your dog plushies are from christmas 2011
their horse blanket is a free item from 2010 in the store, you can still get it so even though it was released a while ago it's not worth much as new versions of it come into circulation every day
their beach bg night is a free item from febuary 2013 in the store, again you can still get this item for free
their body armor piece was released during the 2013 slumber party summer event and (if i remember correctly) was a token trade in where you would randomly get a full matching set of armor pieces per each trade-in; it's worth a late 2013 uncommon at most, but most likely only a late 2013 common for just that single piece as it's supposed to be part of a set
their skeleton mask was released during the 2013 halloween event and was either a free item during the event or the same deal as the armor piece ^; worth a late 2013 uncommon or possibly a late 2013 rare at most because it's more valuable than the armor piece as it can stand on it's own as a mask
their aurora borealis BG was released during the 2014 christmas event, BGs don't usually fetch much on their own so probably worth around a late 2014 uncommon
their candy land BG was released during the 2015 candy event, same deal as the aurora borealis BG, it's probably worth at most a late 2015 uncommon
and their stage curtains i couldn't find but since items show up in trades in chronological order, it's no older than 2015 and it's a set piece so worth at most a 2015 uncommon

the 2011 christmas dog plushies are worth at least an '11 uncommon each, i've definitely seen them go for more since they're so old and plushie items in general are pretty popular, they could easily fetch a '11 rare each

the pets on their side, even though they're rare, don't make up for much as they were released in the past two years

in my opinion, this trade is very unfair to you

this is pretty unfair to you. what they're offering doesn't add up to the worth a single '10 rare, let alone two of them. also, the pet species on your side are more popular than chicks (this doesn't mean too much when trading more recent pets but with older pets it's definitely considered more).

their side is mostly pets older than 2020, your side is mostly pets younger than 2020

your trade partner seems to only be considering rarities, not year, and matched the quantity of each rarity on both sides (1 rare:1 rare , 4 uncommon:4 uncommon , 5 common:5 common , 1 very common:2 very common , 1 omg so common:1 omg so common). if all of the pets on both sides were from the same year, then it would be over trade on your side by 1 very common. however, a 2018 rare is definitely worth more than a 2022 rare as it's a difference of 4 years. i say it's overtrade on their side, so unfair to them.

Thoughts? I like the bee,but I’m not sure which side is better for trading.



i would personally prefer to own the bee due to demand and trading purposes
GWJ is a nightmare to trade on in my personal experience :D

Yes definitely the bee, since that's 2-3nons and they only want dog that is 1 non each steadily. And both dogs are pain to trade off :)

i'm not good with list pets, but i believe the first trade is unfair to the '17 store dogs

if you low-roll it, '17 store pets are worth around 45C$, 2022 store pets are worth around $25, this means you would have to make up for 80C$ on their side and I don't believe the rest of their side adds up to that much.
