The "Is this a fair trade?" Thread

[Bakura]

Is this a fair swap?
I've had multiple people cancel the same trade and I'm not sure if I'm paying enough.

The trade is fair! Both pets are valued at 1 MA or 6-9 09 rares

[+Vesper]

Would this be fair? I know nothing about OMG rares.

Fair, both are 1 non demand wise.

Note: Zebra's have bad demand - but in my subjective opinion that Zebra is worth more because of it's adopted date (since it was adopted not on dec 18th)
****just my opinion tho, trade is good otherwise!

edit. checked the demand; zebra is worth 0.75-1 and dog is about 1
So technically they're underpaying by demand.

Hi, what do you think about this trade?

Unsure of demand for both, but of course based on just rarity and date it would not be fair. Thank you!

Really need help with this one

Snip

Please be careful with advice, if you use the 2:1 rule ro convert lower values into unc and then use the c$ guide the total value is about
Thier side; c$89
Your side c$130
So actually your side is over by quite a bit

More details below

Thier side

2011= 20
2016 store= 55 but has some demand so may go for higher
2017=8
2019=4
2022x2= 2

Your side
2014 unc= 5
2016 unc=3
2017 unc=2
2018 uncs x 6= 9
2019 x 5= 5
2020 unc x 15= 11.25
2021 unc x 108= 81
2021 r x 2= 4
2022 unc x 20= 10

C$ values and conversions are highly subjective and this is NOT the way to judge the fairness of a trade, especially considering the C$ values on that guide thread are very outdated and do not consider demand. If that's the way you do it, then you're free to, but objectively it is not a good way to give advice. I would personally consider this unfair to their side, especially considering they have a store pet that is part of a set that is well-liked. To the original poster, it is up to you how you value bulk in these amounts but I would highly recommend checking that this person knows what they're offering.

Agree with holodog, it's a 2016 store cheetah. I forgot how much is worth (I think either 0.5/1 MA) but do not use the C$ values. The cheetah is c$ is worth 250-300c$ I think. So the top side with the cheetah is worth way more than the bottom. Please don,t accept, I would explain to the person on the other side of this trade. Be nice and treat them fairly. If they do know then it's fine.

So to make this fair, would they need to add another rare or two? Or what would be needed to make this fair?

I'm not the best with C$ so I'm only going to be addressing the first trade. The other person's side has a value of about 1 ma( probably closer to 0.75 tho since its a rat) meaning their side is definitely overpaying because although the tiger pps does have a lot of demand it isn't listed in horrors list as anything above 1-2 09 rares (for reference I traded for mine using 3-month rule by trading my store black fairy fox for it) however besides just blatant worth if I was in your shoes I wouldn't take the rat due to just how bad demand is among them unless you have a fondness for them or know of a trading partner that would value this rat at its real value.

Hi, what do you think about this trade?

Unsure of demand for both, but of course, based on just rarity and date it would not be fair. Thank you!

At face value, this is unfair because the deer is worth 1 ma while the cheetah is worth 0.5 ma, and demand wise they both do about the same so unless this individual is seeking to overpay or you are looking to overpay I wouldn't accept this trade.

Is this a fair swap?
I've had multiple people cancel the same trade and I'm not sure if I'm paying enough.

this is fair, however some people may just prefer/value the deer over the your pet due to looks

Would this trade be fair, and would you personally accept it? They're valuing the green dragon at 4 '09 rares. I have 128 lions on my side.

lion counts:
'11 uncommons = 10
'12 uncommons = 22
'13 uncommons = 21
'13 commons = 4
'14 uncommons = 39
'14 commons = 32

Lions of note (I've found these can go for slightly more, with the snow lion having the highest demand of the group): '12 snow lion, 2 uncommon PPS cubs, 4 '13 purple winged Advent lions

Thank you in advance for any help!

I did some quick dividing to try and figure out how many rares this would equal using the 2 uncommon to 1 rare rule (not every trade partner uses this so this won't always be accurate) but what I got is
2011 uncommons: 1.25 09 rares
2012 uncommons: 1.375 09 rares
2013 uncommons: 0.65 09 rares
2014 uncommons: 0.61 09 rares
2014 commons: 0.25 09 rares
which all together equals roughly 4 09 rares, so while this is fair using the 2:1 ratio I feel your side should probably add a bit more for wiggle room since these are commons and uncommons for a malk dragon.
