getting a second opinion

Another opinion please.

Edit: Got another one. Is it fair.

Bid

the 09 sunback/sunjewel/etc dog plushies go for 1 MA each (source; trades)

their offer consists of 100c$ + an 09 vr, which would total around 155c$ max. considering the fact that 1 MA goes for 250-300c$, I'd say this is unfair, especially considering this plushie's popularity.

they'd need to add about 100c$ for this to be fair.

edit: sorry, just realised the pet they're offering is the purple splatter dog, which is on horror's list and is worth 4 09 rares (0.5 MA). so, they need to add about 50c$ or so for it to be fair (to bring up the c$ value to 150c$, 0.5 MA).

how's this?

we all know what sorbs are worth so I'm skipping straight to their side-
- firestar / vr 08 warrior = 1+ MA (source; trades)
- pale pink / blue spotted dog / pale blue spot dog = 1 MA (trades)
- horsehair wigs = tend to fetch 1 09 rare each, with the natural hair colours fetching this more consistently (source; trades). there's 14x of them (full set!) so that adds up to 2 MAs, but considering it's a whole set I'd be tempted to bump it up to 2.25 MAs.
- love berries = 2011 uncommon/rare, I usually value it at a rare.
- ring toss token = this particular one is only worth a 2011 uncommon, it's extremely common to come by
- cut of meat = anywhere from a 2011 rare to a 2009 rare+ (source*, trades) *I would however ignore this post as this user undervalued all the items listed, such as the horsehair wigs and 2011 elf set items, which all consistently go for an 09 rare+. personally I value the cut of meat at a steady 09 rare.
- feast & harvest platter = 2011 uncommon ea.
== 4.25 MA + 2009 rare + 2011 rare + 3x 2011 uncommons

due to the sorb sitting at 5-7 MA value, they're a tad under even the lowest threshold; unfair to you imo.

trade 1 - there is very little updated info about the 08 reindeer plushie, the cs items guide puts it at an 09 rare/very rare from October or November. I think people are still generally trading 1-2 09 rares for it, so this trade is pretty fair.

personally I'd stick to valuing the reindeer plushie at an 09 vr / 2 09 rares, so I'd accept this (if you're not a fan of rats, swap it out for another late 09 rare).
----------------------------------
trade 2 - this is gonna be a bit confusing due to the cross years so bear with.
their side:
- early 2012 uncommon
- 5x 2013 uncommons
- 2019 uncommon
- 2020 uncommon

your side:
- late 2012 uncommon
- 2013 common, 2x 2013 uncommons
- 2x 2014 uncommon
- 2019 uncommon, 2x 2019 commons
- 2020 uncommon

if you follow the 3-month rule (i.e., pets can trade for -/+ 3 months of their release date, as long as it's within the same rarity) and if you follow the 2:1 rule, then:
- their 2020 uncommon is a month out to be able to swap for your 2020 uncommon (unfair to you)
- their 2019 uncommon is a month out of being able to swap for your 2019 uncommon (unfair to them)
^^^ I'd say that this cancels out due to both of you being a month under/over, so fair ultimately
- 2013 uncommon = 2 2014 uncommons, + the 2 2013 uncommons & common = 3.5 2013 uncommons, so the leftover 1.5 2013 uncommons could cover the 2019 commons with value leftover on their side.

sorry if that was confusing oof- ultimately I'd say they're overpaying slightly due to the leftover 2013 uncommons and the date difference between their 2012 uncomon and yours. I hope this makes sense! it all comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.
----------------------------------
trade 3 - your tess dragon is just a regular rare worth 3-month rule or 2 09 rares. they're offering an 09 warrior cat (leopardstar) which go for 2-3 09 rares each, as well as another '09 & '11 rare, totalling their side to 3.25-4.25 09 rares. unfair to them, they're overpaying.
- check out the warrior cat guide here, as the 08 warriors are worth more, so just fyi <:
----------------------------------
trade 4 - guinea pigs have decent demand I believe, but nevertheless this particular guinea is worth 3-month rule or 2 2010 rares (or 1 09 rare, being a 2010 VR). the sitting cat they're offering is an 09 warrior (longtail), which again, goes for 2-3 09 rares. I'd say they're overpaying, unfair to them.
- if they had 1 09 rare + the other two rares, I'd say that's a pretty good deal, with the 2014 rare and/or 2017 rare covering the heightened demand guinea pigs have, so maybe edit it to that <:

should i accept???

following this chart, your 2011 rare = 4 2011 uncommons, so technically they're overpaying. however, they're offering low-demand pets in exchange for your dog, so it's up to you whether you accept or not - if you like the pets they're offering, then go for it.

personally, I would not accept as I find ponies/rats trade a lot worse than dogs, so maybe exchange the 4 2011s they're offering for 4 2011 dogs/cats/other higher demand pets <:
